Default How long to boil B5 for?
Hi everyone,I've recently started making my own bait-been using B5 handy bucket and was just wondering how long I should boil my boilies for,I've been making 14mm and 18mm in size but have been ending up with very hard baits that feel like shelf life boilies. Has any got any experience of making this bait in this size and how long I should boil them for,any help would be greatly appreciated-cheers.
