How to use them in boilies
Sugars and sweeteners round off the taste of a bait and carry sweet flavours. Sugar is cheap and adds bulk sweetness; intense sweeteners work at tiny doses and keep their effect when the bait is boiled.
Sugar is typically used at a few percent of the dry mix, while intense sweeteners are dosed in fractions of a gram per kilo. Sweet baits pair with fruity and creamy flavours and with milk and birdfood mixes. Too much sugar makes the paste sticky and the baits softer, so balance it with semolina or milk powder.
