How long should I soak my boilies in water for to wash them out?

Tom Maker:

Washing my baits out is something I love to do all year round. As a rough guide, I try do it a few days before I’m going fishing to allow enough time for the boilies to wash out.

It also ensures that they take on the water and extra Cloudy Liquids that I add, whether that’s the Krill or Manilla. This gives the baits a washed out look, yet they remain packed full of attraction as they absorb all the goodness, whilst remaining immensely soft.

I would avoid leaving them too long in the bucket, especially in summer as the warmer water will increase the speed of which the boilie reacts and you’ll end up with a boilie that’s almost too washed out!
