Carp Bait Recipe - Banana Cream Boilies 

Thanks Brian!

Thanks Chris! The benefits of fishing with pugs... great bait testers on the team! LOL!

Many thanks!

Hey Darren, the flax seed is totally optional. I happened to have some on hand so I added it to my mix. You’ll see people add ground flax to their mix but a pretty common alternative that people use for that black speck inside the boilie is niger seeds. However, if you don’t feel like adding a bunch of extra ingredients to your mix I would recommend leaving out the flax seed completely and your boilies will still turn out fine.

Big carp tackle my guy!

These boilies sink. Perfect for freebies or ground baits. Adversely, if you microwave them with this same recipe they float.

@@curlytailfishing So, if I microwave them instead of boil them they would float? But once I have boiled them they would sink even if I reheat them again in the microwave? I want them to float because it makes them more easily seen by the carp.

Yep, you got it. The big thing with them is that egg makes them float. If you make this mix try to make it with a couple of eggs and you will get them to float exactly the same mix as you would by boiling them.

​@@curlytailfishing Sorry to bother you one more time buddy, but I want to get this as correctly as I can since I am very interested in making this recipe that you show us. If I were to add 5-6 eggs (If it requires more eggs please let me know) to the amount that you make on the video and I boil the dough balls afterward, would they float or sink? Or do the dough balls only float if I microwave them, even after adding eggs? I'm asking this because I think the boiling process would probably give me a better consistency for the dough balls and cook more evenly, but I would only boil them if they would float afterward. Thanks again for taking the time to answering these questions of mine, I truly appreciate it!

Hey again! So what I would do is add 5-6 eggs and boil them. Boiling them creates the best consistency, in my opinion, because microwaving can cause inconsistencies in cooking temperature and it has caused me to burn the bottom of the boilies in the microwave. Make sure to do a trial run, if you pop them in the microwave before committing. If you boil them, they make outstanding bottom baits. Adversely, if you microwave them they float. Don’t make them too large or they wont float as well. I would recommend making them in the 12mm-16mm size range if you want them to float. Don’t be discouraged if they don’t turn out perfect the first time. It took me 3 times of making them before I was happy with them but just remember that the fish aren’t picky. Good luck and tight lines. Stay tuned because I will make some different videos similar to this one in the future but I hope this recipe works for you.

Probably the reason I wasn’t able to catch as many as I had hoped due to such a big water way. Happy to have caught a couple though.

You wanna make strawberry bollies ! Never fail !

Very strong! If you are looking for more scent, I recommend adding some banana extract like I did.
