Homemade Carp Boilies With The Best Big Fish Bait Ingredients!

By Tim Richardson


Catching more big carp is much easier when you know some very stimulating details about bait components, how fish sense your baits, how to manipulate fish physiology to make fish want to eat our baits more and more! Many of the questions anglers ask about baits and fishing are pretty irrelevant compared to some of the most important which are so often over-looked because the angler is so conditioned to thinking like a commercially-manipulated angler instead of thinking like a fish which is far superior of course! When your thinking about baits choices and how to manipulate fish senses and behaviours in our favour against them begins with the fish themselves you have incredible potential power compared to anglers who merely follow the herd!

By beginning to making homemade baits by starting out by considering what carp are most sensitive to, this is far more likely to succeed than arbitrarily forming a list of ingredients you like the sound of or smell of personally! So many anglers just know the very basics about a carp and it is not surprising that relatively few anglers actually know why a bait or ingredient stimulates carp to take a bait into its mouth - and why some baits and ingredients are multiples of times more effective!

When speaking to many fellow anglers it is clear that the vast majority are dependant on expensive readymade boilies and pellets. When you are dependant upon readymade baits instead of producing your own, your bait budget is to a very large extent decided by the pricing of readymade baits. When anglers are dependant on readymade baits they are completely at the mercy of others to decide their bait modes of action and competitiveness over other baits, and cost; which is not necessarily an ideal situation to be in!

Everyone has different limits in terms of their fishing resources so why let someone else fix what you spend on bait by them deciding the cost of their readymade baits when making your own is much more economical and affordable and just as productive if not even more so?! It is very easy to make certain that your own potently productive baits cost less than readymade baits. You need to have the knowledge to make sure that your cheap baits are potent in certain ways that guarantee success, and again this comes from having the right sufficient fish and bait knowledge to ask the right questions to keep on making your own totally reliably consistently successful baits!

So what kind of mistakes do beginners in bait-making do that can be avoided? Personally I have found that well over 80 percent of my own homemade readymade baits catch fish right from the first cast on a range of waters, (this has been over a period of 31 years.) Some waters really do require more specially designed baits for various reasons including the need to out-compete other baits or to avoid using bait ingredients and substances used previously, perhaps in many readymade baits, that fish are now feed too cautiously on or will avoid completely due to fear of being hooked!

Bait-making beginners usually make the most common mistake of falling into the trap of thinking like an angler and relying on personal judgements and opinions about bait substances and flavours to formulate baits instead of starting off with the fish themselves (which is obviously where the true power is!) Avoid limiting your bait success by getting to know your fish very well indeed inside and out! By focussing on the fish in the first instance and not on bait substances you will be thinking like a carp and be able to get the edge over the majority who merely think like anglers.

Many very effective bait substances appear not to initiate a response from carp when applied to water on their own, but applied in combination with other substances very definitely have powerful effects in either many obvious or just as often much more hidden more subtle internal ways that work over a period of time after baits have been eaten! Many bait substances are not even used to trigger feeding or to attract fish directly but can make baits more noticeable to fish or more palatable or make them much more habit-forming! I laugh when anglers refer to their favourite flavours in terms of describing their baits because it is often baits that smell of nothing discernible to us humans that can be the most productive for big wary fish!

Carp can adapt all the time and sense new substances that are completely foreign to them and their environment and this is no surprise as this is how they have been able to evolve and exploit completely new potential food sources and monopolise them to supply their basic diet and vital energy needs in order to survive. Training carp to feed on your baits is just like training dogs using the rewards your baits offer that come in many forms in instant and more longer-lasting ways and these can be leveraged in creating more competitive baits with unique advantages over competing baits that my lack these benefits and rewards. Your choices of baits substances will directly impact upon carp hormones released when being sensed and eaten, and the behaviours resulting from these releases - so you can have incredible power over carp to make them feed frantically or in more leisurely and relaxed ways; but there is much more hidden power in making baits than even this!
