I'm quite a fan of particles with a hook bait fished over the top, the hook bait tends to vary depending on the venue, bollie, sweetcorn etc
Now I quite like adding condensed milk to add sweetness and a great cloud attractant but for a change or an addition to the condensed milk does anyone recommend a dash of something else?

Not an additive as such, but I do keep the liquid in which the particles were cooked. If you judge the quantities right you can get it so there is only just enough left after cooking to keep them from drying out, and this becomes really concentrated - especially after a few days when it starts to ferment. This clouds the water around the bait and really gets the carp searching. The hardest bit is getting the liquid out to where you want it, but there are some modern devil-inspired inventions that ought not to be mentioned on here which will help (you know what I mean!)

I add coconut milk to my particles, similar to condensed milk cloud wise but a different flavour to the mix. It's worked quite well on my local farm lake.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Sugar and salt. Works a treat.
