Generally no. What seeds are you adding? You may need to grind them down a little, if too big then rolling can become and issue (assuming you will roll them).

hiya looking to add small bird seed, (trill), niger seeds, linseeds, poppy seeds.
my gut feeling is that I don't have to soak / prep them but just wanted some reassurance.
cheers

You don't have to prepare if its just going into a hook bait.

However for a hook bait i would grind them up before adding to the mix, attraction is what you want and a ground up seed is going to be better than any unprepared whole seed in a boilie.
