Hi Gents

Seen these boilies advertised on ebay (see link below).

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125799673175?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=5TunginlRRC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=a_DwNXLwQXa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Advertised as:


krill hydro made with krill meal krill hydro slate krill oil lt 94 fish meal sardine meal acid casein whey protein nut protein seaweed meal vitamin/mineral GLM powder squid powder semolina soya
uk made




Has anyone had any experience with these? 10kg for £42.50.

Never seen or used but to make a boilie containing all that for £4.25 a kilo and to make profit is worrying.

The ingredients list looks good but the obvious question is what are the % rates.
I have messaged to ask how much fishmeal is in the krill baits.
His feedback looks decent though.

Pure krill oil costs a fortune. I'd be very sceptical.

I ordered some of these. Exactly what I expected for the money. Very hard baits and when you crush a few up they don't feel very good tbh. But I will say the tuna really does stink

That would be great, please let me know if he comes back with percentage rates.

This is the reply...
He is from Ware (according to ebay) so maybe someone locally knows him and can vouch for his bait ???

I had 5kg of Corus Nut Cluster in 15 plus some pop ups

wafters and liquid given to me, I was a little sceptical but I chopped some up crushed some and put some Vitalin in a bucket with some Corus liquid and Carnation milk, Spodded some out and fished wafters over the top and after a quiet few hours my alarms stared screaming, a couple of the Carp where crapping it out, the boilies had a superb nut smell and texture and it was obvious they where passing the bait through them quickly, really impressed with them, only problem, the Bream loved them

Why not have a look at Mirage baits,special bulk deals and the mixed bulk over run boilie bags are great .. is all I use ..Great for clearing spots or prebaiting..

Why pay more...?

The samples arrived today.

He sent me krill, tiger nut, tuna and banofee

They all smell nice but not a flood of 'food' items in there. Maybe a lot of semolina and soya flour used and a bit of everything else for the flavour. Going to get 5kg and see how it performs.

Thank you all for your response

If you had 40 quid to buy boilies what would you get?

4 kilos of sticky krill

Or

15 kilos of cheap unknown bait



I personally would be on the sticky krill, without a second thought. I'd rather use 1 kilos of that stuff than 10 kilos of an unknown or cheap bait.
