Interesting stuff. I use oat balls in a "pack bait" for carp fishing. I mix oats, cream corn, various particles, and flavors. The mix breaks down in a few minutes making a nice spread. The carp then comes and picks up a hookbait with concentrated flavoring. I've found that oats with the husk on float. I always make sure to ask for the breakfast style when I visit the feed store. You can always stick the husk kind in a food processor.
As an ex commercial hand line yellowtail snapper fishermen who has caught well over 50,000 lbs over a period of years, from Palm Beach to the Florida Keys. My mixture was rolled oats, builders sand, store bought or fresh made chum. I always a 5 gallon bucket at a time. Add fresh or thawed chum to bucket, and equal amounts of sand and chum. Mix together. Depending on the current and depth you can adjust your sand or oats. Oats will float, sand is weight. The shallower you are the less sand, the deeper you are add more sand. Every time you fish, you make your chum at the spot to order. Get it right.
Haven’t tried the oat balls yet but I do mix the oil and oats and use a giant spoon to toss the mixture. What’s the go to soap/cleaner for the hands? I don’t like going to Woody’s smelling like Mr menhaden?
So will one of the future videos be using his balls? Lol... Don't think these'll work on smallmouth, but hey, I'll try anything once. (No I won't...) 😁
Thanks Steve. Enjoying the 101 aeries.
Hello Steve. This video was very educational. I learned a few things which I plan to follow. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent explanation of the proper oats to buy!

Various particles and flavours
Willing to bet it’s curry powder, garlic powder and maybe a tad of paprika.
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff dude
Thanks. Q: can you freeze the balls? Can you add dried milk to cloud up the water. Can you add grits...lol. thanks again.
Amazing, thank you Steve!

hands must stink for weeks lol nitrate gloves for me
Nope! Simply use lemon juice on your hands
I would definitely use glove!!
FYI - if you have any nicks on your hands from fishing and you mix the slop without gloves, you might end up with a nasty staph infection, I know.
Try a mortar mix blade in your hand drill. Works for me. At Home Depot south of you. I think it was about $10.
I tried chum ball the first time yesterday and it works! We could see bottom and the appeared quickly as the chum ball broke up. Caught our limit.
how did you make yours
Dam good stuff.
Still waiting on the rest of these videos to come out

do you have to store it in the freezer?
Why do you require an email address to shop your store??
Do you not think that hurts business?
