Imitation Bait
A wide range of Imitation Baitsm/ Carp Fake Food including imitation pop up sweet corn, imitation maggot and fake boilie
In carp fishing, several types of artificial or fake carp baits are commonly used to attract and catch carp. Here are the main types:
Boilies
These are perhaps the most popular form of carp bait. Boilies are round, dough-like bait typically made from fishmeal, milk proteins, bird food, or soya flour mixed with various flavors and attractants.
- Longevity: They are hard and durable, making them resistant to small, unwanted fish, and can remain on the hook for extended periods.
- Variety: Available in countless flavors and sizes, allowing anglers to tailor their bait to specific carp tastes and conditions.
Pellets
Similar in composition to boilies but typically smaller and cylindrical. They can be oil-based or water-soluble, providing different rates of dissolution and attractant release.
- Versatility: They can be used for both free feeding and as hook baits. Their dissolution rate can be adjusted based on their composition, releasing attractants over time.
- Attractiveness: Often enriched with oils and flavors that disperse well in water, drawing carp from a distance.
Pop-ups
A type of buoyant boilie designed to float off the bottom, making them more visible and attractive to carp. They are often used in weedier waters or to stand out above the lake bed.
- Visibility: They are buoyant and can be presented above the lake bed, making them more visible and attractive in murky or weed-infested waters.
- Selective Fishing: Useful for targeting larger carp, as they can be rigged to avoid smaller fish.
Artificial Corn
Synthetic, often brightly colored corn that is buoyant and used on the hook or in conjunction with real feed to attract carp.
- Buoyancy and Visibility: Highly visible and can be used to balance the hook for a perfect presentation, useful in clear waters.
- Reusable: Durable and can be used repeatedly, saving costs and time.
Imitation Maggots
Plastic or rubber maggots used alone or alongside real maggots to improve bait presentation and durability.
- Durability: More durable than real maggots, they can withstand casting and handling by fish without coming off the hook.
- Dual-use: Can be used alongside real maggots to enhance visual appeal without the risk of losing all bait to small fish or quick nibbles.
Artificial Bread
Used to mimic bread, a common surface bait, but with the advantage of not dissolving or breaking apart quickly.
- Consistency: Unlike real bread, artificial bread does not dissolve quickly in water, maintaining its form for longer periods and allowing for extended fishing times.
- Surface Fishing: Excellent for surface fishing, as it stays afloat and attracts surface-feeding carp.
Foam Baits
Small pieces of colored foam used to imitate various food particles. They can be shaped and flavored to suit different fishing conditions.
- Customizable: Can be cut and shaped to mimic various food sources, and can be soaked in flavors and attractants.
- Buoyancy: Useful for creating balanced rigs that present the hook bait just off the bottom.
Plastic Pellets/Nuts
Designed to mimic pellets or nuts, these are durable and often used in hair rigs.
- Indestructibility: They are impervious to pecking by small fish, ensuring the hook bait remains intact for the target species.
- Long-term Use: Can be left in the water for extended periods without degradation, making them ideal for long sessions or pre-baiting strategies.
