Brasem
A favourite for bream over many years,
Brasem is most effective when added to mixed groundbait in small
doses. Also available in white. Photo. Vanille
Vanille
Similar to Brasem but with a more subtle aroma. Useful to add
extra flavour to a carp groundbait.

additive to maggots. Use instead of maize. Degreases and flavours.

Pigeon Sh*t
Pigeon Sh*t Britain's top canal squat angler
Mark Pollard always uses Pigeon as part of his groundbait mix
.
I don't know what it is about Van Den Eynde Pigeon that makes
it so attractive to roach. But I do know that since I've been
using it as part of my canal groundbait, my catches have increased
on many venues.. It's made from the dried droppings of racing
pigeons fed on only the best-quality seeds, so what goes in one
end comes out from the other in finely ground form. As an addition
to groundbait, it releases lots of oils and also adds a lot of
cloud effect to the groundbait. I use it with Supercup, Supermatch
and Crushed Hemp, always riddling after mixing.

Coconut Molasses
Coconut Molasses Anglers who prefer powdered
additives, but want to add something very sweet to their groundbait,
should take a look at Coconut Molasses. Not only is this additive
very sweet, it also serves as a gentle binder to groundbait. Some
anglers use it neat with a little water added in open end feeder,
while others use it as part of a groundbait mix.

PV1 Collant
A sweet binder made with a lot of fine
brown sugar, PV1 Collant is designed primarily as binder to groundbait,
but it also adds a lot of sweetness to a mix making it ideal for
summer fishing and for bream in particular. Take care when you
mix it into a groundbait, adding water a little at the time until
the desired texture is achieved.

Dry Leam Shakers Van den Eynde dry
leams come in three colours, all available in handy shakers. The
best known is grey leam which is the heaviest of the three and
best used to bind jokers together for feeding, or for stiffening
groundbaits in small amounts. Black leam is very, very fine and
forms a spreading cloud in clear water, while red leam also clouds
but sinks a little faster.

Damp Leam & Damp
Leam Black
Alan Scotthorne
rates damp leams as a vitally important constituent to many of
his groundbait mixes. A lot of people are confused about damp
leam, because it's heavy and it's clay, they assume that it holds
a ball of groundbait together for ages. That's not true at all.
What damp leam does is make a groundbait much heavier to go down
quickly, but as long as it's mixed correctly - not too wet - the
ball of groundbait will then break up fairly quickly once it's
on the bottom. I always use damp leam on deep swims for feeding
the bottom, often with brown crumb for bream, and World Champion
for its sticky texture. Always add damp leam at the end of the
mixing process, and riddle.
