Base Mix
Base Mix is literally a basic mix :) It's a composition of dry ingredients that serves as the foundation for making boilies. To this base, all you need to add are eggs to form your bait (not necessarily in ball shape). The vast majority of carp anglers also add their own ingredients to the Base Mix such as: extracts, liquid foods, flavors (scent attractants), taste enhancers, scents, dyes, etc. More experienced carp anglers can make their own Base Mix, but for beginners, it's recommended to use a ready-made one.
