About this recipe
A high-leakage bait is designed to release as much soluble attraction as possible in the first hours in the water. That makes it a good choice in warm water, when carp are active and roam widely, and for short sessions where you want fish on the spot quickly.
The recipe combines standard fishmeal with krill meal, brewer's yeast and a high share of skimmed milk powder, all of which dissolve or break down quickly. Defatted soya keeps the fat level moderate so the attractors are not locked in by oil. Egg powder and semolina provide just enough binding to roll and boil the paste.
Betaine is added at 3 g per kilo of dry mix. It is a well-known feeding stimulant in fish baits and works best at low doses, so resist the temptation to add more. Fish protein hydrolysate and corn steep liquor in the liquids add a lot of soluble protein and amino acids. Because they make the paste wetter, use eight eggs per kilo.
Boil these baits briefly, around 60 to 90 seconds for 18 mm, and air-dry them for a day or two before freezing. A longer boil seals in the very attraction this recipe is built to release. Expect them to soften in the water within a day, which is intended. If nuisance fish are a problem, use a harder hookbait from the durable hookbait recipe on the hair and fish this mix as freebies.
Questions about this recipe
How many eggs does this recipe need?
About 8 medium eggs per kilo of dry mix. Add them beaten and stop when the paste no longer crumbles; the exact number depends on how much your ingredients absorb.
Can I change the ingredients?
Yes. Open the recipe in the calculator, swap or rebalance any ingredient, and the nutrition, binding and cost update straight away.
How long should I boil these boilies?
As a rule of thumb, boil 18 mm baits for about two minutes, smaller baits for less and hard hookbaits for longer. Air-dry them on a rack before freezing.
