FAQs
Are these boilies freezer-friendly?
While they are shelf-life, you can freeze them if you have extra bait left over after a session to keep them fresh for longer.
Can I use these for barbel fishing?
Yes, The Source is highly effective for specimen barbel, especially in larger rivers.
What is the primary ingredient that gives it the color?
The bait contains Haiths Robin Red, which provides both the deep red color and a characteristic spicy aroma.
How long do they last once the bag is opened?
If kept sealed in a cool, dry, and dark place, they will remain effective for many weeks after opening.
Is the crushed eggshell harmful to the fish?
No, the eggshell is a natural ingredient used to provide texture and is completely safe for fish to consume.
Should I use a boilie stop with these?
Yes, due to the firm nature of the boilie, a standard plastic boilie stop or hair-stop is recommended to keep the bait secure on the rig.
Troubleshooting
Bait is too hard to pierce with a needle
Use a sharp, specialized bait drill to create a pilot hole before inserting your hair-rig needle.
Bait loses attractiveness in cold water
Glug the boilies in a matching liquid attractant 24 hours before your session to increase the scent dispersion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your boilies, ensure they are kept in a cool, dry place. While they are shelf-stable, keeping the bags sealed between sessions prevents the bait from drying out excessively or picking up unwanted environmental odors. For best results, pair these boilies with The Source liquid attractants or dips to boost the scent trail during cooler months. When hair-rigging, the dense composition of the boilie allows for easy drilling and mounting with standard baiting needles without cracking.
