Note: For the popups, make the dough layer as thin as possible. If too much dough is used, it will weigh down the cork and they won't float.

[@mump71]

Watching while boiling tiger nuts, peanuts, whole oats and cracked corn spod mix. Enjoyed having some company while doing it, thanks again.

[@JwG3359]

I like the drying example you gave here, I haven't been letting mine dry long enough and get tougher for better 'hang time' on the hair. The corks are something I'll be including w/my next batch as well, awesome. Thanks Tom!!

[@PortugalCarp]

Nice and simple recipe, well done Tom.

[@pastmasters9591]

Looking forward to some new carp videos man! I've watched all of your others at least 5 times 😂

[@OutsidewithTom]

Glad to have you as part of the community, thanks!

[@ne-phil]

Best of both worlds. Great carp bait and a snack! 😁

[@fishmaniachannel]

Simple n great 👍

[@SeanSunde]

Hey Tom, I used your hair rigs along with your tigers nuts caught around 8 carp with my daughter I also compared your hooks to the Amazon YOTO brand and yours seem to hold carp much better. Keep up the good work.

[@OutsidewithTom]

That's awesome to hear, thanks Sean!

[@PointLife1]

Awesome, thanks for breaking it all down. I have very little carp experience but am planning on targeting them this summer. I am definitely going to whip up a batch of these boilies. Thanks Again👍👍

[@OutsidewithTom]

Good luck!

[@johnnystephenson6908]

Awesome

[@Ian-dj2nj]

Good timing Tom, im making my second batch ever tomorrow! Good tips there.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Good luck!

[@bobloblaw9791]

Have you ever eaten one?, looks like they would be tasty. Finished watching, thanks for the answer.

[@davidgarcia9808]

Good video Tom , I like the idea you don't have to pack a lunch just bring more bait. Thanks

[@OutsidewithTom]

😁

[@thomaskass6668]

Great tutorial tom! Looks like your set for a while with that batch. Got out an fished a shallow lake with 13' max depth during the eclipse . The carp were going air Bourne almost like the spawn. And we're feeding heavy in 6' of warter. Got a week of 75 degree Temps coming next week and expect the bigger lakes to get going. Shouldn't be long for you now.

[@OutsidewithTom]

I hope you're right. I've been out a few times but no carp on the bank yet. Good luck out there!

[@troutheadadventures6521]

My lake, here in the PNW, is in the mid-50's, and the carp are on the move.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Good luck!

[@trudytwilite]

I tried many baits and boilie making. I've been less successful with boilies than tiger nuts, pop-ups, fake corn, frozen fruit, etc. I use the same basic pack bait that you do. (Just need to train the carp in my lake for boilies. I'm one of two fisherpersons that fish for them.) Your video with gummy candy amused me. I have some gummies drying out a bit on my desk. :) Another thing I'm trying is nuts - almonds, walnuts and brazil nuts. (I got a can of mixed nuts for Christmas.) I drilled them and I think they will stay on the hair well. Have you ever tried other nuts? I have a good feeling about them. My doctor wants me to eat almonds. I'd rather use them for bait. ;)

[@OutsidewithTom]

I made the boilies mainly to target Grass Carp and BM Buffalo in the river, a little experiment I'm trying. I think you'll catch carp on any/all of the things you mentioned, good luck out there!

[@johnrosas2606]

Never made boilies. This is a great tutorial video. Question: is it harmful for the carp to eat the cork? Thanks for your videos.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Nope, it's just a little piece of tree bark. Thanks for watching.

[@donjohnson9964]

GM Tom i made this receipt and cut up the cork like you did. Unfortunately none of the pop ups floated after i cooked them for 4 minutes. Any idea why they didn't float?

[@OutsidewithTom]

Too much dough weighing down the cork inside. Make the dough layer as thin as possible.

[@donjohnson9964]

Thank you

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@donjohnson9964 It appears I neglected to mention that detail in the video, sorry about that, Don.

[@donjohnson9964]

No problem i try again.

[@brian1204]

As much as you’ve been using just tiger nuts as your hookbaits, are you going to start using boilies instead?

[@OutsidewithTom]

I'm going to be experimenting with them a little more this year, we'll see how long that lasts.

[@brucezg]

@@OutsidewithTom I watched most of your videos, the tiger nuts were your 99% carp bait, hope we will see you use these boilies for new videos.
