How To - Make Will Reynolds All-Round Autumn Ground Bait Mix
As the temperatures drop and fish feeding habits change, having the right ground bait mix is essential. Follow this simple step-by-step guide to make Will Reynolds’ All-Round Autumn Ground Bait Mix — a perfectly balanced blend that keeps fish confident and feeding through the cooler months.
Get your ground bait
Grab yourself a bag of Mainline Match Bagga Mix. A mix full of high-quality pellets, mixes really easily and is not too vibrant in colour, which can put fish off this time of year.
Measure your ground bait
Pour 2 pints of ground bait into a bait box. This 2-pint Conti box works a treat; simply fill the ground bait up to the lip, and it does all the measuring for you.
Pour into the bucket
Pour the ground bait into an 18L bucket, allowing for ample room to work.
Measure your water
This time, using a 1-pint bait tub, fill it with water.
Pour into the bucket
Pour it into the bucket with the ground bait. This will give you a ratio of 2 parts ground bait to 1 part water. This may help in the future when you use this mix again.
Mix together
Mix all the ingredients together, ensuring the ground bait is thoroughly soaked in the water. Then, let it rest for 20 minutes.
Pass over your Multi Riddle
Once 20 minutes have passed, it's now time to pass it over a Multi-Riddle.
Push through the multi riddle
Push the ground bait through. Will likes to use a 4mm mesh for this mix this time of year. Giving the ground bait a nice, fluffy feel.
The perfect ground bait
Here's the finished article, a ground bait no fish can resist this time of year.
