Hi just wondering what sort of prices people get for a feed boilie to complement pellet etc for weekly feeding. Any suggestions, recommendations would be great. Would be 1000kg.
Thanks!
Thanks!

What's a feed Boilie??? if you mean a boilie made up to match your pellets. It's just a boilie. No??

Irrespective of what a feed boilie is, at that sort of quantity it would be best to ring up bait makers. You can get 5Kg of boilie for £25 easily enough, but I'm guessing you'd be looking at a lot cheaper than that. There's also overruns to consider.

Really gonna depend on the quality of the boilie that you want. If you wanted a high quality HNV fishmeal, a decent liver mix or a nut mix then you'd probably still be looking at £4 a kilo for that volume. If you want a bulked up cheap s51tter biscuit you'd probably achieve £2 a kilo. But id be asking myself what's the point. I'd rather feed 500kg of best quality rather than 1000kg of crap.

I get asked this a lot!
A feed boilie, I have seen a few over the years and most are pretty poor and still 2-4 quid a kilo. They probably won't hit 25 percent protein either.
I have a pellet that is 45 percent protein and although expensive for a pellet they are still cheaper than the cheap boilie
The only time a feed boilie is a necessity is when other species are a problem and they eat all your other feed items.
I have been asked this year to produce one for that exact reason. The lakes are full of 4-8oz roach that consume everything so the owners wanted 20mm feed baits.
It can be done I'm sure and one day I'll have a proper go at it.
