10 Homemade Carp Bait Recipe Tips To Beat Prepared Baits Like Mainline Cell!

Since many of you want to make your own secret homemade baits, here are some tips for making and popping more powerful baits that will outperform prepared baits like Mainline Cell.

1. The most popular ready-made boilies used by anglers today are a massive compromise of features, functions, properties, and modes of action, etc., that allow bait companies to sell baits in the first place and make a profit. But these baits, in most cases, are designed to appeal to anglers and this is a big problem because it mostly means that such baits are far from being optimized for maximum success or even optimal performance, regardless. of the bait company’s claims in the advertisements. Many baits made to attract fish are often not water reactive or receptor enough, or not powerful enough in other ways that massively limit their performance. All baits that are heated to last longer on the water so that anglers have the confidence that they will still be on a rig when they reel in after fishing for a night is a compromise of many things. None of these baits can really qualify as performance optimized. This is where homemade baits and recipes score very highly because you can optimize your own personal baits for optimal performance in every possible way, including making baits that have no requirement to be cooked, boiled, steamed, or heated in any way.

2. It is very easy to make baits that have as few common characteristics as machine-rolled boilies. It absolutely amazes me that today’s anglers are still stuck in the rut of this silly paradigm of wasting time pulling baits out through a bait gun and using a rolling table for round, barrel or cylindrical shaped baits. The most commonly used shapes that scare off carp and instantly lead to more cautious feeding are these shapes! Why the hell would someone with their brains turned on waste their time making homemade baits that mimic the most common characteristics of off the shelf baits that actually reduce your catches right off the bat? Think of all the natural carp foods and I think you’ll find that perfectly round and cylindrical shapes don’t figure very well. Such baits do not reproduce natural foods very well. However, compare this to tiger nuts, for example, which vary in texture, shape, size and other characteristics, meaning it’s much harder for carp to distinguish your jig baits from free baits. Apply this thought when making boilies and avoid using bait rollers! I make homemade baits about 10 times faster and easier without using a bait gun or rolling table; there are other ways!

3. Why do so many anglers coat their hook baits with paste to get more bites, or even to get a bite? It is very easy for carp to avoid hooking on smooth-surfaced baits. They have had decades of practice sorting through millions of round and barrel shaped baits. Safe paste changes baits in many ways, but it doesn’t improve boiled bait performance one bit when you coat a ready-to-use boiled bait with paste. You could also ditch the boilies as a bait format and use pasta instead! I firmly believe that the future lies in making unheated baits. If you’re still turned on by those flashy ads and even hook logos attached to perfectly round or barrel-shaped baits, it’s time to stop thinking like a commercial brainwashed angler and start thinking like a fish!

4. Along with the shape of the bait is the texture of the bait. When you stop reeling the baits the texture of the baits you can produce is absolutely amazing. You can use ingredients you could never use in a reeling bait, including, for example, roughly broken silkworm pupae. Think about it; How many baits do fish experience that have radically hard and soft areas on their bumpy, uneven surface and within them a variety of completely different textures and sensory sensations? The vast majority of ready-to-use baits simply offer a single texture with a uniform surface texture. Again think about it; Why bother cutting prepared baits with a knife to change their shape or texture? Such baits are not optimized for performance and are obviously flawed in terms of optimal design!

5. Think outside the box; Why use a critically balanced bait all the time when it may well be that because the vast majority of anglers are using them, the fish have simply learned to deal with most of these types of hook baits most of the time. time? Making homemade jig baits that are significantly heavier has its advantages, and when this feature is combined with other deliberate differences in the vast majority of ready-made baits, you can be sure your fish will have a harder time avoiding your hook baits. Most of the time, balanced jig baits on rigid or flex or hinged rigs just don’t jab the fish or make runs, they just droop up or come loose, so do something different instead!

6. How many anglers bait directly from their leashes and fish in the upper layers of the water? I ask this because a large percentage of the time fish are not feeding on or near the bottom, but instead are busy filter feeding on incredibly nutrient rich phytoplankton and zooplankton in the upper layers of the water. Many anglers are still addicted to the thought which means they fish most of their time waiting for conventional feeding times, when fish may feed on the bottom or near the bottom, characterized by taking their bites. But in reality, fish bite a lot more in all water layers where the fish are found, and more often than not most anglers just don’t have their baits in the correct water layers. When you can have 8 fish during the day fishing a floating bait caught 20 feet off your sinker in 40 foot water depth, while your baits on or near the bottom catch no fish, surely you should take the big hint that he really fishes off the bottom most of the time, at least with one of his rods, it has to be done when there are no fish around! Making homemade floating baits that are irregularly shaped and even mimic natural foods like hatching insect larvae is simple when you avoid using bait dollies!

7. Strangely, too many 3-rod anglers seem too eager to experiment away from their fishing tackle. Chod rigs were around in the early eighties, and they’re nothing new, just like any of today’s circle type rigs, they’re just another method, so if you’re addicted to using those things because they’re popular, why not quit? Stop being a control freak and get a lot more creative! Using a combination of bait formats on a rig instead of just one pop-up bait is an obvious example; Not many anglers find that just using a bait made up of 3 layers of baits from different recipes increases fish attention by offering 3 different nutritional profiles, for example.

8. I know very few people who use multiple hairs on their equipment, but I can assure you that this approach is brilliant. One of the reasons is that very few use this type of rig, but I find that in the fall, winter and spring when the water temperatures are lower, it offers enormous advantages due to the way the fish feed and the way the You can increase the effectiveness of your rigs through the exploitation of more than one set of baits and bait formats. In fact, in my tests I found that even if a fish is not triggered by a form of bait with a particular flavor or amino acid profile, when that bait is only on one hair, and you have a different bait on another hair, then you are far you are more likely to catch it when you may not have. Things go way beyond this obvious example though and you can actually have a homemade worm extract and worm extract based bait together with worms and maggots on different hairs, just for example. These combo rigs work very well, especially when fishing gets more difficult and in the colder parts of winter. You can even spray liquid Tutti Fruitti flavored worms, or citrus extracts, emulsified essential oils, etc.

9. Only one way to beat off-the-shelf baits in situations where, for example, Mainline Cell is the dominant bait is to not use the proprietary base mix or mimicking approach at all and instead completely ignore the dominant bait. In truth, a dominant bait is simply an illusion. If anglers used worms or duck dung in the right place, they would catch fish, and if most do, it would appear that most are catching worms or duck dung, making them the dominant baits. Whichever premade bait currently catches the most fish, I can assure you that if you make your own highly potent homemade baits and refine them for your water, you can catch any popular premade bait, even without using many pounds of bait to set it up! ! A truly powerful bait will catch fish from the first cast! Powerful boilies or pellets etc. need not have concentrated flavors to be instant baits and in fact my general rule of thumb for a new and nutritionally exciting homemade bait is that it catches on first cast with no bait prior to conditioning the fish. absolutely. If you are afraid of competing with a dominant premade bait, then don’t. Just make your homemade baits totally different and refine them for your water in increments methodically; It is easy!

10. Just so you know, the quickest and most instant way to catch fish with a whole new bait recipe and to set up a new recipe that you want to use in a new water is to use paste baits instead of using haphazardly heated baits. . whatever! Give some thought to the reasons for this and apply them to the making of your baits as they really can make a world of difference to your catches!
