now i havent been here for a long time,so here goes...........
just recently i have been turning my attentions back to home made boilies weather its down to the credit crunch or weather its down to trying my own baits its a bit of both,as i keep lots of flavours and addatives in the one cubard in the kitchen thats mine and not the wifes,i thought it was time to clutter her sides with mixing bowls and smelly tubs and get back into carp mode as the new season isnt far away.
now i could rattle on for ages about why fresh baits are better than shelf life but to be honnest i have cought some nice catches on tailor made baits (shelf life),but over the time i have been away i have been using pro fruit boilies from premier baits,wich contain my own addatives and extras picked from the site,and to be honest i have had better fish with them ,draw back being expense that i could do without at the moment but i suppose that its not just me feeling the pinch!so i have been messing around the kitchen and playing around with a few ideas that i have had in the back of my mind and note book but havent done ,and what i ended up with was a great bait,and one that is simple and if your willing to put some time in you may be supprised.
now im not saying my mix is cheap but just sum it up........
10kg from premier baits.....around £80 depending on the base mix and addatives thats the full price deliverd,10 KILO BEING MINIMUM ORDER!
my mix minus time preping around £25/£30.
you may be able to make cheeper depending on what you use and what amount you need,me i favour prebaiting so need quite a bit.
right before i start with my mix i am going to say each and everyone of you will have pros and cons about your own mixes but this is one of my mixes that i dared to try and it has worked !!!!
MY MIX........
half a bag of richworth 50/50 base mix(left from a method mix i have been playing with)
2 kilo of sunflower seeds
4 kilo of peanuts(not salted or roasted but plane from a local pet shop as bird feed)
salmon oil
and if you want some bait dye powder?
and last but not least eggs.
now the bit that gets you in trouble with the wife(it did for me).......get out the blender...
crush up the sun flower seeds,then the peanuts...takes time but your left with a base mix you can play with
mix both crushed seeds and peanuts together adding the 50/50.next step crack your eggs into a bowl,how meany depends on how much bait your wanting to make ,add the salmon oil again depending how much bait your making but be warned dont go mad you dont need lots,bait dye if your using some but i dont as its a great bait natural.
