Great video Joe - was on the supercrush expander at the weekend, used half a bag and still had 50% of what I mixed up left over. A continued plea though back to the packaging team - resealable bags would make a huge difference to both overall waste, and importantly spillage in the car/house of ground bait and pellets.

Unfortunately our bagging machine doesn't work with the resealable bags (when sonu had those it was a much smaller business and they were actually filled by hand!)

@@MatchFishingFilms Thanks for that - lets hope when those machines are end-of-life and are replaced that there are some more environmentally conscious options considered, as well as re-usuable/resealable. Far too much plastic waste in both Sonubaits and Preston packaging.

Get a few air tight tubs from Asda or some where I keep my pellets n ground bait in those keeps the mice away too

Great video joe thank you for sharing 👍👍

Great tips Joe!!!

Awesome video. It’s a real quality groundbait. I always have a bag or half a bag with me on the bank.

Brilliant Joe 👍

I have got 4 matches using super crush expander for down the edge small balls with dead maggots brilliant mix Joe 🤩🤩👍🏻🎣

brilliant Joe I agree you don't need a full bag but the bags it comes in aren't resealable keep the good ideas coming much appreciated

Great video that thanks joe

Joe Re-sealable bags for a Start would go a long way , I’m Shaw I speak for a lot of Anglers 👍

Crush expander is the absolute business. Superb groundbait.

Nice one thankyou

Excellent product for the value of your money 👌👌👌

Hi Joe, great video and good mixing advice 👍,Here's a little SONUBAITS tip I've found out recently, the pro feed expanders are the best expanders ever no pumping anymore but the bags once opened can get a bit oily, I now use an empty Bait Booster bottle and a full bag a of expanders fits in the bottle perfectly and it's environmentally friendly using the empty Booster bottle 👍

Great video. I learned this by measuring out the dry groundbait in a tub, then mixed it up, came to put it back in the tub and realised it wouldn't fit!

A bargain 👍🏻

I would never mix all the groundbait. Usually I'm preparing small part around 200-300gr and see how my fishing is going. If the fish doesn't react to the food, then I don't mix anymore and think about changing position, or the food, or the tactic...

Eight quid a bag does sound a lot (especially when it was six quid not long ago) but like Joe says, that 2kg goes a long way. I also remember paying £4 a kilo for the first fishmeal groundbaits when they came out twenty odd years ago (Sillybait and Crazybait Gold) so actually in real terms it's cheaper. Sadly the price hikes on everything is something we'll have to get used to for a bit 😕

I dread to think what that would be! The price of timber we need for work is rising outrageously - the cost of some plywood we use went up £30 per sheet not too long ago! I've heard various things from suppliers about shipping costs rising five or six fold in a year or so - nobody can absorb all that cost.

I always end up making too much groundbait!

Interesting video Joe although I always thought it was 2 pints of water for 2kg of groundbait, not 2 litres of waters (that's 3.5 pints)? I always get a perfect mix of F1 dark and Thatchers (2kg in total) using 2 pints of water 🤷‍♂️

It depends what you want it for. For method you want less water. For edge fishing and 'clumping' it wants to be super saturated

Brilliant stuff that 👍 I think 5kg- 10kg sealable bags would be a good shout just take out what you need and leave the rest in the garage less rubbish at your pegs aswel

If you put six litres of stuff in a bucket, you have six litres of stuff in a bucket. Still love your videos Joe.

Fact is groundbait and pellet prices are getting out of hand but putting it 2KG only was a bad move there are anglers out there that simply can't afford £7.99 a bag I'm lucky i have a good job but not everybody has a job groundbait should also be available in 1KG Bags for people who can't afford £7.99,good video joe seriously angling is pricing anglers out of the sport,

Not being funny but if you can’t afford a bag of groundbait then you probably can’t afford to go fishing period. If money is so tight then look no further than bread, sweetcorn, luncheon meat etc. You don’t have to have groundbait to catch.

Not the case. 2kg of some gb doesn't well up anywhere near as much as this. Green fishmeal that we do for instance doesn't swell very much.
