Boilies: homemade or shop and why?

Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2008 11:24 am

do you make your own boilies? and if you do, is it because of the satisfaction of " they were mine" when you catch ??
OR do you buy shelf boilies because it's easier, and the convienience factor ??

A bit of a double edged question this. I have in the past made my own boilie's just as a experiment. They have caught , but in saying that the cost of making for instance 2kg of bait from scratch was to expensive for me .

On the other hand I have / get my boilie's made for me and at £4.50 it is alot easier.

There is a couple of lads that make them between them at the lake I am in and they can make 2kg for £3.25. So a good question AC which way do you go.

Cost versus convienence???

now there's a quetion carp-g, homemade if I've the time (blow the cost) and convieniently shelf life if in a hurry, but, in saying that you have stated that you buy from which is very reasonable price wise, I too have done the same, and found them to of caught well.
but that takes away the pleasure of them being your own, I suppose to be honest its up to each individual, Laughing

but thought i'd ask the question .... Wink

I have enjoyed making my own and still do but on a short session I would buy 1kg as apposed to making 2kg. Does that make sense.

The thought of a home made bait to my spec. instead of buying a bait made by other manufacture and being labbeled the best bait annoys me . They are all made no doubt by one company and labelled by others Evil or Very Mad

I think AC nobody questions it. In any other buisness it would be called a monopoly and that can't be tolerated so why should this. ( Allegilally ) Laughing

LOL

As long as the bait is going off the shelf and out of the outlets why would they!
