How to make boilies: Get top quality carp bait from ready made base mix

Step by step boilie making guide and recipe to make your own carp bait with Blue Oyster base mix. Fishing with my homemade boilies has given great results: www.frenchcarpandcats.com/blog...
This video shows in great detail my boilie making process. I've been making my own carp bait since the beginning of the year. In March, I tested it out properly at Beausoleil. After pre-baiting for a week with 5kg of 22mm baits, I got a new PB of 48lbs 4 oz and followed that with a 43lb mirror to give me my first ever brace of 40's. The hook baits were 22mm dumbbells that were air dried for longer and boosted by adding a few drops of liquid every few days. I've also achieved my goal of catching a river carp and again after pre-baiting with 3kg, took a 24lb 12oz mirror carp from the river Mayenne.

2020 Note: This video shows you how to make boilies from a ready made base mix, not totally from scratch. I used the Blue Oyster mix for a few years, now I use a different mix that has more nutritional qualities for my carp but I essentially use the same method to make the boilies. I don't mix the ingredients by hand anymore though, I've bought a second hand Hobart mixer and that's made the mixing a lot easier!

what is a good all round size boilie? i fish on a lake that mostly has 10lb to 20lb only a few 25+ carp but want to catch bigger in the future but i don't fancy buying many different size boilie rolling tables . thanks

[@gazzabowers1184]

Hi I've made my own boillies over the years, to make the boillie a bit firmer so you can drill it for corking, would I firm the boillie slightly by boiling it longer ? or air dry it longer ? Hopefully that makes sense.. KR Gaz

[@richardpeterson3753]

Be nice to have a setup like that.bit above my budget though

[@assassin_curtt2360]

Hi there how much is the base mix and liquid roughly and can you freeze these and if so when you can then out the freezer and they are not frozen anymore will they still have a string sent to them
