How to use them in boilies
Salt and mineral supplements improve the taste of a bait and help preserve it. Salt sharpens the flavour of fish and meat ingredients, and carp are attracted to it, especially in water that is naturally low in minerals.
Salt is usually added at around 5 to 15 g per kilo of dry mix. Too much makes the paste sticky and draws water out of the baits, so stay within the range on the ingredient page. Shelf-life baits often carry more salt as part of their preservation.
