Boilies
A boilie is a small, ball-shaped, compressed fishing bait, usually used as a feeder material or hookbait in fishing, especially for carp. It is essentially a kneaded, baked or boiled ball, consisting of various ingredients such as fishmeal, cereals, plant-based materials or aromatic substances. The production of boilies is a complex process. Typically, the dough ingredients are mixed, formed, then boiled or steamed. After this, they may be treated with different flavors, aromas or colorants to make them more attractive to fish. Boilies are available in a wide range on the market, in different sizes, flavors and colors. These baits are relatively durable and resistant, and generally work well for carp fishing or fishing for other fish species. A wide selection of boilies awaits you on the TackleBait Website, from manufacturers such as BaitBait, Haldorádó or Mainline.
A 'pop-up boilie' is a special type of fishing bait. It gets its name from the fact that when the boilie enters the water, it starts to “float” and rises to the surface or hovers just a few centimeters below the surface. These boilies are mostly filled with air or other buoyant material, which allows them not to sink in the water, but to remain on or near the surface. This characteristic can be particularly useful because the boilies thus become easily noticeable to fish. Pop-up boilies are generally used as feeder material or hookbaits and are available in various sizes, colors, and flavors. Anglers often use pop-up boilies to raise the hook level in the water, making them stand out more and become more attractive to fish. These baits can be particularly effective, for example, in carp fishing.
