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 bait liquid mix can be anything that stimulates feeding, including for example liquid foods, sweeteners, enhancers, flavours and more plus traditionally you would include liquid eggs in your mix at for example 6 eggs per kilogram of dry powder mixture. Your dry powder mix should be as potent as possible and personally I avoid any carbohydrates as these are low in true feed triggering substances; I choose the most potent substances possible including soluble protein additives!
Potency is a measure of activity in terms of the amount required to produce an internal effect of given intensity within carp in this case, thus go for the highest potency ingredients, additives and liquids possible for maximum fish response; this is absolutely critical in creating homemade carp bait to beat readymade bait! To form baits mix dry powder mix to your liquids mix to form a stiff dough or paste which may be shaped into individual baits any size or shapes you desire!
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!
Far too many anglers mistakenly think long lasting boilies are best but following years of trials I discovered the opposite is true and in fact in most cases the faster a boilie breaks down even in as little as 3 or 4 hours, then this is far more successful! Boilies that last 24 hours and are fished for that long are generally not anywhere as effective as baits that break down in 4 hours and this is very much due to the water reactive elements of a bait entering the water column far more effectively in short duration baits!
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!
