The difference between the two...

[Guest Chris Playle]

This is probably an easy question for those in the know. This is why I'm posting it here. It's just something that's been bugging me for a while.

 

What's the difference between BEANIES and BOILIES ??? Is there any difference in the makup of the two? Are they made the same way as boilies with a base mix, flavouring and alike ???

 

Many thanks to those that reply.

I've never heard of them. From the picture they could be a different shaped boilie or a pellet type bait, whatever they weren't designed for use with throwing sticks

Hi all, the ones I've got are the same makeup as a boilie.

 

I've made my own by using a smaller gun nozzle than the table, eg, gunned out 12mm sausages which are then rolled on a 16mm table.

 

They are just a different shape that the carp aren't used to.

When you bung 'em out, do some of them come back ? The one illustrated lower right in the picture looks like a mini-boomerang.....

They look like boilies pretending to be nuts. Well I suppose that helps round here.

D'oh! *S*

 

So THAT'S what I've been fishing with all these years! I thought boilies were supposed to be that shape!
