Start with the role you need the ingredient to play.

There is no single compulsory formula. Begin with a sound base, then shape its texture, food signal, colour and character. The collection below brings together Haith's bird foods, colour foods, spices and specialist blends used by generations of bait makers.

01

FOUNDATION

Ready Mix™, Red Band®, Nectarblend and CLO give you practical starting points for a birdfood-style mix.

02

COLOUR + SPICE

Robin Red®, Robin Gold®, Robin Green®, Robin Orange®, Spanish Pepper RRR™ and GTP Spice™ add a distinct direction.

03

TEXTURE + FOOD

Red Factor™, Egg Biscuit™, PTX™ and Rearing and Condition Food help create a more open, food-rich structure.

04

PROTEIN + DEPTH

Prosecto™, MarineRed™ and High-Protein Crumbs can build a different nutritional and textural profile.

05

MAKE IT YOURS

SuperRed™, HoneyRed™ and prepared Tiger Nuts offer more ways to test, adapt and layer attraction.

CONTROL THE VARIABLES

A BETTER WAY TO DEVELOP A BAIT.

  1. 01
    CHOOSE A STARTING FORMULA

    Begin with a proven ratio or a familiar base rather than adding everything at once.

  2. 02
    CHANGE ONE THING

    Alter one ingredient, inclusion level, texture or liquid so the result teaches you something.

  3. 03
    MAKE A SMALL BATCH

    Check how it mixes, rolls, cooks and behaves before committing more ingredients.

  4. 04
    LOG THE RESULT

    Write down the exact ratios and process. Good bait development depends on repeatability.
