A Liquid Attractant is also available.

Key features:
- Terry Hearn’s favourite summer bait
- Includes famous fish attractor Robin Red
- Made using Fresh Fish recipe
- Shelf life and freezer baits available

“My number one choice of bait over the past couple of years and one which has already accounted for the biggest residents of several different venues. Remove the doubt, get on the Red Fish! Terry Hearn

what dynamite say:

The Source
This is a bait that needs no introduction: The Source is Dynamite Bait's biggest-selling boilie of all time and is responsible for putting thousands of carp on the banks.
It was created from Terry Hearn’s own recipe and is made from 100 per cent natural ingredients. The boilie is made-up of a combination of high protein fishmeal and bird food, together with crushed egg shell which gives The Source its unique texture and makes it easier for a carp to digest.
Its distinctive red colour is down to liberal quantities of Robin Red being used. This is what also gives the bait its spicy flavour.
The Source has accounted for a wide variety of fish from huge 50lb+ carp in the UK and Europe through to bumper bags of smaller fish. It really is a bait that carp of all sizes find irresistible.

Key features:
- Dynamite Bait’s biggest-selling boilie of all time!
- Made from the finest bird foods and fishmeals

Just had to post this as i've had some extraordinary results on these during this freezing winter.
I've been baiting up an area of my local syndicate with about 500g of 10mm boilies all autumn (twice a week) in a large 5m x 5m square at about 30 yards range.
I had caught 6 carp in October and November (which is good for the lake) going up to 29lb, but in the weekend just gone, i had 7 in a 24hr session. (between 16lb & 25lb)
I've been looking for a winter bait for about 5 years, and i think this is the one! The boilies are the same colour as the normal tigernut boilies and give off a lovely chocalately smell (like cocoa powder) and i'd defo reccomend them to anyone for the winter months.

just thought it would be interesting to see what boilies you all have tried making and whats worked best,

sofar ive tried blackstone carps dogfood boilies,

I then went to changing his mix by adding different flavours into the dogfood,

I added tuna in sunflour oil and used the tuna oil in the wet mix, sofar this has proven to be a real carp catcher, in 4 sessions ive had about 20 runs on these boilies and about 14 carp landed,

Ive made garlic and cinnomin, they didnt work so well,

peanut butter boilies (awaiting a test)

and today I mixed up some king prawn and dogfood boilies, hoping to try them out thursday along with the peanut butter,

hey everyone, just got back from a session after trying out some homemade boilies,

I handrolled about 100 for hookbaits and then rolled about 1.8kg of the boilie mix snakes, made them nice and thin so there wouldnt be any huge bits, then started simply chopping away with a knife,

took about 500grams of the smaller almost trout pellet like bait, mixed with a good kilo and a half of corn and used that as my groundbait,

advantage of this is, your throwing in a smaller sample of what your boilie taste is, so you dont overfeed the carp and keep them searching for more, hopefully to come across the same scent in the shape of a little round ball ;)

had 3 nice fish today, 2 others managed to get me into the lillys and spit me, was only fishing for 6 hours or so, first was a 12lb common second was a 10lb common and the 3rd was a 7lb common,

just thought id share this for those of us who handroll our boilies and I hope it helps, thanks for...
