Cheap Bait Thread (229 posts / 210,713 views)

It seems most of our members would like to know where to get cheaper bait so I thought we should have a sticky thread.

I'll start off - particle and pellets, go to www.yell.co.uk and do a search for animal feed suppliers in your local area.

As for boilies - contact Vision Baits for fieldtesting opportunities

(alternatively ring around the main companies and see if you can do a deal for bulk )

Post away fella's...


NB - Mods will be watching this thread for commercial plugging from people. If any members are found to be blatantly plugging their own or mates bait companies without prior permission from Karlos the member will recieve an immediate ban!

Back you up on that one, friends use them almost exclusively for bait - particle, cheap pellets, i think they may even do boilies - and get very very good prices.

I went to Willow Grange last night, first time there, and was impressed! The quality of the bait is excellent and the guy was very helpful. They stock the cheapest hemp I can find, and in three different sizes too!! Plus a huge range of pellets and they stock the entire CC Moore range too.

advanced bait services are a quality bait company they do 10k of powder rolled fro £60 meaning you get around 14k of bait for that price which works out at under a fiver for kilo off bait and its a class bait as well, i use a certain type now and just had my best ever session on a local lake near me, they also do loads of different pellets such as krill,squid etc as well as pellet to match your freebies for £30 for 25k !!!!!!! i think i am right in saying that the guy whos company this is was the person who started off with premier baits but dont quote me on that.....they do a wide range of bollies catering all types and from what my mates have been saying about it they all catch loads of fish as well.....also another awesome bait for a good price is lea valley baits especially aqua reds which i have had loads of fish on myself......PM me for details on either if you wish......

Titmuss, Near Wheathampstead.

Sell cheap pellets, amino's trouties, halibults, hemp pellets, tiger nut pellets.

Also sell cheap maize in different sizes/forms, all sorts of stuff there, hemp is quite cheap there too.

Fishmeal in 25kilo sacks very cheap too.

I have only used their pellets & maize. The pellets come with a made on date & a use by date, very handy As they only have a 6 month life

i would recomend chris orms's bait. i have been on the extract for two years now and this year i have done so well. i have managed to get the biggest fish out my syndicate(31ish), in my first year (god damn) and had five more fish over 25lbs. the extract bait is simply awsome.

am going to give his new bait a try next year, looks and smells gracking. i just cant wait for spring!!!!

he doesnt just do the boilies though he does, popups, hard baits, krill pellets, bloodworm, glm, etc etc....

excelent prices too. drop him an email and dont look back!!!!

Hello carpman00. Im new on here . Just been having a bit of a read and noticed you had put Geoff from Premier. Geoff left Premier nearly five years ago now. Running his own company now. I roll a lot of bait for him and our own. We also do Mlarky plus many more. We are called T.T.Baits and also do a very competative priced Boilie range. £5.00kg. Most of our baits are made in conjuction with the man him self, all ingredients are purchased through him because they are the best available. We have a website currently in construction which people will be able to check out and purchase on line. www.ttbaits.com or www.thetackletart.com. Should be of interest to some of you. Hope to be able to chat to a few people. Might even know some of ya

Hi anglers,

Have you heard about the selling of rejected boilies from the factories? The waste material created, that is those not hardened in the correct spherical shape, can be bought off bait companies at very little cost, but their irregular shapes and sizes actually make them effective bulk free offerings, or even hookbaits!
Does anybody share any interest in this source of cheap bait?

Try Kent Particles. It is not always a case of stoving it in either, hi quality baits that are expencise if used in the correct manner and for the right situation require you to only put in a couple.

A Hi-Attraction bag of ground bait for a quid and a bit of paste or a good quality pop-up etc, for 20p and placed in a good area in front of fish will catch better than putting 5kgs of bolies over the the fish spooking them away??? where is the point in that.

Cheap Bait or Correct situation that is a far better question, what about pellets? or rolling your own, again companies like CBS and Kent Particles make great bait at affordable prices but this does not mean I am going to put 10kgs in for a 24hour session?

My local Feed Suppliers (Gibbs of Galston) do a pigeon mix, "Irish Racing Mix" for £8.99 for 25kg. It consists of French Maize, Maples, Tares, White Dari, & Sunflower Seeds.

Should be available from most feed stores I reckon.

I notice you sometimes have an odd way of not leaving any spaces between your full stops and the first letter of your next sentence. I've never seen this before, except, strangely, from the very Ebay seller you claim to be buying your 'wonder paste' from!

Also, you don't use an apostrophe when writing "I've" - and nor does the Ebay seller!

Ever more co-incidentally, he is also from Manchester!

