A good stick mix isn’t just “crumb” — it’s attraction, breakdown rate and nutritional value working together. The right carp stick mix releases oils, solubles and food particles immediately, while still offering enough feed to keep fish grubbing around and returning to the area.The Max Attract PVA-friendly stick mixes combine the same fresh powdered ingredients from the boilie range, hydrolysates, powdered liquid foods and fine attractors designed to activate instantly in any water temperature, and we have designed our stick mix to change color to match our boilies once immersed in water. They create a tight, high-signal feeding zone around the rig without overfeeding, making them ideal for pressured lakes, winter fishing and zig work.Whether you’re using solid bags, mesh bags or adding them to a spod mix — If the stick mix is creating the feeding response for you, suddenly everything else becomes simpler.
