Hi All ,
The beginning of the Week I had this Brainwave
The Lake I fish on has an high taste for Corn , But feeding it on the hook seem to get Bream and I'm looking just for the fat margin Carp , So I googled boilies or baits with corn ... Idea being that I make and present a Corn bait in the size of a Boilie to stop smaller mouths , I watched a youtube video on a corn ball and hence I began My magic bait adventure ,
It looked great before and straight after boiling but less than 24 Hours My bait had cracked on the drying towel and the little baits were solid , A great white couldnt have smashed it
The ingredients were these :
half a cup of grounded cornflakes ,
1 cup of corn flour ,
3 slices of bread put in blender ,
quarter cup of poppy seeds ,
1 tin of sweetcorn blended ,
quart cup of sugar ,
2 medium size eggs ,
added bread crumb , cornflakes , corn flour and poppy seeds to bowl , thoroughly mix , added mushed up blended sweetcorn , mix with fork , Add sugar , Mix with hands and leave to rest for 4 Hours ,
Get bowl , add eggs , 2 TSP of corn oil , Mix Together ,
After 4 Hours ... Add half the egg to dry Mix , knead and add the rest of the egg ,
This is where it went a bit wonky , after the first half egg ... the mix was still wet and I had to add an hand full of corn flour and some cornflakes ,
All I wanted was a really corny bait ... should I have added the dry to the eggs or are the dry measurements out in some way , This isnt My recipe ... its One I tried off youtube , all measurements are correct and I never missed anything out ,
Is there a cornier corn bait and is it easy to make ? I know I could go the " real " boilie way but I honestly get lost after 50 / 50 semolina / soya
P.s. I boiled for 1 Minute on cork ball and around 2 Minutes on boilies or when at least half were floating ,
