Carp Bait

Gaining knowledge about different carp bait is crucial if you wish to successfully choose the correct bait to use in order to catch the size of your dreams. It’s not always as simple as picking up whatever bag looks and smells good, or whatever bait seems to be in vogue for that month. If you want to catch carp consistently then you need to consider your bait choice in more detail. You need to start thinking ahead about when, where and how long you’re going to be fishing.

What works one place at one time of the year will not necessarily work at another or during a different season. Anglers often use easily digested food/ingredients in bait during the winter because carp don’t move much due to the cold conditions. In the summer months, when fish are more active, anglers should use more protein in their baits. Older carp, however, require less protein.

Particularly attractive bait carp
Good idea to carry a few different flavours and colours in your carp bag. If previous anglers have hammered fish on similar baits, the carp may have become wary of a particular flavour or colour.

Bait that tastes good
You may need to limit the preservatives and attractors, or keep them low so you don’t overdo it with the flavour. For this reason, they may be a little short on attraction but, the good thing about using a tasty bait is carp will keep coming back to eat more. Carp are greedy fish and will sometimes risk eating more of what they like even if they sense danger.

Bait for carp nutritional needs
High nutritional boilies contain all the necessary nutrients required by carp, and as a result, carp will find them hard to resist. There are shelf life boilies and there are the homemade varieties. Generally, if you make your own boilies they should work out cheaper and if done correctly, some anglers swear, more effective. You must make up your own mind on which is best for you and your situation.

There are various types of boilies depending on the materials used. High Nutritional Value (HNV) boilies incorporate a range of ingredients that benefit the fish in some way. A typical HNV mix will include digestible or predigested casein’s, proteins, vitamins and minerals. An angler making his own boilies can add other flavours, colours, and enhancers. The drawback to HNV baits is that they are expensive. Best results using HNV boilies are achieved from June to November.

Particle baits
Particles refer to seeds, nuts and grains that are used as either hook bait or groundbait. The best known and most widely used is maize.  Other particle baits include hemp, hempseed, maple peas, and lupins. Flavorings, dips and additives make particle baits more attractive to carp. One of the best commercial particle baits is wackerblendplus.

Groundbaits
Groundbait is made from different kinds of natural ingredients such as bread crumbs, hemp, walnut flour and so on. It is moistened with water, formed into balls and thrown into the water where you plan to fish. The carp are attracted to the smell and clouding of the water. There are numerous groundbait fishing tactics helping to catch more carp!

Live baits
They include crayfish, clams, snails, aquatic worms and the immature forms of aquatic insects, such as stonefly and mayfly nymphs.

There are a number of live baits that you use to catch carp. These are the same creatures that carp would find in the water. Mainline makes bloodworm extract stik pellets, which easily break down and draw carp to your baiting area. Dynamite Baits makes fishmeal boilies containing flavours that carp like, such as crab, shrimp, octopus, halibut, oyster, and chicken.
