Use a 10mm rubber bead instead, the fish won't know.

Just tie them on like you would a pop up.
Or if you are worried, mesh up in some womens tights and put a baiting needles through them, wouldn't matter if they split, the mesh prevents you being bait less and blanking.

If they are splitting when defrosted and frozen, id be more concerned about them staying on once out in the water.
My suggestions off the top of my head - buy some hard hookers (i think they do a small dumbell from memory) or wrap the baits in some tights and then use a baiting needle. Also worth trying the ultra fine splicing needles if you have any

Why do you need to drill them? Just use a good sharp baiting needle

Hi
I’ve bought some 12mm Sticky Manilla freezer boilies for use as hookbait and freebies for an up coming session but whatever I try I can’t drill the boilies without them splitting.
I’ve tried straight from the freezer, defrosted, air drying for a couple of days, rehydrating in glug and water and different sized drills (from 0.7mm to 2mm) but they always split.
Am I doing anything wrong? Can I try anything else or just use the 10mm as freebies and get some bigger for hook bait?
