Make your own Gel baits
I have been asked by Carp Baits Online to produce an article for them on making baits, now I thought about this and I could have done another how to make boilies or stick mixes article but I wanted to give you something different. With this in mind I decided to rewrite my guide on making biodegradable plastic (gel baits).
Okay so in this guide I will show you how to make a fairly tough plastic gel bait that will leak flavourings fairly quickly but will dissolve in water if it happens to come off. Fantastic for topping boilies, hair rigging on its own or even cut down to use as hook baits.
You will need the following ingredients;
6g Glycerine
22g Gelatin (unflavoured from the supermarket)
114ml Hot Water
1g Powdered Food Colouring (Mainline are brilliant)
2ml Flavouring (Nutrabaits are very good for this due to their strength)
5ml Additive (such as CSL or GLM powder)
3g Potassium Sorbate Granules
Now add all of the ingredients together into a small saucepan stirring constantly until there are no clumps of mixture left.
Put the saucepan on cooker/stove and heat until it starts to "froth". Make sure you stir the mixture constantly while you are waiting for it to "froth". As soon as your mixture froths remove it from the heat and keep stirring. With a spoon scoop out the excess froth making sure there are no lumps or clumps in the mixture.
Pour the hot liquid directly into your molds you can use whatever molds you like but I use a lot of Fritz Germany molds as they are ideal for using to create the shapes you want. Set the mold aside to dry, this will happen quicker if you place it in the fridge. Once dry, remove your bait from the molds and trim any excess off.
If you want a harder bait use less Glycerine, if you want your bait softer use more Glycerine. It may take several days for your bait to dry completely depending on humidity and temperature of where your drying it so please be patient as you will end up with a safe and biodegradable alternative plastic bait.
God luck and have fun with your new high attract bait.
