The Impulse™  bio stimulant is solvated (dissolved) mixture comprising several naturally occurring biologically active molecular compounds (amino acids). These natural materials are food grade and are not, in any way, hazardous to aquatic or human life.

Impulse™  is a binary blend of amino acids in solution form. It is added to baits prior to use and is effective at invoking an enhanced feeding response among a broad cross- section of sporting species. The USER GUIDE details how to prepare all common baits.

Currently under development, Hydrostim™ promises to deliver on every serious carp angler’s dream – a liquid additive that, when added to any hydrolyzed protein (hydro), furnishes the same feeding stimulus as our legendary Impulse™ additive.

CypriophilT™ is a ‘universal’ fish attractant designed for use in the Invasive species mitigation and/or aquaculture industries. This multi-amino acid embodiment is designed to attract a wide assortment of cyprinoid species, including, but not limited to Asian carp (Black, Bighead and Silver), Common carp and Grass carp. Importantly, in common with original Impulse™, Cypriophil™ is also extremely efficient at attracting a variety of commercial species, including channel catfish and trout.

Impulse™  induces a spontaneous feeding response among a wide variety of species including: barbel, bream, carp, F1 hybrids, perch, roach, and tench (UK tests); as well as Asian carp, bass, buffalo, catfish, grass carp, shad, sturgeon, and trout (US tests).

All our product names point towards how each product either works or hints at what it does. For example, Impulse™ functions as a modulator of nerve impulses from the fishes’ chemoreceptors to the brain – the physiological process that results in a greatly enhanced feeding response.

Briefly, the products are olfactory Molecular Recognition feeding stimulants. They target specific classes of chemoreceptor sites at the fishes' olfactory membranes. If introduced into an aquatic environment, at recommended levels, they induce an enhanced searching and feeding response from a broad cross-section of fish species.

Molecular Recognition (MR) is a term used in biochemistry to explain how molecules of specific size, shape and chemical functionality bind to dedicated receptor sites.

Yes and No. In order to invoke a feeding response, a specific threshold concentration of Impulse™ must be generated around the baited area. Thus, single dipped baits will typically not reach this threshold, but, for example, a bait used in conjunction with a small PVA bag of pellets certainly would. See the USER GUIDE for full details on specific applications.

NO! Impulse™, Hydrostm™  and Cypriophil™  are olfactory stimulants, not hormones or pheromones. Thus, these products should NOT be confused, or associated, with any type of pheromone-based attractants that have previously appeared on the market.

Both. We have determined, contrary to the scientific literature, that the concentration of an amino acid in the fishes’ environment determines the fishes’ response. Simply, low concentrations are attractive, while higher concentrations are stimulatory.

While this is possible for some specially designed highly porous bird food mixes, it is not recommended to include Impulse™ into typical homemade base mixes as the resulting boilies are not typically porous enough to generate the required concentration of Impulse™ around the bait in situ. The key point is that a threshold concentration of Impulse™ must be established around the bait to invoke feeding stimulation – this is simply not possible through the very low leak rate associated with encapsulation within a boilie.
