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!
The dry powder and liquid mixtures you create to form dough and paste and boilies can be very simple, or as complex as you like but must be as potent as you can create them! This bait article is just a snippet from a 7 year study on how to make homemade baits of many formats that defeat top readymade carp baits!
Your liquid mixture can be as simple as liquid whole egg plus other liquids such as flavours and liquid foods and sweetener. The powder part of your bait can be a ready made base mix or a special homemade mixture of your own design but should be made as unique and as potent as possible!
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.
The name boilies is a word summing up the fact that these are bait baits formed by boiling of dough or paste baits to make them firmer or more resilient and longer lasting. Originally paste or dough baits were made using water or other liquids and then it was discovered that including eggs made paste last longer as egg is not very soluble and then of course the idea of boiling egg baits created more resilient baits.
The very best carp baits will attract fish of multiple species even if boiled because their components are so potent and many fish are sensitive to substances that carp are attracted to and stimulated into feeding strongly by. Part of the purpose for making boilies was to enable baits to withstand attentions of pest species such as roach, and also enable free bait to be introduced at range, but attracting pest species is actually highly beneficial and creates competition that leads to more bites and hooked carp!
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!
