I did a Boosting Baits article a while ago, and this is another way of producing naturally high-attract baits. But these baits will keep the attraction for longer. It’s not a new method, but maybe a forgotten one. It involves using health food supplement capsules.
Make your bait in the usual way. For this one, I’m not using any attractors other than a glug of salmon oil, though this is more to make the bait easier to roll.
Roll the boilies around the capsule you are using. Here I’m using Cod Liver Oil, but the Garlic ones are also a decent bet. I save the left over mix for wrapping around the bait
I boil them for a shorter time than is usual to make sure the casing of the capsule doesn’t break – it shouldn’t as they shouldn’t get too wet, but I’d rather err on the side of caution
Because the baits are a bit softer on the inside, I let them air dry a bit longer to harden them.
Finished rig – once the bait is pierced, if you leave it hanging for a while you will start to see the oil seeping out
It’s a good method if you are leaving baits out for longer periods as even soaked baits will shed most of their attraction. This will keep the attraction pumping out over a longer term.
