Boilies Must-Knows

By Mervin Stollendall


Of all the types of fishing today, only one has truly gotten people hooked and addicted and that is carp fishing.

Carp fishing is the capture of fish that's part of the Cyprinidae specie. This type of fishing can be conducted in so many ways using different techniques and also using different carp bait.

First on the list is natural baits. These baits include animals like shrimps, bloodworms, daphnia, snails, and freshwater mussels. Although carps feed on almost anything, they are not the kind that's really attracted to natural baits.

Yet one more kind of carp bait is the small sized bait. They are named such because they are obviously small in size. Examples of baits like this are trout pellets, hemp, multimass and partiblend which are too minute that you would really need equipment so that they'll be attached to the hook.

Commercial base mixes are one more kind of carp bait. These mixes are the ones typically used to create homemade bait.

Some other varieties of carp bait include the dough baits. These dough baits are also called boilies which are typically made of dough that has a hard outer shell. They come in a huge variety of sizes, colors and flavors.

Apart from all those mentioned, carp bait can also come in the form of dry dog food. This is because most dog food pellets have corn which is perfect for carp fishes. You can check the nutrition table to double check this one. Usually, the cheaper the dog food is the more corn it contains. What's great about this bait is that you can just easily put it in a hook by making it soft enough through the addition of water.

Canned sweet corn is yet another kind of carp bait. The way to use this is to just sprinkle them on the water and a single kernel of corn is then attached to the hook for bait.

The final type of carp bait is the maggots. Maggots are actually worms that are known to really grab the attention of carps when they are placed at the tip of the hook as baits.

You can conveniently choose which bait is available in your kitchen or which one you can afford and you can start your first-ever carp fishing UK experience.
