Widely used by the bait making industry NOT as an alternative to Robin Red but as an ingredient in its own right. Some folks mistakenly refer to this ingredient as a poor man’s Robin Red, but that’s doing it a grave injustice! The fact is that Ready Mix is widely used by the bait making industry and home rollers as a highly attractive base mix ingredient that adds considerably to the nutritional properties of your bait. In fact, Ready Mix actually contains a proportion of Robin Red in the recipe, and it is true that, like Robin Red, it’s actually designed not as a fishing bait additive, but as a colouring agent for cage and aviary show birds, specifically canaries; however, the overall make-up of the bait is markedly different to Robin Red. This gives it a distinctively different smell and taste, one that carp easily recognise as suggesting a "food source" and one that they seem to love the taste of.
