Going France end of September doing big public lakes and the lakes I have decided to fish are Plant based bait only.

I will be taking lots of tigers but for something bigger bought 20-24mm shelf life DNA boilies which now seems I can't use (legally anyways). My question is what is a good shelf life plant base boilie or alternative?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
Not sure about boilies but for additional feed the BP Milling Gold pellets and Natrepel liquid are plant based.

Isn't DNA Switch based on pea protein? Might be a suitable alternative for you.

It does contain pea protein, but also milk proteins, liver powder and beef protein. It would be stretching it to call it plant based !

Public waters... The site translation may be iffy and not really reflect what it means to. . Plant based baits normally relates to live Baits, worms etc. Anything that is not living is OK, so fishmeal boilies will be fine

Done a bit of searching and Hexabaits do a totally plant based boilie called Power Nuts. They can deliver to your chosen lake or maybe you could pick up en route if there is no drop off point with it being a public lake.

Decant your boilies into some bags with Decathlon labels on. Not a fleck of anything meat, fish or milk in the Scopex it seems !
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
