i would like to make my own boilies as i find ready made ones to expensive!

i found a method for making them using 6 eggs! i have a few qestions, any help would be appreciated!

how much liquid attractent would i need to use for A 6 egg mixture?

do you use the whole egg or just the egg white or yolk?

once cooked should i place into the airing cupord, or freezer or freezer for a few hours etc. can they be removed and kept in cupboard untill use?

and most importantly what sort of stuff could i use as the base mix, groundbait or breadcrumb etc?

like i said any help would be great!

How about buying a good quality bait, but only use it as the hook bait, and then use a particle bait for the feed?

This would allow you to have plenty of hookers at a low price, and the feed element is easy to put together and cheap as well. Try a packet of frozen Tutti for the hookers and how about Hemp, Corn and Halibut Pells for the feed?

Forget about the six egg mix thing, cos life is too short.

Hemp about ?13 for 20 kilo
Pigeon conditioner about the smae price

I mix these in equall parts can usually be bought in smaller weights also from your local feed merchant.

To prepare soak for 8 hours boil for 20min to 30 min till husk of hemp splits. save the water for adding to groundbait or for re-hydrating boillies.
