13 best carp baits
Carp baits are a crucial element in carp fishing, a popular angling pursuit. These baits are designed to attract carp, a species of fish known for their cautious and selective feeding habits.Carp baits come in various forms, each with its own unique characteristics and advantages. Here are some common types of carp baits:
Boilies: Boilies are round balls of bait made from a mixture of ingredients such as flour, eggs, and flavorings. They are typically hardened by boiling or baking. Boilies come in different sizes, colors, and flavors, allowing anglers to tailor their bait to the preferences of the carp. Popular flavors include strawberry, pineapple, and fishmeal.
Pellets: Carp pellets are compressed and extruded bait made from a blend of fishmeal, grains, and other ingredients. They are available in various sizes and can be used as loose feed or as part of a groundbait mix.
Sweetcorn: Canned sweetcorn is a simple yet effective carp bait. Its bright color and natural sweetness make it attractive to carp. Anglers often use sweetcorn as a hook bait or as part of a larger bait presentation.
Particle Baits: Particle baits include a wide range of items like chickpeas, tiger nuts, hempseed, and various seeds. These baits require preparation and cooking before use. Carp find them highly appealing due to their natural scent and texture.
Paste Baits: Paste baits are a soft, dough-like bait that can be molded around the hook. Anglers often make their own paste baits using a mixture of ingredients, including groundbait, fishmeal, and flavorings.
Artificial Baits: Artificial baits, such as plastic corn and imitation worms, can be used to mimic natural food items. They are durable and can be used for multiple casts.
Liquid Attractants: Liquid attractants are substances applied to baits to enhance their appeal. These can include flavors, oils, and fish attractants that disperse in the water, creating a scent trail to attract carp.
Groundbait: Groundbait is a mixture of various ingredients, including breadcrumbs, fishmeal, and flavorings. It is used to create a feeding area by scattering it in the water, attracting carp to the fishing spot.
Zig Rigs: Zig rigs are a specialized carp fishing technique where the bait is suspended at different depths in the water column to target carp feeding at different levels.
When selecting a carp bait, anglers often consider factors such as water temperature, time of year, and the specific preferences of the carp in their target area. Carp can be selective, so experimenting with different baits and techniques is common practice among carp anglers to increase their chances of success.
It's essential to handle and store baits properly to maintain their freshness and effectiveness. Additionally, local regulations and guidelines should be followed to ensure responsible and sustainable fishing practices.

User questions & answers
Question: | How well do they float |
Answer: | Not really had them float to well. Weight of the hooks pretty much over loads the ones I've used. |
Question: | Can these be used on hooks |
Answer: | yes u can ... |
Question: | Do they float well on a hair rig |
Answer: | Not sure if they float when new. I found this out by mistake .. I add sweet corn oil which helps them float and swells them from normal corn size to feed corn size.. they already do have a great smell before I add to them. Oh, also I would compare the softness to that of a artificial bass worm. Cheaper corns are more like a pencil eraser.. the oil will soften them as well but not so much. Hope that helps.. tight lines ! |
Question: | Wouldn't it be more practical to just buy a 50 cent can of corn to fish with |
Answer: | No, the plastic corn stays on the hook. Baits a hair rig is time consuming and having a scented bait thst will not come off catches more fish because the bait is in the water more |

User questions & answers
Question: | can be ordered only from 15 or 20 g |
Answer: | There are many sizes . Usually 15 to 40 in a set of 6. |
Question: | The swivels is built in, how do you put line though it |
Answer: | The swivel snaps in to a tube that runs thru the feeder. The line goes thru tube and ties to swivel . When line is pulled tight it snaps in to tube. The fish pulls swivel out of the feeder and allows weight to free to let line run out during fish run. Fish on!!! I love these feeders. |
Question: | Can these be used for catfish also |
Answer: | I've personally have caught catfish with this product using my personal bait but its effective for carp and catfish |

User questions & answers
Question: | So it says not to be used with hooks but its shown on a treble. This is confusing |
Answer: | We do NOT show the bait on a treble hook. In our picture the bait is attached too a bait screw off the hook, which is a variant of a hair rig. We do not recommend the use of treble hooks for carp fishing, a hair rig will catch way more fish. Many thanks WCC Team |
Question: | Do these float |
Answer: | No, these are bottom baits. We will be releasing our floating boilie (pop ups) in the coming months. Many thanks |

Question: | Anybody have a video or using this with bait or know of a good one to watch |
Answer: | Google basic hair rig for carp |
Question: | How do you get bait on here |
Answer: | The needle with the red handle goes through your corn then hooks the loop (hair). Slide your corn down off the needle and onto the hair. Unhook the needle from the hair and use one of those little plastic stops to keep your corn on the hair. You can use a piece of grass if you run out of the plastic stops. |
Question: | What weight do you use with this |
Answer: | Ideally you use in line method. I used 60g and 30g (approx 2 ounce and 1 ounce). You can also use a rig similar to bottom rig. The weight will depend on you rod and how far you throw. I usually use medium rod with 2 ounce weight on the end of the bottom rig. I caught both carp and channel catfish using these hooks. Used corn, piece of raw shrimp, a piece of a hotdog. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Where does this ship from |
Answer: | Hi, ships from Austin, Texas. Many thanks, WCC Team |
Question: | will this bait work on Blackish or salt water |
Answer: | It will work on brackish water for carp, never tested in salt water. Best regards WCC Team |
Question: | Which type sinks? I don’t want floating type. How do I tell which is sinking type |
Answer: | Yes this is a sinking bait, which is always the case with real tiger nuts. These are our smaller version, we have a jumbo version as well. Typically fake plastic tiger nut bait is floating and boilies that are referred to as pop ups are a floating bait. Hope this helps! All the best WCC Team |
