    well it does work. i used it years ago for pre baiting. havnt used it in years though as when i got a bit more experienced i wasnt sure if it was good for the welfare for the fish, as most cattle feed is pretty high in copper.

    2 things work for me..

    calf nuts soaked overnight in boiling water and put through a riddle makes a lovely fluffy groundbait.

    also maiza flakes are great if you can get them out into the swim.. for prebaiting only
