How to use them in boilies
Liquid foods and hydrolysates are nutritious liquids that carry flavour into the bait and leak it into the water. Corn steep liquor is sweet and savoury and very popular; liver and fish protein hydrolysates are partly broken-down proteins that carp detect quickly.
They are dosed in millilitres per kilo of dry mix, usually 15 to 30 ml, added to the eggs before mixing. Liquid foods work all year, and they are one of the best ways to add cold-water attraction without changing the base mix. They pair naturally with fishmeal, liver and yeast mixes.
