Re: Roach Reflections
The bag I currently have is from GW Titmuss; it's OK but not the best. Some say Haith's bait is better?

Re: Roach Reflections
The photo I used in the video was quite old and possibly before someone told me about iron tablets. Cooked tares do vary regardless of using bicarb and iron tablets and the roach don't seem to mind that much if the tares are brown rather than jet black.Gobio Gobio wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 12:51 pmMark, I notice your tares are very brown compared to black which is what I thought the norm was, that's unless there wheat?

Re: Roach Reflections
Thanks Mark, I always knew about bicarb but never heard of using iron tablets.

Re: Roach Reflections
I've created another video in my Roach Reflections series. Here's Part 16 which takes a broader look at roach baits:

Re: Roach Reflections
I tried Mystic paste (red) a few times in the 70's. Seemed to catch a lot of decent roach on it. Gawd knows what's in it. IIRC it used to dissolve my plastic bait lid very slightly.
