Mick Brown's Red Hot Meat

Geplaatst Wit Vis Tactiek at Sep 24, 2010

Dynamite Baits' all-rounder Mick Brown has been using spicy baits to great effect when targeting carp and barbel over the last few years. Here's how he gives his luncheon meat an added 'edge'...

Barbel and carp have a real liking from hot spicy baits, and probably one of the best attractors to achieve this taste sensation is Haith's Robin Red.

"It’s been one of the top attractors for these two species for numerous years and Dynamite Baits has harnessed the attractiveness of Robin Red by releasing it in a liquid form. This is perfect for adding to a range of baits, but particularly luncheon meat."

Here is how Mick creates his Red Hot Meat:

Step 1 - Dynamite Baits' Luncheon Meat has a great soft texture that makes it ideal for cubing and flavouring.

Step 2 - Use a meat cutter to quickly turn a tin of meat into perfect cubes.

Step 3 - Add about 40ml (two tablespoonfuls) of Robin Red Liquid Attractant and the tin of chopped meat to a sealable bait tub. Don't overfill the tub, it should be no more than half full.

Step 4 - Put the lid on the tub and shake well for a couple of minutes, or until all of the meat cubes are evenly covered in the Robin Red Liquid.

Step 5 - Leave the meat to soak in the liquid for an hour or preferably put it in the fridge overnight. Eventually, the meat will soak in the liquid giving a slow release of attraction and making it easier to handle.

Step 6 - To give the meat a really spicy chilli kick add a couple of handfuls of Spicy Chili Frenzied Hempseed to the tin of meat. The combination of the hot chili with the hemp is the perfect combination with the cubes of meat.

Step 7 - The finished mix looks like this. I normally put a couple of handfuls to one side to use as hook baits, allowing the meat cubes to soak up the Chilli Hempseed flavour on top of the Robin Red Liquid Attractant.

Step 8 - For loose feed I like to mash up the meat cubes with my hand, mixing it into the Chili Hempseed to produce a mush of different sized particles. This can be squeezed together to loose feed down the margins, forming a spicy cloud of attraction that carp simply cannot ignore.
