FAQs
Are these boilies effective for barbel fishing?
Yes, The Source range has a long-standing reputation for being highly effective for specimen barbel.
Can I use these on any water?
While they are a 'go-to' choice for unknown waters, it is always best to check local venue rules regarding the use of fishmeal-based baits.
How do I store the 5kg bags correctly?
Keep them in the original packaging or a dedicated bait bucket in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Is the crunchy texture consistent throughout the boilie?
Yes, the crushed egg shell is evenly distributed within the bait mix to ensure a consistent texture throughout.
Do I need to soak these in liquid attractors?
The Source is already highly attractive; however, some anglers prefer to boost them with matching liquid attractors for winter fishing.
Troubleshooting
Boilies seem too hard to pierce with a standard needle
Use a specialized bait drill to create a pilot hole before inserting your hair-rig needle.
Bait surface feels slightly tacky
This is normal for high-oil content baits; ensure they are kept in a breathable bag or a cool, dry place to prevent excess sweating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, store your boilies in a cool, shaded environment to preserve the volatile attractors. When fishing on soft silt, consider using a lighter presentation or a pop-up version of the same range to ensure the bait remains visible. For best results, use a dedicated bait needle when hair-rigging, as the crunchy shell content can occasionally make piercing the hard boilie slightly more difficult than softer baits. Always seal the bag tightly after each session to prevent the bait from drying out or absorbing moisture from the surrounding environment.
