Hi guys
I've decided to try and make my own boilies and was after some advice.
Does the below sound ok for a 1kg base mix?
150g soya flour
150g semolina
100g corn meal
100g CLO
300g Fish meal
100g lamlac milk powder
50g crushed hemp
50g bird seed mix
I want to get a good base mix sorted that rolls well and holds together then I will start experimenting with flavours.

Looks ok. A bit low on solubles. I'd take out some of the bulk binders and add some soluble fish protein. 100g to go with your 300 fishmeal should do it and it will still roll fine. Add 10mil per egg of a hydro liquid rather than bung flavours at it.i like spices in my mixes too. Something like and equal blend of paprika, chilli, garlic and fenugreek at 50 g per kilo will perk it up no end.
100 soya
100 semo
100 maize
100clo
100 of pd fishmeal
250 fishmeal
100 lamlac
50g crushed hemp
50g spice
50g birdfood (robin red would be my choice)
Add liquids as you wish but I'd keep it simple with a little bit of oil and a decent hydroslate liquid or belachan and a flavour if you think it needs it.

Thanks for the help
I'm off to France for a week in May and want to get decent boilie ready to save a bit on cash. I usually take about 20kg over with me so if I can knock up a decent bait for under £5 a kilo I'll be happy.
I'm off work this week and want to start experimenting with it. I've looked online and Quality Baits looks like it has everything I will need. They're not too far away either so I could go and pick up tomorrow.

Sounds like a plan. You could save yourself the hassle and just pick up some of their Patsull park basemix and roll it yourself. Tried and tested mix that one.

I'll have a look at that. Is it ready to go, just add eggs and flavour?

Yes. Add a decent amount of krill hydro and you're good to go.

Add hydros and spices, don't waste your money on an artificial flavour

What spices work well? I have plenty in the cupboard. Chilli powders, curry powders, garam masala etc.
Also, is Sticky Baits liquid krill a good liquid to use?

Yep all of those, fenugreek, garlic, turmeric, different peppers. Go to around 50g or so per kg.

That's great
Quality Baits isn't open till Friday, I'm gonna grab a kilo to try.
Me and my dad are down our local lake for a day session on Sunday so I'll make some to try.
I'm going to be rolling by hand, if I'm happy with how they turn out I'll be getting a rolling table to make it easier for a bigger mix.

Ignore my comment about sticky Baits pure krill. Just seen that they have stopped selling it to save stock for themselves. Won't be available till 2022.
I'll either look for another krill liquid or maybe try there tuna one. Would this work ok?

If you're going to visit quality baits why not ask them if they have any krill, it's a lot cheaper buying from one source. If they don't I'm sure they will be able to suggest an alternative.

I've just checked their website and they do liquid krill for £6 for a 500ml bottle. Think I'll give it a go
