Perhaps one of the most well-known and types of fishing for anglers in the UK is carp fishing. If this type of fishing interests you, then you still have to acquaint yourself with the most important thing in carp fishing – boilies.

Bait boilies are boiled paste fishing baits, usually mixtures of fishmeals, milk proteins, bird foods, semolina and soya flour, which are coupled with eggs as a binding agent and then boiled to form circular baits which will last in the water.

These carp baits made by Fred Wilton in the 1970s. Ever since that time, these boilies have been extensively used because they can last for extended periods of time in the water without the possibility of falling off the hook.

Boilies are available in a huge range of colours and flavours and different shapes and sizes, from tiny micro boilies to as large as 40 mm. They also come in a wide range of prices. If you are still not in the zone to spend some cash on these boilies, then you can try creating them yourself.

First, you have to make a paste by putting together 2 cups of any flavour of dry dog food inside a blender. You have to blend the dog food until it turns to powder. After such, you have to add 2 cups of soy flour, or semolina, rice or corn.

Now you\’d have to get 4 eggs and crack them all into a blender, adding a single teaspoon of crushed pineapple. You put all these together in a single bowl. In the bowl, you continue the mixing until the whole thing becomes a paste. Get a small portion of the paste and roll it between your hands to create a small ball. Do this until you are done with the whole paste.

Then you boil water in a pot and submerge the balls into the water and allow them to stay there for 2 minutes. You can now get the boilies and air dry them for two hours. You are now already done making the boilies and you can keep them in a jar for future carp fishing use.
