That’s a good point. When I search for boilie making I don’t want to go through the process of ordering powders, waiting for them to arrive, etc. I’m in the USA though, so it’s harder for me to get standard mixes!
So relaxing to look at this video. Unfortunately I think fishing now days, especially carp fishing got so technical and complicated with baits, rigs, gear etc. that I'm having the impression that is not fishing anymore. So to do all this you either must work for Mainline or other or you must be unemployed 🤣
To be perfectly honest, this seemed more like an ad for mainline than a tutorial on how to make boilies. Like other people have also said already, what even is the point of making them yourself if practically all ingredients you use are pre fabricated mainline ingredients? Why wouldn't we just buy premade mainline boilies then..?
Hi Shay, you can use both throughout the year, it's the quantities that may change as in you may use just a few boilies or a small bag of pellets in winter when the fish can be less active and less hungry. Thats providing when it comes to the pellets they don't have too high a fat/oil content - our Response Pellets are perfect!
Hello Mainline, once made and dried for 24 hours, do they need to be kept frozen till use or can you... say for example leave in a pot/glug pot in your bag to use over a month or two etc. cheers all the best
If you air dry some for hookbaits, so dry for a little longer say a few days, then glug with the Hookbait Enhancement system, then yes that should be okay - otherwise its best to store frozen.
Get a nutribullet and mix flesh (like liver) with oils, liquids and egg powder (use powder egg because your solution will be more dense therefore ml for ml it has more nutrition and attractions) the egg also acts as an emulsify. Then buy your self some fish meal like prov 66, goat powder milk (cheaper and gram for gram has more protein than whey or casein) then maybe peanut flour (use ingredients that are highly dense in nutrients so peanuts over tiger nuts because gram for gram have more nutrients) and oat flour. From the powders Fish meal = fats and protein Milk powder = protein and fat Peanuts = fats and protein Oat flour = carbs and fats All have different levels of essential and non essential amino acids plus minerals and vitamins Mix liquids with powders and not only is this cheaper but it’s the best way to make a dense nutritional bait with everything a carp will want because they are getting everything from one food source and a lot in a little amount. Also it’s better to bake than to boil as boiling weakens the attraction and tends to destroy a lot of nutrients compared to baking at a moderate temperature for longer. Hope this helps lads. Tight lines
Going to give your method a try! Can I ask what oils & and attractant did you use? Also is there a ratio for each ingredient? Never made boilies so trying things out. Thanks 😊
Luke Haken i like to use a mixture of cod liver oil, salmon oil, belachan liquid and betain liquid and i add in whole egg powder to help combine the liquids then il add beefs liver (as much as I can to increase the nutritional value) aswell as sugar, rock salt and some concentrated flavours like squid ade and a fishy concentrate.
Apart from the concentrates I used ALOT of the other stuff oils n liquids so the overall nutritional value far exceeded everything else !!! Per kilo I have made boilies with calorie counts ranging from 1000-7000 kcals per kilo
Also when I added to a spomb mix because of the high amounts of liquids and oils they continuously released attractiveness goodies especially when used in a ridgemonky boilie chopper/crusher crushed boilies are brilliant and so under used!
Hi, it's slightly cheaper to roll your own Freezer Baits like the Cell. If you're looking to roll something similar so say our Response Ready Made boilies we'd suggest using our 50/50 High Leakage Base Mix and your choice of flavours. Although they will still need to be stored in a freezer prior to use.
I never buy readymades in freezer form. The shops could have had them for months and months and even longer. More fun and pleasure rolling your own, and knowing how fresh they are. One pointer, freshly rolled paste should be rolled, straight away. Do not freeze it as it will be a bugger to roll once frozen. Recently, i rolled 4 batches of an 8 egg mix of essential cell and froze it for a later date. Now i have, around 5k of essential cell crumb. At least it won't go to waste as i love boilie crumb. Tight lines.
I don’t want be a pain lads but why would we make them ourselves when it’s exactly the same as the ones you roll? Or is it just for the experience? Last time I tried was a fucking right mess 😂
Little cheaper and some satisfaction of catching on bait your've rolled - generally speaking, then yep its easy to buy rolled and saves you a mess (and stinking out the kitchen).
Hi, as John says they are fresh baits with 'active' ingredients designed to react in water - these elements of the bait need to remain stable until use. So need to be frozen or air-dried.
It is much easier to buy your boilies ready rolled, but there is a saving here plus there is a satisfaction in catching carp on bait you've rolled yourself.
Sounds like the paste is too dry - when you build the paste you want to get to a point where the paste is still wet to the touch but doesn't stick to your hand. Also, keep your paste in a plastic bag before or while rolling so it doesn't dry out before going on the table.
Hi, thank you very much for this excellent instructional video. One question I have is, regarding the oil, does it have to be olive oil or would say sunflower oil or vegetable oil be ok to use?
@@davidryley4162 Yes it would but would also add some flavour to the mix which is okay if desired - the oil is really just to lubricate the table to help roll the baits.
You know the saying regarding, being limited by your imagination. My personal favorite is mainline Tiger nut flavour or even scopex. Around 2ml to 4 eggs has been productive.
Great demonstration from Billy Mitchell there!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pre bag stuff takes the fun out of making your own bait! Might as well just buy them if you're going down that route
I was just about to write the same you did, so i dont have to, tight lines👍🎣😉
It's not that much cheaper either tbf
That’s a good point. When I search for boilie making I don’t want to go through the process of ordering powders, waiting for them to arrive, etc. I’m in the USA though, so it’s harder for me to get standard mixes!
Some syndicates don't allow shelf life baits 😔 if you're fishing a lot this is cheaper alternative to buying freezer baits in bulk
I mist say. I have seen many demonstrations. But, i believe this to be the best yet. A thorough step by step guide.
Well done mate
So relaxing to look at this video. Unfortunately I think fishing now days, especially carp fishing got so technical and complicated with baits, rigs, gear etc. that I'm having the impression that is not fishing anymore. So to do all this you either must work for Mainline or other or you must be unemployed 🤣
All I use is corn from a can here in the USA. Hair rigs don't seem to make a difference where I fish

