Some pot bellys their. What kind of a fight do they put up?


Quote!""Carp fight. Not the wild, leaping fight of a bass or trout, but the deep-down, pulsing, bulldozer kind of a fight that comes only from determined brute strength. You play a carp and he plays you until he's either exhausted on the bank or hands you back your tackle in your hat." (Jones)":D
 
anyone have a good carp bait recipe if so let me know thanks


Carp bate is a huge thing I could write pages on it we use Boilies man made high protein boiled bates but I have caught them on Sweat Corn Brazil Nuts Tiger nuts Pea Nuts (you must cook the nuts or they swell up and kill the fish) Luncheon meat (spam) maggots worms Dog food cat food dog biscuits. The list goes on. Got some good boilie recipes but you need to get the base mixes and flavouring for them. I have had a load of success with 20mm Halibut and Salmon Pellets.
