Luvevolution Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 well guys. I made my first ever attempt at making boilies tonight. my ingredients were: 8 oz of Semolina 6 oz of Soy Flour 2 oz of powdered (crushed) white rice 4 eggs 1 pack of Raspberry Jello red food colour 1 healthy dash of Corn Syrup I let the kneeded mixture sit for 15 minutes, then rolled them into roughly 20mm balls and boiled for 2 minutes. then let them sit for an hour before putting in the freezer on a tray, so they don't freeze together. they turned out a dark shade of pink. I had a little bit left on my hands, so I tried it............not overly sweet, but sweet enough that I kinda like em. LOL. before I boiled them, they smelled very rasberry-like, but after boiling, not so much. not sure if this will be any good, but gonna give em a whirl anyway. so, I guess I'm looking for input and advice from you guys that have done this before. is this gonna be enough? or should I be doing something else that I've missed or overlooked? any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

steeler Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Those look really good. My first attempt, sucked badly. lol. Here's the ones i have made, i always like to have various ones on hand. Anyway, here's what mine look like: Yellow ones: Vanilla/Peach/cornmeal Dark Brown: Cinnamon (these are my favorite ones by far) Light Brown: Maple/Bran (these came out a bit too soft) Red: Fruit Punch (so kinda like a tutti frutti flavor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheffee Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 ive made a billion boilies and only have caught a couple fish on them. and after not catching them i say oh well, and dump the rest of them in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvevolution Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 hey Steeler. just wondered what ingredients you use to make the cinnamon boilies. I have the soy and the semolina, if that's in those too. just wondered what the additives are. thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkangel06 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Those boilies look great! Best part is if the carp dont like them you dont need to worry about lunch I have never caught a carp on boilies or bread balls though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheffee Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 you can also microwave some of the boilies to turn them into pop-ups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunder Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Good work on the boilies guys and thanks for starting this thread. I have made some with limited success. I caught mainly in the spring in places where I know the fish are stacked up. The ones that worked best for me were pineapple. I like making my own infused cow corn and rarely use boilies though. Definitely post some pics of your captures on your baits guys. There's no better feeling than catching on your own baits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steellee Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Does anybody use just plain old breadballs anymore? I used to use these often with really good sucess in some small ponds. We would just bring some fresh bread and roll in to balls in our fingers. They always seemed to work about equal to corn once we chummed to get them in the area. All the talk about carp on here this summer and I don't think I have heard them mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 i tried bread balls once this summer and didnt get anything...back to corn i went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvevolution Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 i tried bread balls once this summer and didnt get anything...back to corn i went. seems to me that they come off the rig too fast.......soften up in the water. unless of course, you hit a sweet spot and the fish will take it right away. good luck with that around here though. I think the fish know we're coming and leave. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammercarp Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Here's something I have picked up from reading about boilies. The guys that make their own and are successful in using them always make way more than they will use as a hook bait. They chum their swims ( the spots they will be fishing ) with plenty of the boilies they made. They use both whole and broken up boilies for this. Hope this helps.
