EURO boillies

[staffordjonny]

ok just wana pick anyones brains thats here i have seen in a mag from kent particals that u can get 20k of EURO boillies for a fair price and was wondering if anyone knew what EURO boillies where? Would they be any good for a baiting campaign? after all if they catch in france etc surely they must catch here?? any help??

They are crap IMO if embarking on a baiting campaign you want to be using a bait that is good for the carp and has them coming back for more

They are probably high flavour soya/semo baits...I haven't used em but thats my guess....as NM says for a baiting campaign you're better off with something that is both nutritional and has some good natural attractors in it. It depends on the water you are going to be baiting really...fish stocks, size of the water, nuisance species. You could go for a 'baiting pyramid' approach and use particles supplemented with a few boilies to keep down on cost...attract all species into your chosen areas with the particles then sooner or later the big boys will muscle in provided you put enough in.....enough to take the attention of the roach,bream etc...and hopefully the carp will get in there and sample a few boilies..(use larger boilies 18mm +). I haven't undertaken any longterm baiting campaigns as such but introducing about 200 baits (14mm) a couple of times a week for a couple of weeks has given me some good results.....as has baiting a swim a few days before with about 400 baits..If you can keep putting a good quality bait into a water for a long period then the results can be amazing..I was lucky enough to get on a bait once that had really been piled into a water for a considerable length of time (12months plus) and my catch rate soared..Hope this helps

i would avoid anything called Euro boilies...... they will be cheap , over-flavoured crap that are sold under the false pretence that you can catch french carp on any old ****.

ha ha yep but isnt that meant to be true ?

id be a bit dubious about buying them perhaps email them and ask whats in them?wouldnt it be cheaper to roll your own?

hey quys thanks being as there r only really carp in the water the partial idea might work well, thanks for info will be stearing well clear of the EURO'S thanks ppl

Dont give up on them jonny, after all the only reply from someone who actually admits to using them first hand says hes 'had a pile of fish on them'

I used some of the scopex ones about 5 years ago, once bitten and that got a fikking good strong bucket with them which i still have tho
