You can improve your catches instantly by taking the step of trying new things; trying new combinations of things you may already know work and trying things in new powerfully proven ways! Remember it is the things that carp have never regularly experienced previously that most catch those dream catches you hope for; so here are over 20 familiar and new powerful tricks you can exploit with your baits to stimulate your catch rate fast!
Soak your baits in a dip; whether meat, nuts or particle baits, pellets, boilies dips and bait soaks work! Oil rich dips and those rich in amino acids are outstanding and can come from simple homemade sources like tinned tuna oil mixed with liver pate and garlic salt for instance, or shrimp paste with diluted fruit cordial juice and yeast extract; you do not need to spend a fortune on readymade dips or soaks etc.
Adding powders to make a unique homemade bait soak; e.g. vanilla powder, GLM, CSL, Robin Red or whatever your fish like! Think laterally and you will discover combining things like raspberry puree, garlic puree, very ripe banana, real pineapple juice, lemon juice, reap big rewards naturally!
Do not ever boil your hook baits but instead steam them! This allows far more soluble nutritional attraction and stimulation to be released into the water instead of being sealed inside baits and largely wasted! A boiled bait containing egg is like an insoluble inactive ball of coagulated protein that is drastically under optimised for water reactivity, which is actually how baits work (in ionising the water) and influencing fish behaviours in their detecting these ionising changes in their environment!
Coat your baits in bait dough or paste. This is this best way to fish a base mix paste because all the water soluble goodies get to work to the maximum effect on carp stimulus receptors. You might liquidise or just mash some tinned salmon, sardines, herring or mackerel and add wheat flour or ground-up dog mixers with some hemp or sesame seed oil for example; aim to be different!
Soaking hook baits in a mixture including betaine HCL, CC Moore Feedstim XP plus Liquid Red Venom, Lactose B Plus, salts, ascorbic acid, GLM, spirulina and liquid lecithins.
If you use readymade baits like boilies and pellets or even prepared particle baits like nuts or seeds or tinned meats, you will get more takes by altering the surface coating. Make bait irregular shaped as if other fish have already been chewing at the bait. This helps release the baits intrinsic attractive substances too!
Another trick when using boilies is to poke them with a knife point or baiting needle to go deep inside the bait to release attraction! I have used this for years and it really works and changes the bait surface into a very unusual and irregular texture too with all its advantages and definitely ensures baits work from right through the centre!
Try coating your baits with a dough or paste. This does not have to correspond to the hook bait you use at all. It could be you use a red fish meal boilie coated with a yellow bird food paste mix. Or try tiger nut coated in shrimp paste, or luncheon meat coated with aniseed flavoured ground bait based paste.
Homemade enzyme active paste is exceptional bait! Even simply adding bromelain will really help! You can make a homemade paste that includes lots of spirulina powder plus whey protein concentrate, squid liver extract powder, enzyme treated yeast, fermented shrimp powder, glycerine, butyric acid, tiger nut extract, fruit oils and oleoresins and spice and herb terpenes and liquid lecithins in this bait.
There is still much more that can be done to optimise and maximise bait and I firmly believe in doing this in every possible way! I make my entire homemade baits enzyme active in multiple ways, and make them prebiotic and probiotic and many other more stimulatory secret things too! I have evolved and refined my own processes for doing these things and much more too!
Try coating pop up baits with paste! Again it does not need to correspond to the flavour or base mix colour or anything else about your hook baits in order to make that essential difference and catching edge you need in overcoming feeding caution!
Try adding cork granules or cork dust to your paste to make it buoyant or to pop it up. Many big fish can tell which baits are hook baits by their behaviour in the water and their weight, relative density and buoyancy. Using a more buoyant hook bait can seriously fool these fish where blank sessions could well occur on mere conventional bottom baits!
It might come as a surprise but you can easily make pastes from scalded pellets and other baits too. Often a rig exploiting a paste covered hook bait is far more likely to be taken with great confidence if the paste mirrors the state and components of freely breaking down free baits!
You might liquidise your readymade baits and mix with eggs and a little wheat flour or other glue-like ingredients (caseins and caseinates are extremely effective containing high protein levels.) This way you can far more successfully fish conventional familiar bait which has an unusual coating which is both fairly familiar but alternative and a different positive experience for wary fish!
Hook baits of many kinds can be coated in seeds and tiny pellets using a glue-like proprietary substance from Kryston called Bogey. You can coat pellets, boilies, dried meats and fish cubes and even your hair rig and hook too with stimulating tiny baits!
Making a hook rig utilising small chopped pieces of baits on the hair or hairs of different kinds has great benefits in tripping-up wary fish used to dealing with conventional sized and shaped baits.
Using small baits of 6 to 10 millimetres on the rig really can boost catches when everyone else is hammering baits of 14 or 21 millimetres to no avail, especially in the summer.
Hook baits which are combinations of a boilie chop and a particle, or maggots and part of a boilie, worm with paste, pop-up with meat etc provides you with many great advantages over using single or double bait on a single hair.
Try using hooks with 2 baited hairs coming off. These hairs can come off almost anywhere to make a difference; it is the different way the bait and rig act in the water and mouth that can hook those wary fish far more easily. Remember that unless your hook is sharper than you have ever experienced, then carp will more than likely be able to shake it 4 out of 5 times if they are sensitive and wary enough to simply tilt upwards and shake the hook while moving actually towards your lead!
In the last few years while doing comparative analysis of rigs, hooks, patterns, rig dynamics and sharpness I am shocked by how ineffective the vast majority of chemically sharpened hooks and patterns are at actually converting picked up baits. Never believe the hype and do your own testing and you will be as shocked as I have been! As a result of my endless hook testing I spend more time sharpening the last 4 millimetres of my hooks than doing anything else.
This is because once this most vital part of the hook and the most vital part of your entire fishing is thin enough it penetrates fully 4 millimetres in with virtually zero resistance thus making it incredibly difficult for a hooked fish to shake the hook back out!
If you happen to prefer to use readymade baits such as Mainline cell or CC Moore Live System then make the effort to differentiate your bait massively!
In my experience you can create uniquely potent far more effective homemade versions of every leading brand of readymade bait. These can include the use of the branded base mixes and liquids, but these can be incredibly boosted and optimised and differentiated in exceptionally powerful ways! The results of doing this can easily increase your catches by five times what is normal, as I and my British Carp Study Group colleagues have found in testing over the past few years.
There is no doubt about it that fish learn and experiments with goldfish performing tricks using food rewards like dogs shows the 15 second memory is just a myth! Carp learn very quickly by association and they remember positives and negatives so by exposure to your baits they can be programmed deliberately very quickly that your baits are exceptionally positive for them! I find this entire subject fascinating and a huge building block of instant and ongoing success, and particularly effective in testing in creating and refining totally reliable homemade baits truly optimised to beat any leading brand readymade bait!
So do yourself a favour and try being different at all times to maximise your chances and remember; being lazy in this respect will cost you more fish than you ever dreamed possible, but this is just the tip of the ice-berg of improving your catches in regards improving and enhancing all your baits and rigs and whole thinking fishing approach!
