So i am looking at making BM1, ive never made baits beofre and wondered whether this would be alright. do i need equivite as im on a budget?

30 lt94
15 maize protien
13 megablend
10 semolina
10 soya flour

Is there anything else i need to add to the mix? i am unsure on what else to add.

You don't have to have it.
But if you wanted to have a vitamin/mineral in its place that is cheaper.
You could substitute Equivite for Crunchy Kelp meal
( £3.00 for 1 kilo ) from CCMoore

How many boilies will i get from 6kg of BM1 basemix?

What is the flavoured essence to betaline ratio ?
Rule of thumb. 👍

In reply to Post #533
About 7.5-8kg finished bait! As for number of individual baits, that depends on what size you roll! You will get more 10mm baits than you will 15mm & less 18mm baits than 16mm.

My advise would be to stick to a proven recipe as in post 1 until you know what you're doing. Good luck.

First time poster resurrecting an old thread.

dabbled in bait making a few years back and had great success but a busy job make it hard to roll enough to sustain my needs.
I have time to get back on the rolling tables and I'm looking for a recommendation for a boilie sausage gun?
I own a gardner boilie gun but I tried to get a very stiff mix through it and stripped the threads on one of the bolts.

do the screwfix foil sealant guns to the same job? obviously have to cut the nozzle down to the required size.

thanks all

There's a cheapish electric caulk gun on eBay that a few people are raving about. Costs £90 which is far cheaper than similar styled guns by the big brands.
I've just ordered one, will let you know what it's like if you're interested.

If you go pneumatic then 5mix have always been great.

If you decide on a manual gun just get a heavy duty caulk/sealant gun from Screwfix/eBay or similar for around £15.
You'll find one that's pretty much identical the the Gardner Delux model (which they charge £50 for).

thanks sam, will pick up a manual from screw fix.
ill get all the mixes down and tested before going all out with an electric gun.

running before walking comes to mind!

If you're going to get an electric anyway I would just go ahead and get one! Perfect for small to mid sized mixes.
Manual guns truly are a pain in the backside.

If you're adamant you want a manual, this 600ml one looks ok-

If I had the cash handy I would, sooner use 50 quid of the money for the electric gun on bulk base mix ingredients.
saving 5quid a kilo of bait I'm happy to gun it out by hand.
thanks for the link, will get one ordered.
