The Return of a Classic Meat-Based Groundbait
Gold Medal Meatamix is a high-protein groundbait made from finely blended dry meat and a carefully selected combination of additional ingredients.
It’s a light, versatile mixture developed for anglers targeting carp, chub, perch, barbel and a wide range of other coarse fish.
Meat-based baits have a long history in coarse fishing, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s, when anglers regularly experimented with meat products, dog biscuits and other high-protein food ingredients.
Now Meatamix has returned as part of the Gold Medal Groundbaits range, bringing that traditional approach to modern coarse fishing.
A Groundbait with Fishing Heritage
During the 1970s and 1980s, meat-based baits became increasingly popular among coarse anglers.
Anglers discovered that a variety of meat and protein-rich products could be used when targeting species such as carp, chub and barbel.
Meatamix draws on that tradition, using finely blended dry meat as a key ingredient in a groundbait that can be introduced in several different ways.
Whether you’re fishing a quiet margin on a stillwater or introducing groundbait into a river swim, Meatamix offers an alternative to conventional breadcrumb and fishmeal mixtures.
A traditional idea brought back for today’s anglers.
Why Choose Gold Medal Meatamix?

Which Fish Can You Target with Meatamix?
The meat-based formulation makes Meatamix an interesting option for several coarse fish species.
- Carp: Particularly when fishing close to the margins or using meat-based hook baits.
- Chub: A useful option for anglers experimenting with meat-based groundbait on rivers.
- Perch: Can be tried when targeting perch in mixed-species waters.
- Barbel: Suitable for river anglers using protein-rich baits.
- Mixed coarse fish: Can be incorporated into a variety of feeding approaches.
How to Prepare Meatamix
- Place the dry groundbait in a mixing bowl: Start with the amount required for your session.
- Add water slowly: Introduce small quantities while mixing thoroughly.
- Adjust the consistency: Continue until the mixture binds firmly enough for your chosen feeding method.
- Prepare for feeding: Form suitable-sized balls for introducing by hand, pole cup or catapult.
- For feeder fishing: Adjust the moisture content so the mixture holds during casting and releases when submerged.
- Choose a suitable hook bait: Meatamix Special Paste can be used alongside the groundbait.
CHAMPION’S TIP: When fishing close to the margins, accurate feeding can be particularly important. Introduce your Meatamix into a defined area and experiment with the amount you feed according to the response of the fish.
Try It with Meatamix Special Paste
One of the recommended ways to fish Meatamix is alongside Meatamix Special Paste on the hook.
The groundbait can be introduced into your chosen swim while the paste is presented as the hook bait.
This gives anglers the opportunity to use a matching meat-based feeding and hook bait approach.
It’s particularly worth experimenting with when targeting carp in the margins or chub and barbel on rivers.
Suitable for Several Fishing Methods
- Margin fishing: Introduce groundbait close to the bank where larger fish may patrol.
- Pole fishing: Use a pole cup to deliver accurately measured amounts.
- Feeder fishing: Prepare the groundbait for use in a suitable feeder.
- River fishing: Adjust the consistency and feeding rate according to the current.
- Stillwater fishing: Suitable for lakes, ponds and commercial fisheries.
As with all groundbaits, adjust your feeding approach according to the venue, conditions and species you’re targeting.
