Liver will be fine mate, it's a brilliant additive especially when using with garlic and fenugreek in my experience

My advice. Buy a commercial made base mix. Have a look at the Mainline stuff, all you need is eggs and the matching liquid. Would be a doodle for you to roll

With respect, I don't know your level of bait knowledge but you might struggle to put one together as effective as this

When you start with your own mixes you have to perfect them to pending make up, perfect bind

Get you a feel for rolling bait too, getting the mix right

Eggs will depend on the amount of liquid you add. But id start by making very small 1 or 2 egg mixes, mix until the dough just loses its tackiness, so it's still workable but doesn't stick to everything. If you weigh out some mix, mix until you get that consistency and then weigh the remaining base mix you can work out how much per egg you will use. Also egg size makes a big difference so make a note of what size eggs you use. My own mix uses 100g of mix per large egg, so 10eggs per kg of dry mix, but I don't have a huge amount of liquids in mine

Hi everyone,
First time out with the Patshull park winter mix on a new water i haven't caught from before. first 24hr session i used it i had 2 fish an 18lber and a 24lber. i had been fishing the lake for 6 months with no joy and then rolled my first ever boilies and caught. insane! and what a amazing feeling! since that session i have been out 3 more times two of which i blanked but for the third trip decided to make some dumbell shaped ones instead and i managed 5 fish on my 3rd session. 32lb, 29lb, 27lb,22lb, 12lb. i was over the moon and now really enjoy rolling my own baits! thank you evryone for starting me on my bait rolling journey!!!

now want to try making pop ups for my single hookbaits. i am currently looking at nutrabaits flavours and liquids

used the boilies as hookbaits aswell so does show that they liked them so much that they took the hookbait and rig aswell as freebies