Like other people have also said already, what even is the point of making them yourself if practically all ingredients you use are pre fabricated mainline ingredients? Why wouldn't we just buy premade mainline boilies then..?
Great video I currently make a bait called (cell hybrid) out of cell base mix and the hybrid liquid it seems to be doing trick !
Great, now I need a bait bazooka.
Great video thankyou
Amazing and helpful video
Glad you found it helpful!
If you buy 1k of normal Mainline Baits it will cost you les then buying a fking base mix and a activator
If my table is 18 mm I use an 18mm nozzle is that correct. Just in the process of ordering everything after watching your helpful video
Yes that right - we believe that Gardner produce a nozzle set for their gun that covers a large range of sizes.
What's the best time of year to use boilies and what's the best time of year to use pellets
Hi Shay, you can use both throughout the year, it's the quantities that may change as in you may use just a few boilies or a small bag of pellets in winter when the fish can be less active and less hungry. Thats providing when it comes to the pellets they don't have too high a fat/oil content - our Response Pellets are perfect!
Is this going to yield a considerable amounts more boillies than if I was to spend the same money on bags of ready mades?
14:39 that's a big boilie 😅
Hello Mainline, once made and dried for 24 hours, do they need to be kept frozen till use or can you... say for example leave in a pot/glug pot in your bag to use over a month or two etc. cheers all the best

you are the best thks !!!
Can’t you use any powder then for example Manila powder any advice would be amazing?
I think a little dash of red dye would make a nice burgundy ball of goodness
What would you add to make shelf life type boilie?
Boilie preservative
Hello sir, is this rolling performance available for sale on Amazon or eBay, kindly download the purchase link. Greetings
Hi, this is the rolling table we used: gardnertackle.co.uk/carp-and-specialist-products/bait-making/tables/
Hi is the 50/50 base mix the same as high impact ready made boilies cheers
how much weight was there at the end?
is it worth it in the saving?

From the powders
Fish meal = fats and protein
Milk powder = protein and fat
Peanuts = fats and protein
Oat flour = carbs and fats
All have different levels of essential and non essential amino acids plus minerals and vitamins
Mix liquids with powders and not only is this cheaper but it’s the best way to make a dense nutritional bait with everything a carp will want because they are getting everything from one food source and a lot in a little amount.

Hello, can i just add Mainline Activ-Ades
In my boilie mix. Thank you.
sorry, what is the name of the tool for baiting it round? thank you
Thats a Gardener Tackle rolling table.
Can you make a batch the night before and leave air dried ready for following days fishing or do you need to freeze?
Yes you can do that, even a few days before if you keep the baits air-drying.
Thanks 👍🏻
my question is : is it cheaper to buy ready made boilies or roll them on your own with the base mix and the liquids and activatours?
Hi, it's slightly cheaper to roll your own Freezer Baits like the Cell.

