- I this video I explain how I make boilies that can be stored in bags without freezing. We use a Damp Meter to check the amount of liquid in our finished boilies.
We have some comments saying that my maths are wrong which I disagree with.
I went straight on to British Aqua Feeds website and found they recommend 10-15ml per egg, well I used 2 eggs and extra liquids then used 31ml of preserve. Not sure how I am wrong but see the link to their website and read their recommendations of use for yourself.

After that I then went on CC Moore and found they are recommending 20-30% (I used 20%) of the liquid inclusion. they then give this example. E.g. If a mix requires 9 eggs, we recommend that 6-7 eggs are used and the other 2-3 eggs are replaced with liquid preservative. On this basis, as a guideline, we work on the basis that each medium egg usually provides 50ml of liquid; therefore a 9-egg mix would require 100-150ml of preservative. A bit confusing as I use large eggs which are 55-57ml but here is the link to check out yourselves.

And just for good measure see what AA Baits are recommending for their preserve.

I think bait making is a Science but far from an exact science and everyone will have their own methods, techniques and opinions but I'm sure most of it will not be able to be backed up with scientific facts. You go to your favourite swim put your bait in and catch a few next day you return and catch nothing but that's fishing especially Carp Fishing.
I'm just passing on my knowledge that I've picked up over many years of bait making and don't want to argue with people, if you think I'm doing it wrong please feel free to make your own video I will look forward to watching it.

Sorry but your maths is wrong. 20% of 126 is not 31.5! You're adding 25%, not 20%. 20% of 126 is 25.2.
I disagree I did a 2 large egg mix and used 31ml of preserve. Below was taken from the British Aqua Feeds Website they recommended 10-15 ml per egg so in my case on this mix 20-30ml but I always use the top end as I don’t want bait going off.
As I say in the video you can experiment with less preserve.
This Human food grade preservative is made to our exact recipe, one that will give a decent shelf life to ready made Boilies and Pop Ups. Simply use 10-15ml per egg and mix into solution. The important part of the process is to dry Boilies and Pop Ups well prior to use, usually a minimum of 48hrs, possibly longer in the winter due to extra moisture being in the air, the longer the baits are dried the less moisture will be prevalent to prevent mould growth.
*Note* you may reduce the amount of Liquid Preservative for short sessions when going abroad, simply drop the level to 7.5-10ml per egg and dry well for 2-3days avoiding contact with moisture.
Excellent video, very useful, and totally agree on the nozzle front!
I'm loving these videos just gone back to making my own baits and your right every mix acts different. I had no idea why sometimes itd roll sweet and round then others itd barrel out then other times itd just track up the rolling table and cause so much grief all with the same nozzle? thanks mate top man your making this much easier than anyone else to understand liked and subbed
Your maths is wrong, you need to divide your total amount of liquid by 100 to get 1%
126 ÷ 100 = 1.26
1.26 x 20 = 25.2
Personally I use 10ml per egg and never had a problem. So for your 2 egg mix I'd only use 20ml

I've started making my own hook baits but I don't use any preservative I just let them air dry for minum 3 days with regular turning does this mean they will go off and mouldy when sealed up?
Overtime I would of think so but will depend on ingredients. Removing moisture is a form of preserving. I would check them regularly. I have in the passed dried them until they were like marbles. Then re-hydrated them once I arrived at the lake but this was for week long trips. Re-hydration can take a while and is a subject on its own
@@BespokeBaits i have got preservative, how much would you recommend for a 1 egg mix, I did put 5ml in but they went far to hard 🤔😶
@@liamedwards_9624 if you do it by egg I have took this from the British Aqua Feeds website and they say 10-15ml per egg.
