Carp happily devour their food on the surface as long as you keep the pellets, biscuits, chic peas, bread, and re-hydrated corn coming in, and these are affordable baits in addition to what you'd normally get. Just attach them to the hooks on one of your Carp fishing rods, most preferably the bread. Have the biscuits softened by dipping it in the water for about 2 minutes, then, place them in a sealed sandwich bag for about an hour. Since different brands of biscuits have different textures, just experiment to know which is good enough to cast. Another alternative to hook baits is super gluing the pellet into the shank.

Once they start feeding, let them feel comfortable around the bait. This gives more opportunity for the fisherman using their Carp fishing rods since they begin to not feel picky. This tactic can also be useful for zig rigs - find out more by searching....

As soon as they're feeding, you can cast the bait but make sure not to drop it directly onto the feeding carp. Cast away from the feeding area, using your Carp fishing rod, then slowly draw it into position. While the bait is till hanging there, keep the food coming in so as to keep the carp from going away.

Best way to Set-Up?

• Use a hair rig to increase your chance of catching something. As carp taste food first, if they don't like the taste, they won’t come near it.

• You may also use a Spider Line, 50 lbs test, then use a leader material that fits the situation with one of your Carp fishing rods.

• Thread the bait on the baiting needle and hook the hair loop. You may also use foam dipped in a flavor as this enhances the attractiveness of the bait.

• Also make a baiting needle by just straightening a long shank hook around one of your Carp fishing rods. Slide the bait on the shank, then slide the bait from the needle onto the hair.

• Using a float is also an advantage because it adds weight for further distancing and the location is easily identified.

• Don’t forget the controller float rig. A leader can be used which is attached to the swivel to its mainline of at least 3 feet length with a 10lbs Drennan double strength. A low diameter mono will do just as long as it floats well enough for visibility.

As experts say, it is not the bait that catches the carp but the method in which the bait is introduced and using one of the finest Carp fishing rods. Pre-bait everyday, in one spot for a few days. This makes the carp think that there is a regular source of food for them and by "word of mouth" there'll soon be a school of fish around. Just be patient and it will all work.
