Is supercast the best mieliebom ^^... I like using the supercast plain, just wanna find out if the braam stolz or trucella triggerfeed is better.

Most of the mieliebom on the market are worth looking at. The secret is in the preparation. Make it as soggy as possible so it almost runs off your hand and let it stand for at least 10-15min. After this time you can add a little dry feed if needed. Because the bomb is now saturated with moisture it will break up quickly in the water.

I dont know about ratios. I just mix it like i explained. Thats how enigma showed us at the clinic and it works.

What would the ratio be about, 2 cups dry feed to 1 cup water or 1 to 1.
Dis hy daai, 2 eenhede voer en 1 eenheid water. Op Loutjie Louwies se 'Werp sonder moeite' dvd veduidelik hy dit so.

My vraag is hou julle dit in 'n toe houer/emmer of 'n oop houer so deur die dag se hengel? Indien julle dit in 'n oop houer/emmer hou droog dit mos vinner uit. Hoe maak julle dan? Gooi julle net water by tot die tekstuur reg is om 'n bom te maak of maak julle soos in die begin van jou hengel sessie dat jy dit nat maak en vir 15 - 20 min laat staan?

GregB1 if your bomb takes to long to break up just put some wild birdseed in your mix, this is an extra attractor and help with the break-up as well.

Yes Skuimkop!

Ek maak regtig redelik min hoeveelhede op 'n slag aan (5 liter emmertjie so kwart vol), gewoonlik is daar een of twee stroppe klaar gelaai met mieliebom wat ek dan ook in my emmertjie laat le sodat mens net weer op die snapswiwel aan jou hooflyn kan clip.

Ek hou my emmertjie toe, dan droog hy nie so vinnig uit nie, ek probeer ook die emmer nie in die son laat le nie, veral as ek gemaalde kaboem bysit, hy word def suur na so ruk.

GregB1 : You can add the pellets you use to feed rabits as well. Not to much, otherwise your Mealiebom wont bind as good and break in the air when you cast.(saw those pellets mixed with whole and minced kaboem works great with a baitboat)

If you play with the mieliebom will it get stickier the more you play with it.
That is basicly what you do to get it on your sinker but time is of the essence as well so you don't want to sit the whole time working with your bom to get it more 'sticky'. If you want it to be more sticky put some Fishmeal with your feed. This is also an ekstra attractor and does the opposite as what the wild bird seeds do. Fish simply loves the stuff but be warned that includes barbel. I don't mind catching them so I always use it in my mix. It can also replace the use of koi or trout pellets as flavourant.

The problem with the particles bigger than the wild bird seeds is that your bom falls apart more easily when you cast, and this frustrates the living 'poef' hehehe out of me.

I personally mix Supercast with Eco Catch's or the Original's (Barry van Niekerk) FINE feed together. Depends which one I can find. I prefer Eco tho. I mix 2/3 Supercast and 1/3 Eco or Original. This for me cuts out the 10 - 20 min waiting time which Super cast feeds require. I then mix a bit of fish meal with that just for the ekstra attractor factor (listen to that haha). If I go to a venue which is known for good tempo fishing I also ad the wildbird seeds and even some hemp seeds. Note: If I must cast far for the fish I leave out the wildbird seeds and hemp because of the greater force used that breaks up you bom during the cast.

Shoe a mouth full but I hope it helps.

Hi,
ek vang met n oop emmer, maar sit n skoon nat lap in die emmer om klam te hoe. Ek hou dit ook uit die sonlig.

Ek maak my voer so n kwart van die emmer size, sodat ek gereeld nuwe voer moet maak. Ek vervang ook my water emmer elke keer as ek nuwe bom maak.

Ek like om Karamel KOO pitte by the voeg in die bom of ek sal bietjie chick chick meng om die voerbol te suppliment.

Hoop dit help.

I leave mine open. If it feel a bit too dry I just wet my hand a little and as soon as you start forming the bomb it is fine again. Another tip I might add is to keep the particles in the bucket loose from each other as this helps trap air inside as soon as you form the bomb which also helps in the breaking up of it in the water.

As jy bietjie gewig soek in jou bom kan jy mielierys bysit. Nie te veel nie, maar net genoeg sodat jou bom nogsteeds lekker bind.

Greg. Try this one also. Takes a little time to prepare.
Two handsfull of wild bird seed in your plastic bucket.
Cover with water to about 20mm above the seed. Microwave for 10 minutes on high. This will give you a "snotterige" mix.
Now mix in supercast plain in small quantities untill you get a fluffy mixture. (trial&error). After about 1 hour, if you take a handful and press, it should bind immediately. Quite dry. Then add a can of koo whole kernel corn, (drained). I cast with this mixture about 120-130m on a M3 weight without the bomb falling off. It also dissolves in about 10min.
No use when a comp angler. Then time is a big factor...
