I've tested 2 recipes in this video. The main difference is that one recipe included glycerine and the other did not.
Recipe 1:
2 tablespoon of commercial grade gelatine (240 bloom)
0.5 cup of water
0.5 teaspoon of krill flavour
Recipe 2:
2 tablespoon of commercial grade gelatine (240 bloom)
0.5 cup of water
0.5 teaspoon of sardine flavour
dash of red food colouring.
Recipe one proved to be best especially when used for jigging with a better hold on the hook.
Next step is to use this recipe in the paddle tail top pour mould to see how well it moulds.
This experiment used simple strips of the jelly baits. The mixture set in a 2 pound load tin and then it was sliced into 12 strips.
