Robin Red Method Mix

Des Shipp noticed this when he kept getting hits on the Method Feeder, but they weren't turning into actual bites. This was because the fish were peeling all the groundbait off the feeder without touching the hookbait, effectively leaving the hookbait empty, thus defeating the purpose of Method Feeder fishing. So we decided to create a stickier, harder, denser groundbait that was easier to pack onto the Method Feeder for the venues where this happens.

Robin Red Method Mix has a very high protein content, derived from fishmeal and ground pellets, and it is this that helps it to compact around the Method feeder, meaning it will easily withstand the impact of casting, hitting the water, being dropped and any small thumps from fish trying to dislodge the groundbait.

The Robin Red Method Mix contains a quantity of Haith's Robin Red, a highly melting ingredient that has been used in fishing for many years.

It's not just a Method bait, as the name suggests. The high fishmeal content lends itself perfectly to creating a paste for fishing rods by simply adding more water. If you prefer a very runny paste, continue adding water until you reach the desired consistency.

Mixing instructions

Robin Red Method Mix is ​​easy to mix. Empty the 2kg bag of groundbait into a round bucket, fill a 2-pint maggot tray with water, pour it over the groundbait and mix thoroughly, then leave to stand for 30 minutes; during this time, the water will absorb into the groundbait. For best results, pass the groundbait through a sieve to remove any lumps and create a uniform consistency; it's ready to use.

When fishing, sun and wind can dry out your groundbait slightly; to avoid this problem, you can cover your mixed groundbait with a damp cloth or, if it dries out, add a little water and mix again.
