Would any one be interested in forming a little group to share knowledge/experience with regard to homemade bait making?
Just for fun, homemade supermarket style bait trials.
My current area to explore is Unami, The 5th flavour. Google it, quite an interesting read.

| Count me in. I'm an ex- research chemist, and I constantly play with baits...have been doing for a decade. Only if I can try one of my weird additives on you though... |

I only saw it once - difficult to guess its make up, although it looked to me like CSL powder.
However, I've had good success using betaine powder. Careful when using betaine as its hygroscopic and takes on water, so keep it in an air tight container.
I have some CSL powder down in the garage; if you want a sample I'm happy to post one. |

| yes i have some kelp meal too but have never found any real difference to my catch rate. the other benefit of spirulina when enough is added, is that it actually attracts natural food into the area where your bait is |
