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 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!

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!

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!
