Boilies That Smell Good Enough To Eat

[Elton]

I was baiting up with some Quest Baits Fruity Trifle the other day and was seriously tempted to eat one. Obviously, I didn't actually do it, but they smelt so good!

 

If you had to eat a particular boilie, which one would it be? And if you say "Monster Crab", then you need help...

Hi Elton,

 

Well I don't think they would do you any harm!!!

When I filmed Shaun recently his comment in front of the Rahja was..."The smell makes me want a curry!!" LOL

 

We often used to taste our ready made boilies... even Monster Crab though I must say.. it was this way I noticed they actually all tasted pretty much the same... semolina with a flavour and sweetner.. in fact all tastes like semolina with a flavour and a sweetner.

 

I think though that despite what he claims, Shaun actually prefers the Korma I knock up in my camper van on the bank...

 

cheers

Ibought some tutti fruiti boilies and they smell delicious,so I tried one and it tasted awful. the white chocolate ones smell nice too but I've already learned my lesson so I'll stick to cheese and onion sandwiches.

White Chocolate and Tutti Fruiti.

I made up some floaters with Rod Hutchinson's Ultra-spice, which were so nice that I really did end up eating most of them. If they had been put out as snacks at a party I would have been well impressed.

when I made my own boilies, I used to taste all the ones I made.

 

If they tasted sour or had a chemical taste like some flavourings do, I used to bin them.

 

Never did like the taste of Solar's Squid & Octopus Koi rearer

Same as Si.Its amazing how bitter some of the "sweet" smells/flavours can actually taste if you dont get the amount of sweetner correct. Ive found EA based flavours the worst.

 

Years ago when I was associated with a bait firm I was amazed how much bait one of the customers was going through."Big Clive" was well over 30 stone and a well known charecter on the Kent angling scene back in the late 80's.When I was talking to him on the banks of Nicholls Quarry I asked him about the amount of bait he was using. He replied by reaching into his cool box and picking out a boillie which he promptly popped in his mouth. "Im on the 2:1 baiting scheme Budge" he told me.

 

When I asked him what that was he replied " two for me and one for the fish!"

 

He ate them like sweets! Tropicana being his favourite..............
