heard you had a 45 rich was it on trent baits

In essex we have a number of companies (non fishing) that sell boilies one such farm shop called marriages i would recommend .they are in chelmsford (on the one way system next door to tescos )and i think a kilo of boilies are £8 another shop (tackle ) which i can recommend also is in Russel way chelmsford.Big fish tackle and they are opened 7 days a week. they will be haveing a late opening once a week. please check for details.. not shure if marriages are open sundays but are open the rest of the week. Neither shop does deals on large amounts. But at those prices you can go wrong particular when you want a couple of kilos at a time. (maybe worht giving them a ring anyway)

atomic baits r doing a great deal 5k boilys gluged hookers and popups 30 pound ive got the sx quaility bait been doing well everywhere

Perfection groundbaits discount their bait, start at 7quid and get down to 5quid the more you buy

Ive just started making my own boilies and they work just fine. I buy a ready base mix from a local bait specialist for 2.50 per kg and go from there. Today i blended tinned tuna, sardines and mackeral together with my eggs, a good splash of tabasco, some chilli flakes and some salmon oil. My house smells vile but the boilies look great! Once you have all the gear to make them it doesnt take long and i get about 2 kg for 6 quid. You can make what ever flavour you fancy, im toying with the idea of some cooked like meatballs in a chilli con carne with the beans and everything for spodding

in my eyes if you after cheep bait then its get to your local pet serpliys as thay do cheep hemp maize and other stuff but if its bollie then get your self in to a tackle shop spend some time getin to now the owner and get a bulk bye of him then you might start getin dels that way or look for feild testing baits but you will still have to pay for it but it will be lots cheeper than in the shops i field test for ocean fresh thay got great deals at the min so have a look pal on there hope this helps out

I've been rolling my own boilie for a while now, i'm currently mixing a HNV Nut Blend for less than £4.00 a kilo (cost) that's consistently outperforming well known branded baits on a couple of my local waters.
Admittedly, there's a lot more time and effort involved than simply picking up a few bags of Mainline in your local tackle shop, but you reap what you sow in my opinion.
