2 min read

If you're looking for a reliable bait to catch large carp and catfish, homemade boilies are a great option. In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to make turbo tuna boilies that are packed with tuna, oils, and greens.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups plain or soy flour
• 4 cups wholemeal bread crumbs
• 2/3 cup dried milk powder
• 1 cup semolina
• 2 cups frozen chopped spinach
• 2 normal-sized tins of tuna in brine
• 4 large eggs
• Garlic granules or powder (4 good pinches)
• Fish sauce
• Salt

Instructions:

1. Start by adding 4 cups of plain or soy flour to a large mixing bowl.
2. Add 4 cups of wholemeal bread crumbs to the mixing bowl.
3. Add 2/3 cup of dried milk powder to the mixing bowl.
4. Add 1 cup of semolina to the mixing bowl.
5. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
6. For the greens, use 2 cups of frozen chopped spinach. If you can't find frozen spinach, you can use fresh spinach and cook a small amount of it in water until it's fine and chopped. Then strain away the excess water.
7. Drain the brine from 2 normal-sized tins of tuna and add the tuna to the mixing bowl.
8. Add a few splashes of fish sauce and salt to the mixing bowl.
9. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
10. Crack 4 large eggs into the mixing bowl and mix everything together.
11. Add 4 good pinches of garlic granules or powder to the mixing bowl and mix everything together again.
12. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
13. After 4 hours, remove the dough from the refrigerator and knead the dry ingredients into the wet mix. This may take around 5 minutes, but don't rush this step. The dough should be slightly damp to the touch. If it's too dry, add a little bit of water.
14. Roll the dough into individual balls, about the size of a marble.
15. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the boilies for around 2 minutes.
16. Once cooked, strain off the boilies into a side bowl and tip them onto a kitchen towel to cool and air dry for 24 hours.
17. After 24 hours, the boilies can be fished with immediately or frozen for up to 6 months.

Homemade boilies are a great option for any angler who wants to catch more carp and catfish. With this recipe, you'll have high-quality boilies that are sure to attract plenty of fish on your next fishing trip.
