Here I run through how I make a basic and completely natural bait for use throughout 2024. I set out to create a bait that was fairly soft that would breakdown fairly quickly in order to let off the food signals to help draw the carp towards it. I had the idea that because carp are reared on fish pellets I would build a base mix of 2 types of fishmeal with a fairly low amount of binder, I also added no extra oil due to the high fat content of the soya flour. This mix turned out to be very stiff but manageable and actually rolled out really easily. After boiling, I air dried them for approx 17hrs, just enough for them to form a skin but still be fairly soft on the inside.
