its alot easyer than people think mate,if you want to give it a go mate have a look on AA BAITS they have some realy good base mixes and addatives,its cheaper to make your own and it dont take as long as you think mate,all you need is a boile gun a rolling table,you will get nearly 3 kg of boiles out of 1 kg of basemix.plus it more of a buzz when you catch a carp on baits you have made yourself.my mate caught his pb of 35lb10oz on a local water useing home made baits,try useing a nut base mix and grined down some salted peanuts in a blenda and add them to the base mix carp love it mate.
