Comprehensive product ranges
Some protein boilie ranges offer complementary products in addition to the boilies, to meet the demands of today's fishing industry. These products, used independently or in combination with boilies, have been formulated according to the different attractive principles of each "taste" (spicy, meaty, fruity, etc.). These products, like the boilies described in our first article, are totally natural or supplemented with synthetic products. Like the boilies described in our first article, these by-products can be used in all seasons.
Pellets
Available in a wide range of designs, pellets have become a must-have. They are manufactured according to the same formula as boilies to obtain the same gustatory and olfactory messages. They allow you to play on a different, but complementary, diffusion. They can be used in soluble bags, soluble nets or added to different types of primers (groundbait balls, pure primers, sticks, coating paste, etc.).
Although they can be used as they are, these pellets can be impregnated with liquids such as the dip from your favorite boilie, or sprinkled with the flours used to make the mix. The possibilities are endless.
Soluble boilies
They are formulated according to the same principles as your favorite boilie, but melt in a few hours. Between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the water temperature and the brand of boilie chosen.
Coating pastes
Available in several designs, this raw paste will enable you to cover your sinker or simply your bait. It will gradually dissolve, leaving behind a carpet of highly attractive particles. Thanks to its strong sticking power, it's easy to add pellets, seeds, crushed boilies or other mini baits. Here again, customization is infinite. Note that it resists even the hardest casts. Its dissolving time depends on water temperature, but it works just as well in warm or cold water.
Although raw, these coating pastes keep perfectly well over time, as long as they are commercially produced (preservative...). These coating pastes are often available in each boilie range (spicy, fruity, meaty...). Alternatively, you can make your own coating paste by melting the above-mentioned pellets, for example.
Mix-type flours
These flour blends are often formulated to the same specifications as your favourite boilie. This groundbait works quickly in water. Used in lead paste, balls or sticks, it will create instant activity around the rig, arousing the curiosity of carp. These "Mixes" have effective sticky properties that enable them to easily agglomerate particles of all kinds (ground boilies, pellets...). This is an undeniable advantage when it comes to personalizing approaches according to the needs of the moment.
Drying hard boilies
These are very hard boilies which you can still dry if necessary, and which will continue to harden on contact with water. They are ideal for dealing with unwanted guests such as cats, crayfish...
Dips
All-natural liquid attractant formulated according to the active principles of the chosen concept (spicy, meaty, fruity...). This Dip can be used to coat your boilies, pellets... The Dip can be used to wet your Mixes or to soak your fishing boilies over a longer or shorter period of time, depending on the desired effect. For the best brands, Dips are PVA friendly, meaning they are compatible with soluble bags, for example. The uses are numerous and not limited to those mentioned above, but whatever the case, the attractiveness of your bait will be enhanced.
Soaked boilies
These are your favorite protein boilies dipped in the corresponding Dip. They're then siped through to make them highly attractive, for a long time to come.
Boosters
High-quality, highly concentrated liquid for customizing and enhancing the taste and smell of your bait (boilies, pop-ups, etc.). Simply pour a few drops into a jar to impregnate the bait perfectly. The result is a unique bait. Boosters can be combined for maximum customization.
Pop-ups
These are the same boilies, but in a floating version. They are often available in a wide range of diameters. There may also be a version of floating boilies in synthetic or even flashy colors.
The balanced ones
A balanced version of your favorite protein boilie. They allow you to present the bait unstuck. In this case, it's the hook that acts as the counterbalance. The size of the hook is the key to the perfect presentation.
The ranges of the leading boilie brands are therefore often complete with numerous by-products. This makes it possible to propose different fishing strategies with baits that are always totally natural or with synthetic products (spicy, meaty, fruity, etc.).
