These days, with all the info and equipment available, you're so much better off making your own.

Better, Cheaper, More seeds for your money.

I've said it before on here, but properly prepared particle will outfish any boilie on the market.

Yeah I work a 10hr days and dont have the time to soak hemp and corn and boil it etc. I will happily pay over the odds to get it done for me so I can just go and enjoy my fishing which is my stress release from reality.

Unfortunately as per this post seem even paying over the odds doesnt get a decent product lol

David if you don't have time maybe one thing I could suggest if you have the room somewhere (shed,garage etc)
Is to buy a burco and a Tapo smart plug you can control the plug from anywhere via the app so can turn the burco on and off when you need too.

I've got a couple of Tapo smart plugs and they are brilliant for this sort of situation where your particles can be ready for when you get home to go fishing 👍

He doesn't want the faff, see if there's any members near you who'll provide the service and bung them the money you'd normally spend.

Bought 8kg worth of multi buy corn from amazon to add to the mix. It will do the job. Probably is best just doing your own over a weekend not fishing and freezing it etc I just cant be arsed with work and young kids and dogs and everything the world throws at you to waste your weekend making bait lol. As much as I enjoy my fishing everything has a limit

If the expense is not an issue then the dynamite jars are pretty consistent.

To cook hemp all you need to do is boil water, chuck the hemp and boiling water in an old cool box, and forget about it for 36 hours. It takes 5 minutes one evening. I work 50-60 hours per week and still manage to do my own with no effort

Thats not strictly true, There are not many people who can do it as well as a good particle company. If you want basic run of the mill maize etc then yes, However, if you want it done correctly then it can then it can take years of experiance and practice to get it consitently right
Some companies use chemical preservitives, Tap water that has chlorine etc .

Oh behave! Particles are dead easy to prep, and anyone can do them well. It really doesn't take years of practice at all! And it's the only way to guarantee getting the right amount of decent bait. As I said, way too many stories of sub standard baits from all the companies that pop up and then usually disappear again at some point.

basic prep yes. correctly fermented particle ,tigers etcis a completly different ball game.
most carp anglers do not know how to it well.

Yeah but no prepared particle suppliers are doing that mate. They're just soaking and boiling on mass

So you personally know how "most carp anglers" prepare particles? No of course not. and as said, these companies don't do what you are saying anyway. ,soak,boil,sell. That's all they do. Just what anyone can themselves dead easily
