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!

The potency of your bait liquids and powders is absolutely critical and makes all the difference to success or failure in triggering feeding responses; it is a hidden aspect of bait many homemade bait makers do not focus upon enough but ultimately the amount of internal impacts your bait elements have upon fish the better your results will be! In a suitable container gradually mix your liquids mixture to your powders to form a dough that can be formed into individual baits of any shape or size desired, and the more unique and different to rolled baits they are the better your results will be!

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.

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!

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!
