Our world-famous Red Band Pigeon Conditioner also makes a great fishing bait!
Now well known within the carp fishing community throughout Europe, Red Band was originally one of the best-kept secrets of carp anglers in the Home Counties. It featured heavily in the success of anglers on Savay as well as those on the other prestige venues in the Colne Valley. An effective, yet inexpensive, blend of slightly larger seeds flavoured with aniseed oil, Red Band is highly attractive to carp, tench and other large coarse fish. It’s perhaps one of the best seed mixes of all time (according to some) and it's outright famous for fishing! Ground down to a fine powder - I (Ken Townley) use a coffee grinder - Red Band can be included as an integral part of a birdfood base mix, especially if other top quality products are used to supplement the recipe. Red Band is a nutritionally balanced, medium protein/high energy seed mix, which is supplemented with high-attract mini pellets and topped off with aniseed.
Preparation is simplicity itself: simply soak the Red Band overnight, and then boil it for 15-20 minutes so that much of the water is reduced. Correctly prepared Red Band exudes a thick, glutinous, milky goo and carp find this sticky liquid practically irresistible.
Bait making tip:
To make a larger batch of bait, leave five kilos of Red Band in soak for a minimum of 24hrs, and then boil it in a Baby Burco for 15mins. Switch off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. After a further 24hrs, the Baby Burco will be is full of sweet-smelling seeds swimming in a juicy soup of thick glutinous liquid. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a Baby Burco, as you can prepare smaller amounts on your cooker at home in exactly the same way.
No longer on the secret list, Red Band Pigeon Conditioner is one of the best seed mixes going.
Match anglers also benefit from the pulling power of our many seed and groundbait products, so give our Red Band a try. You might be surprised at the success it will bring!

Hi Mark, many thanks for your lovely review.
I've been using this for a while as the carp love it and its quite cheap compared with other baits. It's also easy to prepare and doubles in volume whem soaked and boiled. I then mix it with some ground bait and it keeps fish in the peg for ages.

Hello Roy, many thanks for your great review. We're so pleased that the product has worked for you.
Excellent next day delivery, been using this product for a few seasons always gets results, the swim is often fizzing after the first few spods and keeps them there. The addition of molasses certainly enhances the aniseed flavour of a proven particle feed.

"Probably the best conditioner on the market."
"Excellent product will be ordering more"
"Incredibly brilliant carp bait. First session using it and I caught the most carp in one session. Lovely aniseed aroma, clean seeds and cooks easily after a 24hr soak. Add some hemp, sweet corn and hemp oil and you have an incredibly effective spomb mix that attracts, and holds fish in your swim for hours."
"Superb quality mix. Exactly as described. Smells great and works a treat."
"Great mix. Just follow the prep instructions. I caught a 30lb mirror first time I used it !"
"Been using Red Band in a 50/50 mix with hemp through Spring and Summer and have had fantastic results."
"I have been using red band for over 30 years now and have not found a better particle bait.I mix it with the new haiths super nut powder with a sprinkling of tiger nuts and your boilies of choice,topped of with 25ml of robin red with garlic liquid. a deadly combination which has accounted many good fish from my syndicate lake."
"Red band is a product with multiple uses I've used red band for nearly 40 years. In my opinion you can't beat getting it from the right source because the product your getting (is the product) haiths make."
