I have seen a lot of different mixes and have thought and tried many myself. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on when a mix gets to complicated. I tend to add more of the different products when I am going out and not sure what setting I will be in so I have all the bases covered, and now I am thinking it is not the best idea. Just curious more than anything what others think. Scott ---

Mostly personal preference. I’m of a “simple” mind (and no comments from the peanut gallery on that!). Like the “grab and go” type things like Ammunition, although I often add a shot of Shine and/or IFM depending on situation. If I recall Those-Who-Know have indicated that the best results seem to come from _either_ a very simple combo, or a more complex “symphonic” combo. Sort of one extreme or the other. Go with works for you. You can start simple and easy to get a hang of it, then add mix and match if you so desire later after you understand what the individual elements do. My opinion. ---

When they stop working or getting results its too big… Otherwise things to consider is how much its costing you, and if a smaller mix may be more economical, particular if its a mix you want to use regularly… And, also, if the pheros are not long lasting (ie, alpha/betanol) then reapplying alot is also an inconvinience… ---

Plus: Less is often more. and do you really want to have to go through the hassle of applying some complex mix everytime? For short term maybe it’s okay, but I sure don’t want to have to spend hours primping and tweaking every time. Granted if you fine a working combo you can often make up pre-mixed batches for quick applications. But think of the cost/benefit ratios… Just some thoughts ---

Some of the MX series are pretty complex all by them selves, if its complexity you are after, you may want to look into those. ---

Thanks for the great comments. Yeah I am leaning towards simpler mixes now. The big ones seem to get complicated and did not see the benefit that outwayed the work. Thanks again Scott
