Bait

Peruse Dave Lane’s excellent article in the January Issue of Total Carp and you’ll see that hemp plays a huge part in his baiting approach at this time of year. For Dave Lane, read any number of top carp anglers, because so many of them are singing from the same hymn sheet, so to speak. While particles might not necessarily feature in the plans of many of us, hemp is the exception and is a stunning cold-water attractor and feed. It’s also perfect for maintaining the carp’s attention over a period of time.

Regarded as one of Sticky’s best-selling products, this highly attractive liquid is not only extremely versatile but has a proven track record, catching literally hundreds of carp across the country. Utilizing real bloodworm, this natural liquid is a product that cannot be overdosed and helps to fool even the wariest of carp into thinking a natural harvest of bloodworm has occurred. On applying this nutrient-richadditive, it generates an appealing and visual hazy cloud that sits over the substrate, allowing the carp to feed freely and with confidence. The liquid can be added to pellets, particles and even soaked into boilies, but it can really come into its own when used in spod mixes.
