Here is a quick step by step on how I made a seasons worth of bait in about an hour.
First off you obviously need some ingredients. I am using the S7 liquid food, some sweet aide, Mainlines Polaris pop up mix and some red and white bait dye with a single large egg.
Once you have cracked your egg in a clean bowl add your liquids to it and give it a good thorough mix ensuring all of the egg is combined.
Now add your colouring. I have added a red with a small amount of white powder dye.
Now slowly add your pop up mix to the egg, combine it as well as you can with a fork but you will have to get your hands in there and bind it all together.
It should then resemble a firm but not sticky mixture.
Once you are done mixing, transfer it to a plastic bag or similar to stop it drying out while you prepare your water for boiling.
With the water on the boil it is now time to prepare your baits. I used a Gardner 14mm rolling table.
Once the baits have been boilied for their allotted time, 2.30 minutes, let them dry out for a few hours on a tea towel before transferring to an air drying bag for around 48hrs before putting them in a pop up pot. I add a small amount of the liquid food to the pop ups which they will soak in pretty much immediately I then will add some more liquid to them again in a few days time.
And that's about it. A quick break down on how I made a seasons worth of custom hookbaits in just a few hours.
