Making carp baits for big fish of over thirty pounds is a goal that more and more anglers want to achieve, because the rewards really are worth it! You can catch as many if not in fact more big carp by using totally unique homemade baits! There are many possible ingredients for making carp baits, but what you need is a very solid starting point of confidence so the expert information in this article is very helpful indeed!

You need to understand straightway that success is a recipe, but not merely a miracle magic bullet instant success recipe. There is a reason why there are so many carp baits, and that is that carp are constantly evolving in order to avoid threats, and to exploit new opportunities in order to survive to pass their genes on to future generations. So you basically need to make baits which are not a threat, that either literally or superficially represents a huge opportunity for them to exploit and take advantage of, so they feed on your own unique baits! (It takes more that merely having a boilie recipe to achieve this!)

It must be emphasized that bait is merely one part of the formula for success! Fish location, rig choice and rig dynamics, awareness and understanding of angling pressure upon fish, individual angling skill and a positive mental attitude and persistence seriously count also! Consistently always learning and developing further new knowledge and making continuous further refinement of knowledge and skills are all part of the art, craft, and science of successful big carp fishing! There are no short cuts if your aim is to be as consistent as possible in catching big fish; it really is all about constantly learning more and more and adapting and refining every single aspect of your fishing!

As I began making homemade baits back in the 1970's long before the age of any ready made carp baits, when each and every angler really was literally doing his own thing, I learnt a massive amount about what works, what is very good and what is outstanding! The ready made baits produced by bait companies today are actually predominantly still based upon recipes and the groups of ingredients and additives that pioneering anglers were using as early as the 1950's and 1960's!

But as a homemade bait make, you can achieve massive edges by improving as much as possible upon the old fashioned thinking, old fashioned mindsets from bygone eras! You can harness the power of new ingredients and additives, new palatant substances, new bait components, which have only become available perhaps within the last 10 years!

The most significant edge that you have as a homemade bait maker is that you have full control over exactly how you think about your bait design process. This means you can choose exactly what you want to exploit within the entire range of fish senses, and their sensory systems. You genuinely can make your baits really seriously enhanced in every way to be detectable as easily as possible and as active in water as possible, to highlight your baits to fish senses!

There is a saying: Keep it simple stupid! This translates to carp bait and bait testing literally by using one ingredient in one level, and simply changing one thing in your bait to make a difference to results to test if it improves numbers of bites and speed of responses. Keep your baits as simple as possible to begin with, and you will remove as many variables as possible, and you will learn exactly how much of one or a few additives and ingredients work really well, used in the highest levels possible!

To initially create homemade bait I am not suggesting you make boilies, but baits which have the most instant response! In every case dough or paste baits with the same exact base mix and liquids as the boiled or steamed baits versions have a faster response over all. These get more bites because they are more active in the water and their components disperse far more effectively to attract and stimulate carp when compared to boiled or steamed baits!

I am not a believer in just giving recipes away, and the reason is that you need to realise that bait is a journey, and never a destination, because it is merely a reflection of a moving target, i.e. carp which constantly adapt and evolve in response to opportunities and threats. Therefore keep on evolving your baits, keep on refining your baits, and you keep ahead of your carp, all the time!

But here is a simple recipe suggestion as a beginner bait, which uses thinking outside of the most common, and is different. Just because a bait is simple does not mean it will not catch fish of over thirty pounds in weight! (It is simple because there is so much that can be optimized and maximized in a bait!)

Betaine HCL at 20 grams.
97 percent pure betaine at 10 grams.
Extra strength garlic powder at 3 grams.
Blue cheese powder at 100 grams.
Squid liver powder at 200 grams.
Pure liver powder at 50 grams.
Hydrolyzed poultry protein at 50 grams.
Concentrated yeast powder at 100 grams.
Yellow pea protein isolate (75 percent protein) at 300 grams.
CC Moore Meggablend Red at 200 grams.

Liquids to add your dry powder mixture to: Liquid molasses and liquid probiotic yeast (mixed.)

Plus butyric acid at 1 milliliter per kilogram of base mix.

Plus pure squid liver oil, and triple-filtered premium grade salmon oil at 3 to 5 percent of your total liquids per kilogram.

How you actually make, and apply your baits is your creative choice, and developing your own creativity is essential to ensure your baits are always unique and different!

So my advice is to think out of the box, and avoid replicating common things you find with popular readymade bait designs!
