How to use them in boilies
Plant proteins such as soya flour, corn gluten meal and pea protein are a cheaper way to raise the protein of a mix. Full-fat soya flour adds oil and a nutty taste and helps the paste roll; defatted soya flour is leaner and carries more protein; corn gluten meal is rich in protein and gives a strong yellow colour.
Soya flours often make up 10 to 20 % of the dry mix, while concentrated proteins such as pea isolate work at lower levels. Plant proteins are less attractive on their own than fish or milk proteins, so pair them with an attractor, a liquid food or a flavour. They are a good way to keep the cost of feed baits down without dropping the protein too far.
