The the last piece of the mix came today came today, so whipped up my first bath

These are just the standard base mix and no extra liquids. But Im pleased how they turned out and how they smell already!

Here is a picture of them in all their glory



Next batch will add extra additives and flavours

Your not wrong Smurf.

I just added 15ml each of LO30 and Salmon Oil to 5 eggs.
Worked a treat.

BTW I found that when mixing up the dough it was best to get it so it was still a bit sticky and then leave it in a freezer bag for about 15 mins to settle, it then loses it's stickyness and is just right for the gun.

it's a great feeling when your own hand made baits catch fish

Was this just the original mix or have you added anything extra too it?

I had all the ingredients come today and was planning on making a mix this week.

Been looking at different Additives and was thinking of getting cc moore's Feedstim xp and marine amino compound to add to the mix. Should these help improve the boilies?

Finally got round to trying the bait out and had one of my best sessions ever, 12 fish, they couldn't get enough of it, cheers for that Smurf.

20mm it's 2 min.
This is the optimum that i found in order to be boiled all the way.

I don't have my old records here are work but 75 seconds for 14mm rings a bell so you would probably want to go a little further, say 90 seconds Which is halfway between the 2 times you mentioned

This is my first of hopefully many post,

I have always wanted to make my own boilies and this bm1 mix seems nice and easy to start off with.

Is the mix alown good enough, or does it benefit from extra attractors? If so is this where everyone makes their own personal choice to make the boilie their own, or is there a must add attractor that is better than the rest?

Smurf,
What do you recommend boiling times-wise with this mix and 16mm baits, I have now tried between 1min and 2min?

1min giving quite a soft bait and 2mins a much firmer finish that would withstand sticking out better. Just don't want to bludgeon all the goodness in there with over cooking.

The latest batch I made up with just LO30 liquid and Salmon Oil added.
