N-Butyric acid is a very potent organic acid which smells like rancid butter but, it works wonders. Only tiny amounts are required, as little as 1-4 drops per kg in base mixes when used to compliment other flavours. For extra powerful baits where instant attraction is needed N-Butyric acid can be used up to 1ml in a 500g mix. N Butyric acid is highly water soluble which makes it an excellent additive to use during the cold water temperatures in the depths of winter. Higher amounts can be used for special hookbaits. Be warned though, this stuff really does stink bad, do not open in doors or you will be living in the shed! Not wife or girlfriend friendly! Please make sure you wear gloves at all times when using N-Butyric acid.
