Nutrabaits Trigga

[Rob Ward]

Has anyone else got any experience of "rolling their own" Triggas?

 

Firt time I tried they all floated to the top when I boiled them, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[MarkeR]

nothing wrong there mate,boilies do float to the top when you boil them...just leave them in till your boiling times up then scoop them out and leave to dry on a towel...you should find their ok after that.

rob i would also advocte you using the dip after they are cooled for your hookbaits ,as i find this increases the pulling power.trigga is my top bait and has caught some nice fish.cheers big al

Strange, I never had that happen when making mainline baits!

[Rob Ward]

Al - some questions if I may:

 

How many eggs do you use per pound of base mix?

 

How much liquid trigga do you add per egg in summer/winter?

 

How long do you boil your baits for?

[Gaffer]

Don't worry about it. I've rolled boilies using base mixes from Mainline, Rod Hutchinson, Quality Baits, Nutrabaits and John Baker, and they've all floated toward the end of their boiling process.

 

I will always allow to cool and air dry for 12 to 14hrs before testing their bouyancy (or lack of), before storing them in the freezer.

rob i normally make a 6 egg mix then add the flavour as per the bottle ,i think from memory its 2.5 ml per egg but could be 5 ml.

then add the base mix until the consistancy is right .

i then boil differant times on the boilies ,some for 1 min some for 2 and mark them ,these then go once dried as per gaffers instuction into a dip mix if hook baits ,or the feeezer if loose feed.

sometimes i add corn steep to the mix .

any other queries give me a mail,i could point out who not to get to roll the bait for you!!.cheers big al

Cheers Al, Nutrabaits recommend 5 to 10 ml per egg on the bottle.

 

Has anyone tried Trigga Ice?
