A heavy mix with strong binding properties means it is perfect for using on the feeder or balling in on rivers. Being heavy will ensure that it goes straight to the bottom before breaking up. It is a slow acting dormant mix that is ideal for carrying other baits such as chopped worm and casters to the bottom or it can be added to other groundbaits to make them heavier and bind better for fishing in faster flow or deeper water.
Mick Vials (England Feeder Team) says "So Natural River groundbait is one of my go to groundbaits, I always carry it in the van. I like the fact I can add it to any groundbait and it makes it heavier and bind better, this means I can tailor my groundbait to suit the situation on the day."
"Used straight from the bag it mixes up into a really heavy groundbait which binds well, so it balls in easily and can be used to carry plenty of chopped worm, but one of my favourite feeder skimmer mixes is 1/3rd River, 1/3rd Bream and 1/3rd soil which is a nice heavy dark mix with plenty of feed for the skimmers."
Mixing Instructions
So Natural River is simple to mix. Empty the 1kg bag of groundbait into a round mixing bucket, fill a 1 pint maggot tub with water, pour this onto the groundbait and mix thoroughly, then allow it to rest for 30 minutes, during this time the water will be absorbed into the groundbait. Then for best results; to remove any lumps and create an even consistency, pass the groundbait through a riddle and it is ready to use.
When fishing sun and wind may dry the groundbait out a little, to combat this you can cover the mixed groundbait with a damp towel or if it does dry out just add a little more water and mix again.
