Hi Luffy welcome to the site. There are loads of threads about homeade bait already, have a good dig around im sure you will find some.

 

top tip if you add coconut or glug them in malibu you could call them Cell lol

Always a good starting point is to do some research on different base mixes find one you like (Fishmeal,Bird Food,Seafood etc) get used to using those, adding your own flavours,enhancers etc.

Then if you feel you really want to go down the route of making your own base mixes get ready for some real head banging and trial and error, very rewarding if you get everything right though

Thanks, ill give it a go cant do as bad as what im doing on the bank recently id rather not catch on my own bait than something ive payed a tenner for at least then I have an excuse

I'd love to get into this, but just don't have the time. Hoping that I can devote some energy to this in the future. Good luck with experiments and let us know how it goes!

I agree it's a mine field, there is some great info on here though. Don't have a great deal of experiance with what works and what doesn't, but I would suggest start with some ingredients you are confident with and go from there.

 

Oh yes updates would be great always good to hear how things work out!

[lufcraph]

Well done mate. Catching carp on a bait you have made yourself can give a great sense of achievement.

[lufcraph]

Thanks! n yeah it does. I had 6 carp on Monday between 8-19lb Ghostie and theyre a lot cheaper then the usual 10-12 quid a bag. I made them following what it said on the link below with a few changes so like one of the list of ingredients you posted
