salokcinnodrog Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 A productive afternoon making bait, with a base mix that is available without visiting a tackle shop. Even better I picked it up at a bargain price of 45pence for the main base. Chapati flour, liver powder, mackerel and herring meal (animal feed store) and eggs dalej2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell3 Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Looks good have always thought that dried saltfish would work ground up dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framey Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Problem is too many think that if it doesn’t come from a fishing brand then it’s going to be stinky winky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work with liquidised fish. If you use it as it stands for a 50/50 or basic base mix you may need to add semolina.

I made these for barbel and chub when the river season reopens Carpbell3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made these for barbel and chub when the river season reopens Looks good I tried gram flour but even in small amounts it has a real strong flavour so I use a soy flour now for the base mix, I'm only using 100 grams of that the rest of the binding ingredients are clo and Nectar blend type mixes.

salokcinnodrog Posted April 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Made another batch this week using a mix of liquidised sheep's liver, tinned anchovies and tinned sardines in olive oil. Bit too much oil to roll on the table, but by hand it was OK. Actually just put a couple of kilos in the lake to get the fish accepting boilies, and fishing over the top. Of course I didn't do that last week either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalej2014 Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 I've found Raja store in Cavendish Street, Ipswich to be good for semolina, flours and other reasonably priced base mix ingredients. My first hand rolled boilies were ingredients from there (semolina, soy) and some fishmeal from Copdock Mill. I seem to remember catching on them too. Doesn't have to be carp taxed to work. salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
