So I've been loading my baits up with liquids, then when they've soaked it all up I then wash them out in lake water.... Then I take them out and air dry them.... When they're like bullets I coat in powder.... Bosh

how long do you soak them for in liquid? I normally air dry them 1st, then coat them in powder, then I wash them out in rain water, then airdry them again. Then add more liquid, then wash them out again. By which time I've used3 litres of liquid on 1 kg of boilies.

I'm hoping of course that you then put them through the RidgeMonkey boilie crusher to make sure that they're all different sizes?

I can see the point of soaking them in a food liquid. However I cant see the benefit of then washing it all out again. I have had good success soaking air dried baits in a mixture of hemp liquid amino liquid hemp oil and squid brand sauce until they were fully swollen up.

Amateurs!

You are all missing a vital step in your prepping. First of all on taking delivery you have to nicely arrange the contents on either your sofa or kitchen worktop then post a picture of it on the DNA Faceache page saying something like:

'Only ordered this the other day and it's actually turned up, just got to prep them all with the 3 gallons of liquid then catch some scaly bangers'

Only then can the task of 'freezing, defrosting, soaking, drying, soaking, freezing, defrosting, soaking, drying, sprinkling, soaking, drying, sprinkling, take another pic for Faceache, spomb the granny, blank, go home repeat process' commence

I'm not going to lie I do put a small amount of sticky pure krill liquid over my krill boilies and it does suck it all up and there is not liquid after a few days to week left in the bucket but I do agree I don't see the point in adding a lot I only put a very small amount to just cost them and make them wet

One liquid which I'm sure attracts carp is tiger nut goo / snot. That's one liquid I have seen carp rip the bottom up for. It sinks well and seems to hang around on the bottom for a while before it dissolves.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
