Do you boys just air dry these till bone dry.
What makes them shelf life to last and not turn in pot .
Glycerin , honey, syrup hydros etc .
Im new two making my own this year and pick it all up from reading what i can on hear and norm air dry for a day then freeze my feed boilies
Evan the harder hook baits i freeze ,
But would be nice to have a pot of pop ups etc lightly gluged ready

See my post below bud. Dry them out so they are rock hard then juice them up. Repeat a few times and I've never had them go bad

Caveat - I'm just making normal cork balls though egg/base mix/flavour 🙂

You can replace 20 % of your liquid mix with mono propylene glycol and then air dry for 2 or 3 days. I then give them a shake in some neat flavour and pot them up. I've done this for years and never had a pot go mouldy.

First time out on the cork balls I made and managed this bruiser from a 30 acre reservoir on a day session. Made up with that ! Caught on my yellow pineapples 😁

Well done jimmers, nothing more satisfying than catching on a homemade hookbait

I'm going to make some white cork ball pop ups. Anyone got any flavour combos that you would recommend ? I'm thinking of a fishy/ squid based one. I've got mainline squid ade, AA baits squid and octopus and also got some black pepper essential oil, may also ad a little scopex in there too with GLM and liver powder. What's your thoughts ?

Think im getting the hang of them now. These are mulberry and scopex with a touch of ff6 and Cinammon leaf essential oil. They smell incredible. Hope the fish like them 😁

They look very good.

You should be very happy with those

Well the mulberry's certainly worked first time out today. What a buzz 👌🏻