MainlinebaitsTV okay thanks
after ive used the 1 kg mix will i get 1kg of boilies out of that or more
You'll get more - around 1.4 kg of boilies.
How do you make sinking freezer boilies
Can i use activ 8 activator or active maple 8 activator with thr essential cell base mix ??
No it will explode
@@thecandix3131 its not c4 he asked about😂
Max Nonn lol that’s basically how hybrid came about.
Cell and activ 8
Buy buying all these ready made mixes arnt you just buying the same as you can already buy in boilie form ?
Yes
I never buy readymades in freezer form.
The shops could have had them for months and months and even longer.
More fun and pleasure rolling your own, and knowing how fresh they are.

@@davidryley4162 rolling from the same ingredients are boring
How many 15mm boilies can be made out of a 1kg bag of bait mix on average?
Around about 1100 grams Mikey so around 10-15 percent more than the weight of the dry mix.
Hi
Where can i get that ball rolling thing ? And how you call that ?
Hi thats called a Rolling Table and is made by Gardner Tackle - if you visit their website you should find a link to their stockist.
Mainline Baits Carp Fishing TV thank you very much
How long do you dry them for before freezing them
The boilies are simply air-dried before freezing.
I am having an issue with myboilies after dried out they are still soft
I live in Poland and mainline baits are too much expensive here.
I live in england and they far too expensive here too £12.00 a kilo.
for Germany 12€ also too much expensive, i buy Boilies for 6 € a Kilo and the carps love my Boilies
what boilie flavour is the best all rounder?
Tricky question, there are so many - but Cell is well proven and very reliable!
@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV thanks, any special boilies for autumn? thanks
@@azaz... Again you have a good choice, food source boilies such as our Freezer Baits and High Impact boilies would be a good choice.
I don’t want be a pain lads but why would we make them ourselves when it’s exactly the same as the ones you roll? Or is it just for the experience? Last time I tried was a fucking right mess 😂

It’s ridiculous how hard carp stuff is to come by in the states
can I add a colouring dye to alter the appearance? yellow, pink
Yes you can, although the Dedicated Base Mixes are already quite strongly coloured due to their ingredients.
wy in yhe freezer cant i do them in a bag and then in a buckey like my others
Hi, as John says they are fresh baits with 'active' ingredients designed to react in water - these elements of the bait need to remain stable until use. So need to be frozen or air-dried.
where can I get a boilie gun like that from? thanks.
Hi, thats the Gardner Deluxe Bait Gun - available from any good tackle shop.
Ebay cheap
Rumour has it the paste is still sticky to this day
Is it really worth all time and effort and do you even save that much money to see a difference,anyone on here who does it?
It is much easier to buy your boilies ready rolled, but there is a saving here plus there is a satisfaction in catching carp on bait you've rolled yourself.
What can you do if your is cracking
Sounds like the paste is too dry - when you build the paste you want to get to a point where the paste is still wet to the touch but doesn't stick to your hand. Also, keep your paste in a plastic bag before or while rolling so it doesn't dry out before going on the table.
where can i find this shape for the balls? 19:20
The rolling table comes from Gardner Tackle gardnertackle.co.uk/carp-and-specialist-products/bait-making/tables/
@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV thank you so much!
Am I missing something here.... one of the main reasons people choose to make thire own is to save money, this looks to be more expensive
Too bad we can't get the roller here in the USA
This would be amazing if it was cheaper guys its just as expensive amd to make one kilo to start with is actualy far more expensive
Hi, thank you very much for this excellent instructional video. One question I have is, regarding the oil, does it have to be olive oil or would say sunflower oil or vegetable oil be ok to use?
Any light oil should be okay as long as its unscented and unflavoured.
@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV
Would Good Hemp oil suffice
@@davidryley4162 Yes it would but would also add some flavour to the mix which is okay if desired - the oil is really just to lubricate the table to help roll the baits.
Can u add dyes to this and flavours
Yes you can customise this although we would recommend keeping to the mix guidelines.
You know the saying regarding, being limited by your imagination.
My personal favorite is mainline Tiger nut flavour or even scopex.
Around 2ml to 4 eggs has been productive.
do carp like garlic?
Hi, as a flavour, yes they can do.
I'll just buy a bag of boilies, don't have time for this and by the time you have bought the ingredients there are no savings to be made lol
17:00
whqt are the difrents betwren al thosr names
