How To Make Homemade Carp Boilies For Winter And Summer Fishing Success!

By Tim Richardson


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 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.

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!

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!

Boilies for winter and low temperatures must be very soluble and Robin Red which contains lots of soluble sugars makes baits more open and soluble which is part of the success of this particularly famous additive used in many boilies worldwide! Using more higher than recommended flavour levels in boilies actually benefits results by helping baits suck water in to release bait substances and in many cases actually numbing fish lip feeling to rigs which increases chances of hooking fish, but see Baitbigfish or my biography for more!
