Corn Flavoured boilie

[Newt]

Does anybody do a good one?

[radiofranky]

just add corn meal to it

[Newt]

Good idea but corn meal is ground from maize and lacks the natural sugars found in the sort of tinned corn that carp seem to think so highly of.

Hi Newt

 

Try liquidising a few tins of your usual yellow fellows and reduce the amount of egg's used in your base mix This stuff is a great binding agent and i have used it many a time as a binder for the method Not letting too much slip. You can also get it ready done in a few different flavours from Pescaviva.

Thanx dazler. Have to give that a try.

i have seen some ready mades around in local tackle shops, cant think who does them though, they also have luncheon meat ones.

Nash baits, thats the ones, tend to be good quality so i doubt youl go too far wrong.

why use a corn flavoured boilie when Corn will do the job just as good ? :confused:

 

it suprises me these bait companies come out with Sweetcorn flavoured boilies and luncheon meat flavoured boilies! WHY?? when the original stuff is just as effective ! might sound like a gripe but as they say the baits are there to catch the anglers, personally i wouldnt use a luncheon meat flavour boilie, prefer to bag up a few small cubes and free line it in the margins but again it comes down to personal preference and the sort of swim your fishing i suppose!

Chesh - corn does work fine in many situations but with a boilie I am lots more confident that I still have a bait on my rig after a while in the water with no takes. One species I target has a habit of playing with a bait for up to an hour before actually taking the bait and sweet corn is just way too soft. Maize is lots firmer but doesn't seem to offer nearly the attraction of corn.

 

I do usually opt for 'real' baits when fishing close as you do in the margins and where I plan to re-bait if there is no action in a short period.
