You can make your own homemade carp fishing boilies that beat readymade baits with creative thought and key information about carp sensitivities, and making carp boilies and paste or dough baits is very much an art and refined skill. The traditional method of making boilies is to have two parts namely your liquid and your powdered boilie or paste base mixture.
These mixtures 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!
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.
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!
It must be made clear that boiling bait is not an absolute necessity and indeed steaming is far preferable, plus very potent homemade bait whether cooked or in paste form will still attract and stimulate pest species due to their potent elements! Personally I deliberately exploit the sensitivities of carp and other species to create maximum competitive intensive feeding possible and this has produced my most memorable multiple big fish catches using homemade baits against top readymade baits!
Most carp anglers think that a boilie is great because an egg sealed boilie will last all night, but in fact I discovered after extensive trials the opposite is true and that boilies which breakdown in just a few hours are far superior in very many situations! Boilies that last 24 hours or more if fished for 24 hours or even 8 hours are less effective than baits that break down in just 3 or 4 hours, because bait works by ionizing water and long lasting boilies by definition cannot do this optimally!
Boilies for winter must be the most easily broken down and most soluble as water is densest when cold and so dissolved bait substances are not as effectively dispersed to attract carp! Over-flavouring hook baits is a huge advantage in cold water conditions but in summer too when thick weed or silt are challenges and using betaine HCL is exceptional too, but see Baitbigfish or my biography for more!
