ESSENTIAL OILS

BERGAMOT

A native herb of the USA, growing profusely in swamps! As a member of the mint family it has been used widely as a substitute for tea.The major aromatic constituents being linalylesters. The oil is very fine and disperses into small droplets when in water, it is easily emulsified, and has accounted for some good carp throughout the country.

Available in 30ml bottles.

Suggested inclusion rate is 6-8 drops per pound dry mix. A good oil to use on a seed bait mix, as well as HNV.

BLACK PEPPER

The best black pepper is undisputedly grown in Malaga. The berries are collected just as they turn red and then allowed to dry until they turn black and wrinkled. The clear oil has a distinct spicy back note, which although bitter is not overwhelming, quite subtle in fact, it is partially water miscible, and therefore easy to emulsify. The chief aromatic constituents are terpenes

Available in 30ml bottles.

Suggested inclusion rate is 16- 24 drops per pound dry mix.This is a big fish oil, and will require some pre-baiting.

CLOVE

An evergreen tree, the oil can be extracted from the bud, leaf and stem of the plant. It has a marvellous spicy aroma, light brown in colour with a principal ergenol aromatic top note. What can you say about this one, it has been around since the mid 60s, caught prolifically then and continues to do so

Available in 30ml bottles.

Suggested inclusion rate is 8-12 drops per pound dry mix

GARLIC

A bulbous plant of the onion family, its origin is so ancient it has not been traced! For those who can bear its pervasive smell it must be one of the biggest fish catchers of all time. A thick oil that varies in colour from brown to pale yellow, it can even be smelt through the bottle, and is best stored away from the kitchen! The dense oil forms individual globules in water, which can sink and spread. An unmistakable aroma, the chief aromatic constituents being amylsulphides

Available in 30ml bottles.

Suggested inclusion rate is 1 drip or less per pound dry mix.

GERANIUM

The oil is extracted from the leaves and stems of pelargonium graveolens and is grown in North Africa and Central and Western Europe. A beautiful floral aroma the thin green oil tends to form a large surface film in contact with water and is partially water miscible. Geranoil and citronellal are the chief aromatic compounds of the oil.

Available in 30ml bottles.

Suggested inclusion rate is 1-1.5ml per pound dry mix.Geranium has proved to be one of the most instant oils and seems to attract every species as well as carp

PAPRIKA

The oil is derived from the fruit and seeds of the pepper capsicum arnum, grown in America. From the success of paprika powder in baits over the years, and red pepper spices in bird foods we knew this oil would be a big fish catcher from the start.

Available in 30ml bottles.

Suggested inclusion rate is 6-12 drops per pound mix.

N-BUTYRIC

Strangely enough the carp just love it. 1 drop per egg is about right and you can use it with all essential and natural identical attractors. This is also a terrific cold water attractor as it dissolves much quicker in cold water, ideal for the winter and single hookbait situations.

Available in 30ml bottles.

One mix I like is 4ml red fruit, 6 drips N-Butyric. It is a real stinker
