The Power Of Boilie Crumb

Boilie crumb is, without doubt, one of the most attractive forms of loose-feed and it’s quite clear why: not only does it provide a bed of super-soluble attraction, but it prolongs feeding responses, enticing fish to feed harder on the fine crumbed particles.

WHAT YOU NEED:

Trigga boilies
Trigga Liquid Food
Sweetcorn
Food processor 

1. The Crumb Ball Trick
By finely crumbling up your chosen boilie (use a food processor to achieve a real fine crumb) and then adding a healthy dose of liquid attractant, it will allow you to form small dense balls of crumbed boilie. These fall quickly through the water column, breaking down on impact with the lakebed, creating a lovely bed of crumbed attraction packed full of food signals, ready to create an awesome feeding response.

2. Hook protection 
Protect your hook point and achieve a better presentation with a small bag of boilie crumb. Depending on how compact you make the bag will affect the speed the rig falls through the water and settles on the bottom. If the lake is extremely silty, a soft squishy bag of crumb will help the rig settle effectively on top of the silt, enhancing the rig’s effectiveness under the given conditions.

3. Size variation 
Like any particle bait or boilie size, mixing the size of the crumbed boilie you use is an edge in itself. Mixing the sizes means the carp cannot regulate their feeding pattern on certain sized baits, which means the likeliness of a successful hookbait pick-up is much higher. 

4. Keep it simple
When it gets really cold that crumb really comes into its own. A very basic but effective mixture of crumb and sweetcorn has always had a proven track record in the winter, providing a basis of easily digestible food for the carp to eat and pass through their system quickly.
