Conclusion
Boilies are perfect for hair rigs, which are easy to tie and offer a higher hookup ratio with less bait loss. To use boilies for hair rigs, you will need a bait stop and a baiting needle. Simply slip the boilie onto the hair and leave the hook point completely exposed. For a slow-dissolving paste bait, use uncooked boilie dough and combine it with a method lead.
Making homemade carp fishing boilies is a fun and easy way to take your fishing to the next level. By experimenting with different flavors, scents, and ingredients, you can create boilies that are uniquely suited to your fishing environment and target species.
