dough ball recipe

[ChrisCarter]

I seem to remember someone talking about using the juice from tuna fish cans to make dough balls. Anyone heard of such a recipe?

The only doughballs that I've seen work....and work good...were for carp. They had a sweet smell...vanilla. The guy would give me a couple lbs of doughballs but would never tell me what was in 'em. He acted like it was a long family secret or something. Pfffft!RoflRoflRofl

Wheaties ceral and water makes good dough balls for Carp and Buffalo.

You can make dough balls any flavor you want -- even no flavor. Most fish love bread. It's an awesome bait.

FYI, if you're really interested in this google "boilies". They're small, hard dough balls that make great carp/catfish bait.

Not necessarily dough ball, but you can mix raw burger, or water soaked dry dog food, with flour and melted limburger cheese. Melt the cheese in milk, and add enough flour to get the consistancy for the bait to hold to a hook. I've fished this bait for the last 20 years, and it will put channel cats in the boat on just about any water.

You can use corn meal, can't you?

nevermind, i am going to need flour to make it consistent enough to knead it into dough.

VEGETABLE OIL! That's what i am missing. Couldn't figure out why the dough was sticking to my fingers while i was kneading it. Tuna juice, butter-soaked corn, honey, corn meal, flour and veggie oil. Hope it works.
