Not a maker either so
Imo It’s knowing what is actually in the bait
not saying all fillers are bad but you can afford to put in better quality ingredients and come out the same as a shop bought boilie.
if I was only using 1 kilo a time i would want that 1 kilo to give me the best chance going rather than 10kilo of lesser quality
a well thought out £6 home produced boilie SHOULD be significantly better than a £6 shop bought boilie.
