Some particle baits are effective on their own but many particles are better when combined in mixes. Combining particles is an easy and cheap way of delivering a bait that has many flavour, colour and shape characteristics. Some particles, like maples, are high in protein some, like groats, have good oil and energy levels by combining these you are creating a very natural and nutritious feed source.

With careful presentation it is possible to keep large numbers of fish occupied within your swim for ages by allowing them to dig up the bottom looking for these tiny particles. The more they dig around in the bed the further the particles are dispersed and the more desperate they become in their search for food. A carefully placed hookbait will soon be snapped-up.

The particle mixes below are well tried and tested mixes that consistently produce results.
