In this guide we will be showing you how to make a basic carp fishing liquid/goos/glugs for making ultimate attractants to give you that edge. It is easier than you think and you can make a gallon using our products for under £30.
Here is a list of the things you will need
The Carrier – Vegetable Glycerin
Vegetable Glycerin is the most common product used as a base to making your liquid and can be found on our website here VEGETABLE GLYCERIN
Choosing your flavour
We sell over 50 flavours on our site so get creative and try something different to everyone else, find our flavours here Fishing Flavourings
Bottles
You are going to need some bottles so grab them here 250ml Boston Bottles with nozzles
Before you start make sure you have a nice clean workspace and some paper towel to hand.
This guide will make 250ml of your chosen flavour
Step 1
Grab your chosen flavour/flavours and start by adding roughly 2% (5ml for 250ml) If using multiple flavours add for instance 3ml Peach and 2ml bavarian cream. In this example we are using 5ml of Crayfish flavouring.
Step 2
Top up to the shoulder with Vegetable Glycerin
Step 3
Give it a shake for about 20 seconds.
Step 4
Add the colouring then shake for another 20 seconds.
Final Step
For best results leave to steep for about 2 weeks to allow the flavour to mature.
You now have a basic liquid to Glug your baits, pellets, pop ups or add to a spod mix, the possibilities are endless.
This is down to personal preference but some like to add various attractors such as betaine, citric acid etc.
What a good hack; I will be using this one thank you
In some of the videos on YouTube they add corn flour to thicken and fluorescein to make more visible. Would you suggest adding these in the bottle or separately in a bowl.
We are not an advocate of using drain dye so cannot comment, but we would suggest mixing these in a bowl. However corn flour is a tough one, in testing we have found that this separates and ends up going hard at the bottom after time.
What can I use to thicken the mix up? I’ve used corn flour and as you say in a reply above, it separates so I want to stop using it but I don’t know what to use instead?!
0.7% xantham gum is a good thickener, once mixed add around 0.7% water and mix again (do this in a bowl)
That’s great, thank you very much
How did you get on with this ?
If I was to add attractors ( amino acids ) or example what percentage do you recommend
This all depends on the amino acid as they are all different, however we would recommend only adding about 3-6% maximum. Adding more will not increase the effect of the amino acids. Hope this helps.
