Bloodworm has been considered one of the most important and easily consumable of all natural baits for a long while – there isn’t a carp in the land that doesn’t recognise it as a highly nutritional food source. When carp are preoccupied on the naturals present in the lake it can often be hard to get their attention with artificial and human-made baits, so what’s better than giving them what they want? The only difference is that you control how much you give them. So, if you’re looking for a little edge this season then give this a go. It especially comes into its own either when using PVA sticks or bags, but remember it is buoyant so should always be mixed with other ingredients.
