How To Make Homemade Carp Fishing Boilies For Big Fish For Winter Or Summer Fishing!

By Tim Richardson


You can make homemade boilies to beat readymade baits with guidance and a bit of creative thought to form boilies and paste or dough baits ahead of their time! The most traditional way of creating boilies involves the use of powders mixed with liquid to create a dough which is attractive and stimulatory to carp!

These mixtures can be as simple or complex and sophisticated but should be as potent as possible! This is an insightful guide into the world of beating ready made baits using homemade baits following an intensive 7 year study of this vital subject!

Your bait liquid mix can be anything that stimulates feeding, including for example liquid foods, sweeteners, enhancers, flavours and more plus traditionally you would include liquid eggs in your mix at for example 6 eggs per kilogram of dry powder mixture. Your dry powder mix should be as potent as possible and personally I avoid any carbohydrates as these are low in true feed triggering substances; I choose the most potent substances possible including soluble protein additives!

The potency of your bait liquids and powders is absolutely critical and makes all the difference to success or failure in triggering feeding responses; it is a hidden aspect of bait many homemade bait makers do not focus upon enough but ultimately the amount of internal impacts your bait elements have upon fish the better your results will be! In a suitable container gradually mix your liquids mixture to your powders to form a dough that can be formed into individual baits of any shape or size desired, and the more unique and different to rolled baits they are the better your results will be!

Boilies are called by this name because they are dough baits which have been boiled to make it last longer in the water and be more resilient as bait. The old thinking used in originally creating boilies was that firmer more resilient baits which have been boiled would resist the attention of pest species other than carp and also enable free baiting at greater ranges plus make pre-baiting more effective over time.

The very best carp baits will attract fish of multiple species even if boiled because their components are so potent and many fish are sensitive to substances that carp are attracted to and stimulated into feeding strongly by. Part of the purpose for making boilies was to enable baits to withstand attentions of pest species such as roach, and also enable free bait to be introduced at range, but attracting pest species is actually highly beneficial and creates competition that leads to more bites and hooked carp!

Far too many anglers mistakenly think long lasting boilies are best but following years of trials I discovered the opposite is true and in fact in most cases the faster a boilie breaks down even in as little as 3 or 4 hours, then this is far more successful! Boilies that last 24 hours and are fished for that long are generally not anywhere as effective as baits that break down in 4 hours and this is very much due to the water reactive elements of a bait entering the water column far more effectively in short duration baits!

Boilies for winter and low temperatures must be very soluble and Robin Red which contains lots of soluble sugars makes baits more open and soluble which is part of the success of this particularly famous additive used in many boilies worldwide! Using more higher than recommended flavour levels in boilies actually benefits results by helping baits suck water in to release bait substances and in many cases actually numbing fish lip feeling to rigs which increases chances of hooking fish, but see Baitbigfish or my biography for more!
