How to use them in boilies
Eggs are the usual binder for boilies. Fresh hen eggs hold the paste together and set it when the baits are boiled; whole egg powder and egg albumen powder do the same job in dry form and add protein. Albumen is the strongest binder and hardener in the group and is a standard part of hookbait mixes.
A kilo of dry mix typically takes 8 to 10 medium eggs, depending on how much the ingredients absorb. Egg powders work at a few percent of the dry mix, with albumen at around 3 to 5 %. Adding more albumen makes harder, longer-lasting baits; using less egg overall gives softer baits that break down faster. Add beaten eggs gradually and stop when the paste no longer crumbles.
