Boilie

Boilie

First formulated in the 1970s, Boilies are now one of the most established carp baits, available in a huge range of colours and flavours. Carp anglers are willing to spend lots on boilies in hope that it will put a carp on the bank which is of a substantial size. The most common tactic for presenting a boilie is the use a hair rig which allows the boilie to sit off the hook making the chance of catching a higher possibility.

Boilies are boiled paste baits, usually combinations of fishmeals, milk proteins, bird foods, semolina and soya flour, which are mixed with eggs as a binding agent and then boiled to form hardish round baits which will last in the water. Additional flavourings and attractors are also usually included in the mix. The round shape allows the baits to be catapulted accurately when fishing at range.

While many carp anglers still make their own boilies, it is more common nowadays to buy ready-made, shelf-life or frozen baits. There are numerous companies producing ready made baits.
