Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Coarse anglers after a food-led hookbait. The 12mm size is a sensible match or commercial-fishery option, especially when you want something more substantial than a basic pellet.
- Carp anglers wanting one bait for most of the year. The balanced protein profile, bloodworm content and fast- and slow-release energy sources give it a broad all-season role.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers fishing ultra-light, sweet-bait approaches. This is a rich, savoury fishmeal bait rather than a creamy, fruity or highly sugary option.
- Anyone needing the quietest possible bait in clear water. The rich red colour is useful in plenty of situations, but a natural brown or washed-out bait may be more discreet on a clear lakebed.

Quick verdict
Verdict
Sticky Baits Bloodworm Boilies are a cracking choice when you want a proper food bait with a rich fishmeal base and more going on than a one-note pellet-style smell. Real bloodworm, LT-94 fishmeal, crustacean extracts, milk proteins and blood plasma give the bait a broad, meaty profile.
The red colour and three size options make them dead handy for everything from quick coarse sessions to a longer carp campaign. They’re not the cheapest sort of bait to chuck about without thinking, but the shelf life, all-season brief and food-led make-up give you plenty to work with.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Sticky Baits Bloodworm Boilies
Sticky Baits Bloodworm Boilies are aimed at anglers who want a proper food bait, not some dainty little number that only works when the stars align. They’re shelf-life boilies built around real bloodworm and a predominantly fishmeal recipe, with enough going on to make them useful from a quick commercial session right through to a longer carp campaign.
The recipe starts with LT-94 fishmeal, then brings in milk proteins, soluble fish proteins, crustacean extracts and blood plasma. That’s a tasty bit of bait-building, mate. It gives you a broad savoury profile rather than a single loud whiff, so the bait feels relevant whether you’re fishing a silty lake, a hard-bottomed gravel pit or a busy match lake with fish seeing plenty of pellets.
Real bloodworm is the headline ingredient, and rightly so. Bloodworm is a familiar natural food for loads of coarse fish, especially when they’re grubbing around in soft sediment. It doesn’t mean you need to fish it only in winter, though. The bait is designed as an all-season food source, so you can keep it in the armoury when the weather is doing its usual daft thing.
There’s also Robin Red in the mix, adding to the rich, meaty character and giving the finished boilie its deep red colour. That colour can be a proper edge when you need a hookbait to stand out over dark silt or among weed. Equally, if the water is gin-clear and the fish are suspicious, you may prefer to balance it with a darker presentation or a light coating of lakebed muck.
The smell is subtle and complex rather than a full-on tackle-box assault. That’s a good thing for anglers who don’t want a bait announcing itself from the next county. You get the fishmeal and marine notes, but there’s more underneath from the bloodworm, crustacean elements and proteins. It’s the sort of profile that can sit in a swim without feeling a bit naff or over-engineered.
Nutritionally, the bait is built to do more than just grab a quick bite. Sticky Baits includes fast- and slow-release energy sources, along with naturally sourced vitamins and minerals. In plain English, there’s an immediate attraction angle and a longer food signal too. That’s useful when you’re trying to turn a few pick-ups into a proper feeding spell rather than nicking one fish and watching the rods go quiet.
The size range is spot on for coarse anglers. The 12mm baits are handy when smaller carp, F1s or mixed fish are the target, while 16mm gives you a nice middle ground for general carp fishing. The 20mm option is the one to reach for when nuisance fish are being a pain, or when you want a more substantial hookbait for a bigger-water approach.
Pack sizes are equally practical. A 1kg bag makes sense if you’re trying the bait on a new venue or fishing short sessions. The 5kg bag is better for regular anglers who have a campaign in mind and want to keep the same food source going. As a shelf-life bait, it’s also dead handy: no freezer faff, no last-minute panic because the bait’s been forgotten at the back of the freezer.
On the bank, you can fish these boilies straight from the bag, chop them into a spod or feeder mix, or crumb them around a hair-rigged hookbait. Keep it tight and restrained in cold water, then increase the amount when fish are properly on the munch. For a coarse match, a few chopped 12mm baits can add interest without feeding the swim like you’re hosting Sunday lunch.
Overall, Bloodworm Boilies look like a versatile, food-led option for anglers who want one dependable profile across different venues and seasons. They’re not trying to be sugary, flashy or clever for the sake of it. They’re a rich red fishmeal bait with real bloodworm, plenty of usable sizes and enough flexibility to earn a regular spot in the bait bag.

Our take
Why these boilies stand out
The big selling point is the combination of real bloodworm with a proper fishmeal-led recipe. Bloodworm brings a familiar natural angle, while LT-94 fishmeal, soluble fish proteins, crustacean extracts and blood plasma build a richer food signal around it.
That makes Bloodworm a versatile bait rather than a narrow seasonal specialist. The subtle, complex smell won’t bully a swim, while the rich red finish gives you a clear hookbait and loosefeed option in murky water, over silt or among darker lakebed debris.
What you’re buying
A rich red boilie with plenty in the mix
The core recipe is predominantly fishmeal-based, using LT-94 fishmeal alongside milk proteins and soluble fish proteins. Crustacean extracts, blood plasma, real bloodworm and Robin Red add more depth, so the bait has a proper savoury character rather than a thin, one-dimensional smell.
It’s finished in a rich red colour and uses a natural preservative to extend shelf life. That makes it easy to store and grab before a session. The three diameters cover delicate coarse-fishing presentations, general carp work and bigger hookbait jobs where you want to dodge smaller fish.
Worth knowing. The subtle, complex smell is an advantage if you like a food signal that builds naturally. Don’t expect a loud, instant fruit aroma. This is more meaty, marine and bloodworm-led.
On the bank
A flexible bait for mixed fishing
For coarse and match anglers, 12mm Bloodworm Boilies can be chopped, crushed or fished whole on a hair. They’re useful when pellets are getting hammered but you still want a familiar food profile. A few around the hookbait can add something different without turning the swim into a banquet.
Carp anglers have the wider size range to play with. Use 16mm as the easy all-rounder, then move to 20mm when nuisance fish are rife or you want a bigger mouthful. In cold water, keep loosefeed sensible. Once the fish are on the munch, the fast- and slow-release energy approach gives you more reason to build a feeding spot.
The red finish can help over dark bottoms and in coloured water. In clear, pressured venues, try presenting it neatly on a short hair or tone it down with a coating of lakebed debris. A balanced rig or simple bottom-bait presentation keeps the focus on the bait’s natural food angle.
Quick answers
The stuff you’ll want to know
Can you use Bloodworm Boilies all year? Yes. They’re designed as an all-season food bait, with naturally sourced vitamins and minerals plus fast- and slow-release energy sources. Just match the amount you feed to the conditions.
Are they only for carp? No. The 12mm size is particularly useful for coarse fish and mixed venues, while the larger sizes are more carp-focused. Chop them for feeder work or fish them on a hair when you need a clean hookbait.
How much should you feed? Start modestly, especially in cold water or on an unfamiliar venue. Add a few whole, chopped or crumbed baits once you see signs of fish feeding. There’s no prize for emptying the bag before bite-time.
On paper

- All-season recipe with both fast- and slow-release energy sources.

How can I fish them effectively?
Use a matching Bloodworm boilie on the hair, or chop and crumb a few around the hookbait. In colder water, keep the feed tight and modest. In warmer months, a few whole baits over the top can build a proper feeding spot without turning the swim into a bait carpet.
