Colouring boilies

[Teo]

Hi,

i was wandering about coloring my boilies with food coloring, just the standard shop bought stuff. 

Would this work, or would itchange the mix's taste. I am using mainline 50/50 base mix with maple ade.

 

Thanks Teo.

Turmuric should work although it will probably stain everything wear an apron

They work I just don’t think the liquid versions are as bright which isn’t such a bad thing 

would just need to play with the levels to get it how you want

just make them au natural and if you want to add a splash of colour just top your hook bait with some pop up corn which also serves to balance your bait out.

I do use standard shop bought liquid food colourings, and have done for over 20 years.

The better ones are those used in sweet and cake making, the taste is palatable.

As the food colour is liquid, they tend to be soluble, so gradually wash out, although red and yellow wash out faster than blue or green.

 

You will also find you need more colouring than you think you would, probably about half a 25ml bottle for 4-6 eggs, but play around with a few mixes until you get it right.
