Depends how often you fish but making enough boilies for regular carp fishing for example takes up a lot of spare time.

You need to weigh up the monetary cost of ready-mades vs the savings and time spent making your own.

Nice to catch on your own bait though!

Dave's article.

Made my own boilies for about 3 years back in the early 90s'.It does take a lot of time and effort and is quite rewarding.However,I don't think I'll ever go back to it.Much more convenient buying readymades.

everyone should learn how to make boilies as a part of your learning curve. once you have a reasonable knowledge of boilie making you realise that you can make much better than you can buy for around 2 squid a kilo. it is only time that stops a lot of people making their own boilies.

there is also THIS. have a look maybe you will find something interesting

I have heard bad things about quality baits over the years so proceed in that direction with caution until you know otherwise./forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

ccmoore gets my vote even though they are not so cheap anymore

he might've learnt a lot about bait from the people he bought it from, but his fish handling skills suck Roto - you heard about the 40.......?

you can catch fish on anything..... but whether you'll do it consistently is another thing......

i hasten to add it was on a proven big fish catcher! my own bait after a good few years of cockups and lots of research. when you catch on something you invent its a big buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

before you all start it's the only pic i have on my com at the moment!

Stunning fish Roto.

I caught my Pb on homemades,however wont be rolling anymore though.

Three reasons, time,mess and the stink in the house which my wife quite rightly objects too.

Also agree with your crap boilie comment....if your going to make your own bait the least you can do is include some decent food/nutrients in it. In human terms it would be like being given a nice homemade pasty with all the filling taken out.

Cheap quality bait...try Destinybaits. Brilliant friendly service. Paul will send out samples too.

But what about cost? I certainly can't afford to buy expensive baits? Let alone get someone to make them for me?

I priced my boilies up, works out at approx £1.70 per kilo....

the ingredients for my last lot of boilies cost me around £3 a kilo. 27 ingredients. better than 99% of what you can buy!once you understand your bait you can get companies to give your boilies that personal tweak and actually understand what you are doing!