Could there perhaps be something you aren't telling us?

try and get friendly with a farmer i get as much wheat, maize,barley and other particles as i want i work on the farm the only trouble with the maize is that you have to take it off the cob by hand which can take a bit of time but if its free then you cant complain really can you.

Ignore the prices on the Manor Farm site as the prices in the actual shop itself are average £5 a sack cheaper!!!! I went over there on Wednesday to pick up a couple of sacks of bait & ended up with the back of the Espace bottomed out & only spent £40!

As an example

20Kg Blue Ribbon Pidgeon Conditioner - Web price£13.60 - Shop price £8.60
20Kg Wheat - Web price £9.00 - Shop price £4.00
20Kg Maize - Web Price £11.90 - Shop price £6.90

Hi guys, I'm after some cheap tiger nuts, if there is such a thing? any ideas?

I've found a place near me that does Ewe Nuts as a substitute for pellets, for £4 per 25kg! Anyone know the base of Ewe Nuts? surely it isn't fishmeal?

Cheers

What do you mean by 'cheap' Tiger Nuts? They really only come into this country in any quantity for us fisherman and so there are no mass users like most food ingredients so the prices are generally fixed at about £40 a sack.

Some Ewe Nuts are based on Maize Gluten Feed which is made from Corn Steep Liquor . Some are made with Maize Gluten Meal which IS NOT made from Corn Steep Liquor so try and find the former by reading the ingredients on the sack and you will be on to a good cheap attractor pellet

(talking Tiger Nuts I presume and not Ewe Pellets)

Not around Tunbridge Wells they don't, they can get them but don't stock them unless things have changed in the last 12 months.

Having talked to the biggest growers in Spain last year they gave me a list of all the UK importers and the top 3 where all angling companies Maybe you got your info from one of the other Tiger Nut growers in Spain as there are a lot as the Spainish eat shed loads of the things.

Went to the farm feed shop friday to get some pellets, bought the usual carp/coarse pellets and wanted some Ewe nuts/CSL pellets.

Asked the bloke if he had any and he took me straight to CSL pellets, £20 for 20kg.

I said im not paying that i want Ewe nuts/pellets and he says that they hardly contain any CSL?

I believe , from past threads, that ewe nuts are CSL pellets!

So whats going on, was he trying to con me into paying for expensive CSL pellets or what?

Hello, I am from the US and I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly you use for carp bait. Where I'm from, most people use dough balls or night crawlers. Sometimes when I'm not fishing specifically for carp, and am not carrying the proper bait, but come across a school on a feeding frenzy, usually at a dam, I will use what ever snack food that I am carrying for bait with good results.

definately check out THE BAIT WAREHOUSE in shepperton. they have great/cheap (but not bad quality) bait. check them out at www.thebaitwarehouse.co.uk. i use their new website to order, but i rekon they also do phone orders and you can probably buy on the spot. great staff (jim knows his stuff), and they even have some great deals on combined specials of products (i just got the bloodworm boilie session deal).

you can try broadfeed online for all types of particle and pellet they even do cheap tigernut slime (growler Juice) for about 3 quid a bottle.

i also get quality baits for a good price from individual baits,
Poacher baits are also worth a try as they are really cheap

remember you get what you pay for

Thats just not true. Off the top of my head I can easily name half a dozen or more suppliers of top quality baits who charge less than £6/ Kg in sensible quantites. You just have to do a little research to find them

Try vitalin, brilliant and versatile. Can be used on the method, spod it out or ball it out. I bought 15 kg for £11. But make sure it is original. Also, try anything with a simlar titel to pigeon deluxe, got plenty of particles like chick peas, nuts, tares n so on, just make sure it is prepared properly.

I think this is quit a bargan that when,,, you buy them nash carp monster pellets that you can buy a 15 KG bucket and normaly a cheep bag of pellets which is about a £1.

And i was looking in my mates magazine today and he was showing me this place where you can have a deal and order 10 KG of bolies for £60 and normaly 1 KG of bolies is about £10.

And for me of the amount of bait i use somtimes i come home and i have used all the bolies i have taken and somtimes... I go and come home with more about only used less than half a bag depending on how hungry the fish seem to be.... Like when the fishing is fishing well i think it is best to feed a bit and if it is not fishing as well i think it is best to put some feed in.... BUt what i normaly do is i get there and after the first morning if i havn't caught try feeding a bit to see if that helps,,,,,, and it somtimes dose!!!!!!!!

Does this thread hold the record for the most messages suppressed and people being banned? On the bait front fish the best bait you can afford and if that means cutting back so be it.

I struggle to afford high quaility baits But I manage to cut the costs by making every pva bag of boilies count.. Find the fish before you put your bait out !

instead of glug i use cheap Additives like chilli powder, onions , garlic , salt , coffeemate and if used right can be as deadly as any shop bought attractor.

