Carp Fishing Bait: Boilies, Particles Or Naturals?

Year after year, the debate about which bait is the best for carp fishing rages on. Boilies are by far the most popular hook bait choice, though particles are favoured by many anglers looking to add volume to a spod mix without breaking the bank.

Maggots shouldn’t be ignored at any time of the year, though they really tend to come into their own during the colder months, while worms, mussels and other natural morsels have been responsible for the capture of many big fish over the years.

The winter feeding program at the majority of lakes involves pellets of some sort, so they should never be discounted (especially when you consider that most carp are reared on pellets).
