i have done sean, but cant get the aniseed smell into it..........if its a liquid it will make the mix go wet or sticky and clump, how else can i do it ? redband ?

get some crushed hemp david

will hemp give it the aniseed smell graham ?

well it works on fish mate just add a couple of spots of anniseed they will at it trust me

or add this

the mix ive made looks just the same, and also ive got most of the ingredients in it.........once the birds start eating it and realise theres no aniseed they turn thier beaks up at it............

excellent, that looks just the thing graham, ill save that and give it a try ...........thanks.

well im sure its cheeper david after all thats whats in matrix

most animals crave for it i eat the bloody hemp when i go fishing lol

ive mixed most of the ingredients myself but if i can get this aniseed smell,taste so the birds like it im sure i could make a big mix of it cheaper than buying it........


think chris is right, fanciers who use matrix have created matrix addicts.....

Just buy hemp that's ardy coated in aniseed

david get some conditioner and add it to your diy matrix or get some aniseed oil and add it to some hemp let dry off and add the hemp to your grit mix

hi darren where will i get aniseed oil from ? and is it conditioning seed ? if so where do i get this ?

Shyd be able to get aniseed oil off ebay or a fishing tackle shop

red band is the conditioner yer after david and carrs sell the aniseed oil but its called trapping oil ......your corn merchant should sell the conditioner if not, colombine or versa laga and merrimans sell a sneaky mix which are just as good if not better ,i bought a sack of buctons conditioner for £17 but alot of corn merchants sell it broken down in 2 killo bags.

thanks darren, bought a bag of redband and mixed it with my own mixture.........they ate it just like matrix, so it will do until i can get some..........

im thinking of making my own in future as im sure even if it worked out roughly the same price it would make double the amount, and judging by what ive seen the ingredient they love most out of it is the redband/conditioning aniseed...........


onr thing i did go a bit wrong with in my mixture was too much brewers yeast, but ill know for future.........

David, Darren always used Red Band with crushed peanuts but the aniseed in the red band they go mad for

hi don, yes i used to use redband years ago.....but since restarting i havnt bothered until now, your right it is the redband in the matrix they find most addictive

i think ill start using redband again when racing to help with the conditioning and the trapping.

A lot of the mixtures o n the market are just a slitley different to the likes of the old trusty faitfuls like Red Band

once i have used mine up i will make the one sean said because it works out cheaper and as people have said its the aniseed they like

they sooner eat matrix than food lol

and thats all they go for anniseed