Plastic corn presented over a small handfull of canned sweetcorn is the obvious one but try tinned kidney beans hair rigged in the margins ! dont know what it is that they like or whether they see it as a safe food , all I know is it works and they will remain in the area long after they have eaten the last bean.

Hi
Second post since joining the forum so be gentle lol I may be teaching some of you old carpers to suck eggs here but has any one tried the old trick of soaking there Bollie or baits in C S L? work's a treat. I have had many successes on this method. I use well known baits Mailine, CC moore, but I dont think they are any better than a brilliant locally produced bait that I cannot beat.
On a recent rip to a local lake I shared the C S L soaked local bait I had with a retired gent and a young wippersnapper who because of his age could not afford the well know baits. I caught several to 12lb not big I know but pleasurable the older gent caught a very nice 18lb common and the lad who had only fished twice before had a beautifully marked Mirror of 23lb. it was quite noticable to me that the half of the lake that was fishing with CSL soaked baits caught and the other half of the lake fishing with just boille had to my knowledge nought. Coincidenc I have no idea. But just recently I fished my lake with a bait that I had been waiting a very long time to come out 2hrs with out a sniff I retreived the bait replaced with a CSL soaked boillie 10mins and the run produced a 18lb Common the bait was in exactly the same place as the one I retreived. re baiting and a further run 20mins later produced a huge fish that I was unable to land coincidence again I dont know.

Top tip, make yor own boilies. I put a base mix together and add some top flavours, all for 3.50 a kilo, competes wiv the main baits as well, at a fraction of the.price. one of the best bits is that wen I bait up with 30 kilos over the.course of a season it costs 95 quid instead of 300, if yor paying the ship prices!! Quite a difference. If yor interested take a luk at the cc Moore site for a few build yor own base.mix.ideas. happy hunting!

Best bait to use is a bait that you make your self a lot cheaper than buying baits from some of these companys also you can afford to use more as your costs will be less. Buy Being differnt and not following everone else this can also at times give you an edge. When you make your own bait you start to see how much money these companys are making .Dolton

In essex we have a number of companies (non fishing) that sell boilies one such farm shop called marriages i would recommend .they are in chelmsford (on the one way system next door to tescos )and i think a kilo of boilies are £8 another shop (tackle ) which i can recommend also is in Russel way chelmsford.Big fish tackle and they are opened 7 days a week. they will be haveing a late opening once a week. please check for details.. not shure if marriages are open sundays but are open the rest of the week. Neither shop does deals on large amounts. But at those prices you can go wrong particular when you want a couple of kilos at a time. (maybe worht giving them a ring anyway)

Ive just started making my own boilies and they work just fine. I buy a ready base mix from a local bait specialist for 2.50 per kg and go from there. Today i blended tinned tuna, sardines and mackeral together with my eggs, a good splash of tabasco, some chilli flakes and some salmon oil. My house smells vile but the boilies look great! Once you have all the gear to make them it doesnt take long and i get about 2 kg for 6 quid. You can make what ever flavour you fancy, im toying with the idea of some cooked like meatballs in a chilli con carne with the beans and everything for spodding

in my eyes if you after cheep bait then its get to your local pet serpliys as thay do cheep hemp maize and other stuff but if its bollie then get your self in to a tackle shop spend some time getin to now the owner and get a bulk bye of him then you might start getin dels that way or look for feild testing baits but you will still have to pay for it but it will be lots cheeper than in the shops i field test for ocean fresh thay got great deals at the min so have a look pal on there hope this helps out

I've been rolling my own boilie for a while now, i'm currently mixing a HNV Nut Blend for less than £4.00 a kilo (cost) that's consistently outperforming well known branded baits on a couple of my local waters.
Admittedly, there's a lot more time and effort involved than simply picking up a few bags of Mainline in your local tackle shop, but you reap what you sow in my opinion.

Found some good cheap basemix ingredients at Feedstim Much cheaper than other sources i´ve tried. Definately helps to lower the cost, if rolling your own bait on a wide scale

I don't if some else has already has said this but carp nut on twitter gave me a great idea for a particle mix, its pigeon conditioner, boil for 20/30 mins/ add sugar and salt and leave in a air sealed bucket for at least 3 days and i have to say the results amazed me, its well worth a try and is very cheap!

