If you are fishing for bream then the Sensas pure brown crumb is an excellent base for the mix, then I think it is very much dependadnt on the time of year and the water temperature what else you add to the mix.

Here in the UK it is now starting to get a bit colder but the fishing is still good so we are putting a little leam in with the mix. Personally I like the Van den Eynde Super Match and Secret for silverfish as a basis + a little of perhaps Black Turbo or Super Roach / River or Super Lake. Also there is an additive from Trabucco called Tracics which comes in different colours which can make a nice cloud effect as the balls are breaking up on the bottom and can give an advantage I beleive if you are fishing for lots of small fish.

Alot of the guys who come over to the Irish festivals use crushed buscuit in their bream groundbait mix along with some vanilla flavouring and they swear by this - this tends to be a light coloured and very sweet mix. Personally I believe that you should worry as much about the colour of your groundbait mix as the content but the amount of salt in it is also crucial at certain venues and times of the year - just get a flour seive and seive off a bag of something like secret and see how much there is in there! But also as Salt acts as a diuretic for the fish so sometimes it is a big advantage to add a good couple of handfulls of salt to a mix - something that alot of people wouldnt think of doing!

Anyway, just a few ideas
