You can make homemade boilies to beat readymade baits with guidance and a bit of creative thought to form boilies and paste or dough baits ahead of their time! The most traditional way of creating boilies involves the use of powders mixed with liquid to create a dough which is attractive and stimulatory to carp!
Boilie base mixtures and liquids can be as simple or complex and sophisticated but should be as potent as possible! This is an insightful guide into the world of beating ready made baits using homemade baits following an intensive 7 year study of this vital subject!
The liquid part of your bait can be literally anything that stimulates and attracts carp including amino acid complex, flavours, sweeteners and enhancers and traditionally you would include liquid eggs too for example 6 eggs to a kilogram of base mix powders. Your base mix powders could be simply 2 ingredients such as calcium caseinate and crushed seed bird food or be much more complex, but ultimately you must ensure this is as bio-actively potent as possible - I include CC Moore Cyprivit vitamin supplement for instance.
Potency is the aspect of your bait substances which ultimately attracts carp and triggers the most intensive feeding response possible! Your liquid and powder mixes are mixed together to form a dough from which any kind of shaped baits can be formed.
Boilies are dough or paste baits boiled for less or more than a minute and the boiling coagulates globular proteins in the egg and bait ingredients etc forming firmer more resilient baits that last longer than paste against pest species. Originally boiling paste to make boilies meant advantages over paste against pest species plus increasing effective free baiting range and longevity when pre-baiting too!
Truly attractive boilies attract the attentions of pest species whether they are hard or soft or boiled or are dough paste baits by the profile they are composed of. There are great benefits to attracting pest species whichever bait format you use because they attract attention to your baits and create a beneficial competitive feeding scenario that produces more hooked fish!
Usually anglers think that having a resilient boilie is best but after years of testing in many situations I concluded that the best results come on baits which only last a few hours intact which actively break down! Boilies which last 24 hours or longer are actually less effective in most situations because the principle soluble and water reactive substances which stimulate and attract have already been lost!
Winter and cold water boilies must by definition be very soluble in order to react with water to form a concentration gradient for fish to home in on and this is one aspect of homemade bait making we can seriously exploit in beating readymade baits at any time of year! Many anglers add a flavour or flavours to their baits often for their own confidence, but a well designed bait requires zero flavour as it ionizes water so supremely effectively anyway, however flavours and their individual components have an important place especially in pre-conditioning fish to hook baits, but see Baitbigfish or my biography for more information!
