In the 20th century, Western European fishermen pondered how to make the contact of a careful fish with a hook effective. The solution was the invention of hair accessories and boilies. Their use allows you to place the nozzle near a sharp fishing tip, as a result of which the fish swallows not only the ball, but also the hook. Information on how to cook do-it-yourself boilies at home is provided in the article.
Acquaintance
Boyles are a special fishing equipment in the form of flour balls. For their manufacture, dry and liquid substrates are used. On the shelves of specialized stores a wide range of boilies is presented, the sizes of which vary from 0.5 to 3 cm.
About composition
Fishing balls are composed of components with nutritional value, structural integrity, enticing aroma and taste, and sometimes a special color. Boilies should contain the right amount of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, proteins and fats.
As a dry base for boilies, rice, corn, semolina and wheat groats are used. Sprouted wheat and milk powder are also added here. The liquid base is represented by the protein of chicken eggs.
To make a single mass of ingredients, it is necessary to make a boil with your own hands using binders. For this purpose, you can take wheat gluten or flour. Chicken eggs have excellent binding properties.
Judging by the numerous reviews, do-it-yourself boilies will have an attractive aroma, color and taste for the fish, if the master uses various fillers.
For the manufacture of flavors, a special base is needed - meat and bone, peanut, soy or fish flour. You can also use fish food. Despite the fact that there is a wide range of branded fishing balls on the shelves, most fishermen make their own boilies at home. Recipes for cooking nozzles are presented below.
Judging by numerous reviews, handicraft balls are no less catchy than branded ones. In addition, making a boil with your own hands, the fisherman can save.
About Flavors
According to consumers, these ingredients are sold ready-made. Nevertheless, most fishermen like to experiment and make boilies with an individually selected composition.
For fishing balls use pulp, sunflower flakes, dill, fennel, flax and hemp. In addition, vanilla, garlic, ground almonds, anise and curry can be used as flavorings. According to some fishermen, in addition to fennel, dill and sunflower seeds, a Croatian recipe is a good stimulant for digestion of fish. To make its base, use a grape snail, which is subjected to a grinding procedure.
About cooking technology. Where to begin?
For beginners who decide to make a boil with their own hands, experienced fishermen recommend first of all to familiarize themselves with the technology for making baits. According to experts, it is the same for all fishing balls. It will be easy to make boilies on carp with your own hands, if you follow the following sequence of actions:
- Get the necessary ingredients.
- Using a coffee grinder, the raw materials are carefully ground. The resulting mixture should be well mixed.
- Prepare several separate containers for liquid components. You can also drive chicken eggs here, if they are provided for in the recipe.
DIY boilies on carp. Continuation
After the basics for the bait are ready, they can be combined by pouring dry ingredients into a container with liquid. The resulting mixture is thoroughly mixed. As experienced fishermen recommend, you need to knead so much that a doughy substance is formed.
It is desirable that it is not sticky and has a dense consistency. You can achieve the desired result by experimenting with the number of eggs used.
Final stage
The doughy mass must be divided in such a way as to produce several long sausages. In the future, they will be cut into pieces, from which it will be possible to sculpt boilies with their own hands.
The recipes for making these balls can be very different. However, home-made production of any fishing balls should be completed by boiling.
For those who cook with their own hands floating boilies, the cooking procedure is recommended to be replaced by heat treatment. A microwave is suitable for this purpose. Before use, the balls must be cool. Experienced fishermen handicraft boilies are placed in freezers.
About Floating Fishing Balls
Judging by the numerous reviews, floating boilies are considered the most common type. They are intended for water bodies, for which a muddy bottom or very dense underwater vegetation is characteristic. It will not be difficult to notice such a bait for fish.
They use floating boilies in the summer, when, due to the intense heat, the fish is mainly deployed in the upper water layer in search of oxygen. Since floating boilies are located far from the bottom, they have a long attractive aroma for fish. The composition of the balls is the usual ingredients. However, heat treatment is mandatory for them. Balls are porous and loose.
It should not be forgotten that such nozzles from a long stay in water are able to deform and disintegrate. Those who decide to cook home-made boilies with their own hands, experts recommend using more flavors. This is due to the fact that a lot of smells are “eaten up” by the microwave. In addition, a floating boilie will not sink if equipped with a large amount of milk powder.
About Cooking Floating Nozzles
Boilies are prepared on the basis of milk powder, ground poultry feed, corn, rice and wheat flour. Before proceeding with the preparation, the following ingredients should be prepared:
- soluble fish protein (200 g);
- fish and wheat flour (200 g each);
- betanine (15 g);
- rice flour and milk powder (100 g each);
- sprouted wheat (50 g);
- wheat bran (80 g).
Before use, it is advisable to check the bait in a container of water. If the boilies are made correctly, then they must first sink to the bottom, and then emerge.
About sinking boilies. How to cook?
This type of bait is used for reservoirs with a clean and hard bottom. Also, boilies are used for fishing in places with a strong current. Instead of heat treatment, cooking is used in this case.
So that the balls do not disintegrate in water and have a dense shell, they must be placed in the freezer at the end of manufacture. Prior to freezing, it is recommended to dry the boilies. To make floating boilies at home, you need to cook:
- wheat flour (300 g);
- poultry feed and rice flour (100 g each);
- wheat bran (75 g);
- milk powder (60 g);
- soluble fish protein (200 g);
- sea salt and sprouted wheat (50 g each);
- betaine (15 g).
According to experienced fishermen, it is better if the boilies contain a large number of flavors and colors. The size of the balls should not be too large.
About Makukha Boilies
Judging by the numerous reviews, good drowning and floating lures are obtained from the flies. In the manufacture of sinking boilies, steam cooking is used, and for floating ones, microwave processing.
Balls should be boiled for no more than three minutes. Then the boilies are neatly laid on a grid and dried for one week.
It is recommended to mix them sometimes. Keep fishing balls in the freezer. Boyles are made from the following ingredients:

About soluble nozzles
This type of bait among fishermen is also called "dusting". This name is due to the fact that in water, boilies are able to quickly decompose, forming a cloud of aromatic components in the form of dust particles.
For the manufacture of soluble balls, heat treatment is not provided. The bait is simply thoroughly dried. Judging by the numerous reviews, it is better to knead not eggs, but binders. For this purpose, it is recommended to use syrup, molasses and honey. Dusting boilies can be prepared from the following products:
