Any good farm supply shop and it should be dirt cheap :wink:

I use it for fishing and 5ltrs costs me £2.95 8)

You can probably buy it in health food stores also the price will be at a premium :?

How the hell do you get it to stay on the hook?

OK, I can't figure this one out. No expert but I have fished casually over the years in fresh and salt water. What do you do with the molasses? :-k

What do you do with the molasses?
I use it to soak my micronised or flaked maize in.
It's a great addition to any particles :wink:

Also good for mixing ground baits and creating boilie dips

Delia reckons you should always use molasses instead of treacle!


Molasses is the extracted by-product from refined white sugar.
Not sure what makeup treacle is but i've got a 1gal pack to use up :shock:
So it's going in something 8)

I used to always think that black treacle and molasses were one in the same, but i'm sure i've read a few times that molasses has more nutrients or something. You can get solid molasses and lyles black treacle from most supermarkets.
