||
| Bammer |
Oh yes, stinkier the better | ||
| PeteB |
Yes... Any ideas why it works?? 
|
||
| maple |
because its high in vitamin c ? | ||
| The Hunter's Moon |
It also contains vits A, B ,E , minerals as well as sulphur compounds, Also Allicin which from memory acts as some sort of antioxidant  but is unstable & maybe an enzyme
All I know is that I hate the smell of the stuff especially on the train in the morning 
Pete, Germanium??????????

| maple |
i think i read somewhere , that the enzyme in garlic ,has the same sort of effects as viagra 
|
||
| PeteB |
Vitamins A & E are useful to a carp, B & C are readily available to carp from other sources.... What about pH???

Mr Broughton......Are you playing

Garlic works because it tastes good , some things are as simple as that.
If you had something with garlic in it could you tell me what vitamins it had in it just by taste alone ??? I really don't think a carp can ... |

Alliin.....or natural Sugars...

Jaffa,
Pete always likes to torture the mind 
Pete, P/h change seems to play a part in the outcome & reduction of……… 
Luci, You and that sweet tooth of yours

i think garlic has a ph of 7.3 .cheers.steve
|
||
| maple |
thats in its raw form , is that the same for powdered/granule garlic, i wonder ? |
||
| Brendon |
come on Pete...
enlighten us!!!!! |
||
| The Hunter's Moon |
Brendon
I don’t think he has tortured us enough yet!!!!!!!
Have a look at what the fish feed industry use it for & it doesn’t seem to have much to do with taste
Possibly Natures answer to Chloramphenicol
As for the p/H thing I have an idea  but I could well be wrong as is usually the case

Interesting reading if you have some spare time...
Hunter... you may well be right...
Sugars... Lucy, you are such a sweet thing..
Taste... carp do not have the luxury of allowing themselves to like/dislike a certain taste, they are basic creatures with food/non food decisions, what it tastes of is largely immaterial... anyone disagreeing with this statement is welcome to join me in a bloodworm and silt sandwich...
pH is a bit of a red herring in the case of Garlic though as it is best used within an acidic environment.... try mixing it 30:70 with cayenne pepper...

it does seem to have good benefits to carp.it promotes growth,helps in the digestion of bait and a natural antibiotic against desease.30 grams per kilo seems to be about the right level.does the decrease in lipids in the body when using garlic have any effect?.hope fully ive read it right pete .cheers.steve

| PeteB |
A good additive in fishmeal/oil glugged baits? YES... similar to adding increased levels of Vit E....
Balance in a bait... very important...
Some ingredients we use are harmful to fish in excess, balance that with the correct 'antidote' (for want of a better word) and you have a perfectly safe bait.....
'health food' for carp....

Pete
at what levels would the 30:70 ration would you recommend per kilo??? 15:50 grammes??? Is the garlic essential oil a worthwhile additive or is the granular version the most effective?? |
||
| PeteB |
40 - 60 gm per kilo would be about right... dependent on pH of the water...
|
||
| Brendon |
Cheers Pete

Lets put it into an understandable format as my mate Pete tends to complicate things due to his over active brain!(meaning he is a tad too clever)
I have found that combining 10ozs of cayene pepper or extra hot chilli powder with 4ozs of garlic powder the optimum combination.these amounts are used in a 14kg batch of basemix.Simple arithmatic should give you the desired amount for lesser amounts fellas
