Flours & Grains — Intro Block

Flours & Grains in Boilie Mixes

Flours and grains don’t get much attention, but they quietly control how your bait rolls, binds, breaks down, and fishes.

Semolina, wheat flour, maize, rice flour, oat products, and similar ingredients provide structure and bulk — but they also influence hardness, leakage speed, and how long your boilies stay intact on the lakebed.

In Michigan waters, where temperature swings are huge and sessions are often shorter, getting this balance right matters.

These guides cover:

• What each flour or grain actually does in a mix
• How they affect boil time and breakdown
• Seasonal adjustments for cold vs warm water
• How to combine them with proteins for consistent results

Think of flours as the chassis of your bait. Get this part right, and everything else works better.