I haven't used them before but blakes baits seem very cheap.
they have lots of boilies , pellets and a lot more.
I would say if you're stalking, I would buy the most complicated and expensive bait out there - value sweetcorn.
The cheaper the better.
1kilo bag will last a while and can cost £1 or so

If you are using a good Pigeon Conditioner there wont be any maize in it, (try Bucktons), so if you boil it for that long you will turn a good many of the small seeds to mush. We are only talking match head size seeds here after all.
Simply cover your Conditioner with boiling water, snap on the bucket lid, and the next morning you will have a beautifully prepared Particle mix.
Add Salt or sugar after you have prepared your seeds.

I'm one of the old fogeys that turn out their own baits rather than buy them ready made, and a quick check has shown that they can work out at under £2.50 per kg of dry mix. Chuck in 9 eggs per kg (Farm Foods per pack of 15), and a little Cod Liver Oil (Tesco's), and that gives around £3.54 per kilo.

However that is dry weight, a kilo of dry mix yields quite a lot more than a kilo of baits, more like 25% more due to the weight of the eggs, oil, and the water that the baits absorb during the boiling process. So that means you can knock up a kilo of reasonable Fishmeal baits for around £2.70 per kilo, and as the advert goes, the feeling you get from using your own baits..... "priceless".

I don't really do cheap bait any more. Never liked or rated particles much, hate the stink and mess basically, and gone right off pellets. Pellets can at times be deadly, especially in the later months before the freeze up, but are too inconsistent for me and I feel that on some waters they are just done to death and blown a bit. They aren't very nice for fish either, far too fatty.
There are some great low oil pellets about though, headed of course by Sticky Baits lovely award winning ones..

I have a bit of a special mix of one or two fine delicacy type foods that are very unusual in carp circles and I put them in a mix with one or two twists that I have developed over the years with two different crumbed premium fresh frozen boilies from two completely different bait companies (which is something I very rarely hear of people doing).. both are unusual boilies, and both are new on the scene, one is very new.. they seem to work magic together and switch the carp on.

I don't use any potions, mainly because I'm on a budget but I found that glugs can often work against you. I prefer to mix up my own ''glug'' of sorts using hemp juice and one or two things from the kitchen cupboard

I made sure I told the bailiff what I was using without telling him my whole mix as he doesn't need to know the other stuff what with it being the usual acceptable frozen boilies etc. and asked him to keep it quiet and if the stuff was acceptable. I got the green light from them. I told him that as it was so dear I hardly use much.

I've baited very light for some years now and found I like the softly softly approach anyway.

I think that with the rising costs of fishmeals and overfishing of krill etc. in the news recently we all need to be aware of these things and take our bait a bit under our own wing as it were.. I mean use your imagination, be different, and experiment with making up some mixes not always going down the premium expensive fishy readymade route.

Most of the top companies provide very simple 50/50 type base mixes and suggestions and they are of course a brilliant starting point, they are often very happy to help people interested in their gear, just ring them up, appreciate that they are busy, be polite and ask them for a quick simple mix. They have all sorts of nice ideas of their own personal use and you would be amazed what neat little edges you can gain, tweaking a bit of this with a bit of that, off the radar little tips. Don't forget these people work with bait day in day out and are all experts. I particularly like emailing Gary Bayes, he is so down to Earth and friendly and helpful, a real mine of knowledge.
The trick is don't be tempted to go on at these people too much and be cheeky as they are very busy trying to help masses of people just like you

Get imaginative and be different with boilies is my advice, like I said cheap baits like particles and pellets are not the way forward in my opinion. If you are on a budget, continue buying the top gear but just use less of it.

Carp do just fine if eating a cheaper bait.

then someone shows up with a better quality bait and the fish quickly show a preference.

So if you give them bait that costs £12 a kilo it automatically does them good? Think someone has been caught by the marketing spiel of the big bait firms.

Always good to have a spicy option in the bait bag. I've been using curry powder for years. Started mixing a bit of chilli in with it recently & the fish definitely like it!

Just because a bait has a well known name on the bag, It doesn't mean it's a good fish attractor, or wholesome for their consumption. I have more time for people in the Koi world these days.

Re open old thread, As, imo this is the best fishing forum in uk, shouldnt this list be updated? Many of the names mentioned are not available anymore. So are we allowed to put cheapest boilie/ingredient/bait suppliers forward? Although, is it possible to suggest companys without promoting them?

Hi Trevor,

So are we allowed to put cheapest boilie/ingredient/bait suppliers forward

By all means add to the thread with any you have.
Not sure we can tidy this up too much as as is pointed out in #1235 this thread is 13 years old, older than both my kids

Although, is it possible to suggest companies without promoting them?

I don't think we have a problem with you suggesting companies yourself. It's the users that just come onto the forum and first post they are plugging their products.
They are usually spotted quite quickly by the MODS. If not by them, we have plenty of super-sleuth members on here that are quick to point them out.
