First formulated in the 1970's, Boilies are now one of the most established carp baits, available in such a huge range of colours and flavours. Carp anglers are willing to spend lots on boilies in hope that it will put a carp on the bank which is of a substantial size. The most common tactic for presenting a boilie is the use a hair rig which allows the boilie to sit off the hook making the chance of catching a higher possibility.
