Those fishermen who prefer fishing for large fish, such as, for example, carp, crucian carp, bream, use such a nozzle as boilies. The main distinguishing feature of such a bait is that it is always made of some strictly defined sizes, that is, the size of a certain "fish mouth", for example, cyprinids. In other words, a small fish simply cannot swallow such a nozzle, and therefore, when biting, one should hold the fishing rod tighter.
Boyles are of two types, these are floating and sinking. Specifically, in this article we will focus on floating boilies, and more precisely, on how they can be made at home on their own. The main advantage of floating boilies is that when throwing gear, they float up from the bottom at a certain distance and with this fish it is easier to notice the nozzle. The use of such a nozzle becomes very justified when fishing on lakes with a muddy bottom and muddy water.
Components and tools for making floating boilies
There are many recipes for cooking boilies. The easiest way to make boilies is to purchase bait and make boilies for them. As an example, let’s take carp bait. So we need:
- one or more packages of carp bait, depending on the scale of production of boilies;
- a raw egg;
- a bowl for kneading dough;
- a pot of water for boiling boilies;
- knife and cutting board;
- flavors and other additives as desired.
The process of making floating boilies
Step 1. Kneading the dough.
After preliminary breaking a raw egg into a bowl, we begin to gradually sprinkle the bait, while stirring the mass. In the end, you need to achieve such a composition of the test so that it ceases to stick to your hands. After this, the test formation process can be considered complete.
Step 2. Creating Balls
At the second stage, the boilies themselves are created, that is, their shape and size. Their size will depend on what size the fisherman hopes to catch the fish. For carp fishing, large boilies are made with a size of 16-20 mm. As for the manufacturing process itself, first the dough is rolled on the board, then it is cut into thin strips, and balls are created from these pieces. You can do otherwise, the author rolled up boilies, simply tearing pieces of dough from the main piece.
Step 3. Cook the boilies
At this point, the boilies are immersed in boiling water and boiled until they float. After this, the water is drained and the finished product is allowed to cool.
Step 4. Drying the Boilies
To create floating boilies, they must be dried. At the same time, excess moisture leaves them, and they cease to sink in water. You can use a microwave or conventional oven for drying. It is important not to overdo it, as boilies can easily be translated. To check whether the boilies are made correctly, it must be thrown into the water. The correct nozzle should begin to float smoothly.
Step 5. Scent
Scented boilies immediately before the fishing process. To do this, the balls are immersed in flavors before casting. There are also options in the form of a spray. They exist in different colors and under different types of fish.
That's all, the bait is ready for testing. As you can see, the manufacturing process is quite simple and allows you to save money without buying ready-made boilies in the store.
Here is the conclusion that can be drawn when fishing for such homemade boilies ...
