Bait dips, soaks and glugs are well proven for improving feeding responses of carp in low temperatures. Many anglers simply buy a pot of dip or bait soak not really knowing how effective it is or how similar it might be to products already used before that fish might like or be cautious of to some degree.

Carp live in an environment ruled by water but why is this obvious fact something you can exploit to catch many more fish?! Carp detect your baits by many actions and interactions of substances both upon their senses and upon the water itself. So for instance take the example of ethyl alcohol based concentrated flavours which are popular in winter. These are very highly soluble in water and so disperse very quickly through the water. This dispersal through its mixing with water produces a concentration gradient of flavours that carp can follow back to your bait easily. Many great winter flavours have this kind of effect.

To boost your catches one of the easiest and effective methods is to maximise the attractiveness of many readymade and homemade baits using potent unique bait soaks. These added liquids enable you to include incredibly attractive biologically-active substances which may be damaged if used before baits are boiled. Here are some details of highly stimulating nutritional bait liquids and powdered additives that can easily improve your cold water catches when using readymade and homemade baits!

Many readymade baits are made with the cheapest highly concentrated solvent-based flavours. Certainly over-loaded baits work but there are alternatives!

This new mixture will really boost natural nutritional attraction and very much reduce the potentially negative impacts of using certain all too familiar solvent based flavours!

Ccmoore offer Brazil nuts pre-cooked which are obviously highly effective. But not everyone thinks ahead when on holiday or cannot source readymade baits.

to laugh when I hear about homemade corn or maize flour type baits actually being used for competition carp fishing! (fishing matches or tournaments are not the limit of competing as we are all fishing against fish instincts - which is why you need to exploit them by using better baits!)

(This is a quaternary ammonium compound related to the amino acid glycine.) This product is the familiar white sweet-tasting crystalline stuff often called the anhydrous betaine form. It is stable up to 200 degrees Celsius - so boiling it in baits does not damage it!
