framey Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 50% semolina 50% soya flour a couple of mm flavour that’s probably the most simple version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baits direct sell them by the bucket 10kg. Then you can customise. I rolled Activ 8 and added garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Many bait companies make decent base mixes, often the same as their ready made freezer or shelf life boilies, any one will work if you put it in the right place, where the fish feed. As much as a simple mix of semolina and soya flour works, usually only for a limited time. Its attraction is often only from the flavour or liquids used. The advantage of making your own from a bait company mix, is you can often improve it. Grange CSL, Active8 were good base mixes, as was Trigga, BFM, even Enervite, but they can be made better.

Carpbell_ll Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Don't forget Haiths they do a few base mixes that a lot of makers use add their own bits and bobs, if i was going to make my own Haiths would be my main port of call.
