Cheap Homemade Carp Fishing Baits for Big Fish!

The best thing about making homemade baits is the control and incredible satisfaction they provide in terms of control over your costs and catches and actual ingredients and so on you might choose to exploit to best effect! Most anglers discuss baits in terms of their favourite flavours or brands with very little focus upon exactly how such baits really impact upon fish senses which is a great shame (this aspect is a massive advantage lost on the majority of average anglers!) So if you want to know more about the truth about the real power of homemade baits and need help in designing and making them fast " just read on!
These days more and more carp anglers are getting into making their own baits and this is no surprise! The average carp bait sold for a price of around 6 pounds here in the UK is very easily out-fished by cheaper better-designed and far more potently stimulatory homemade baits and all formats of ground baits, stick, slop, method and other baits including particles and pellets (besides boilies.) Very frequently Ive personally out-fished much more expensive popular brands using my own homemade baits. As I and many others have proven over the last 30 plus years, anyone with the desire to find out more about bait-making, can take back control from all the bait companies and fish their own unique baits exceptionally successfully (and with this knowledge, experience and skill, can out-fish leading brands.)
Having banked twenty forty pound carp from UK lakes I realise many things have changed about carp fishing in the past 40 years and especially the size of carp now available, but it is very obvious you need to fish the waters with fish of the size you wish to catch " I know anglers who have very few twenties under their belts because of the limited lakes they fish within a particular region of the country. Your fishing goals are very personal and weight of fish is very irrelevant in many aspects; your personal success can be measured in many ways beyond fish weights and any sponsored angler can sit full-time on any water until they catch all the fish in the lake (i.e. big deal!) It is best to measure your success by setting your own goals and exactly how you aim to achieve them and fulfilling those goals than by comparing just how many thirties or whatever you have caught in a year and catching them on your own homemade unique baits makes all the difference to and gives a far deeper meaning to catch results in my opinion!
Most of us have to compete with bait and tackle-sponsored anglers and having the ability to either top their baits or make your own is a very potent edge in such circumstances! Also the willingness to constantly adapt your thinking and develop your personal fishing skills and take risks with your fishing styles and approaches provides endless competitive edges that stuck in a rut carp anglers who follow fashions and the crowd miss all the time. The obvious answer to how to beat the herd is to be the first to do something different in terms of baits and methods; in making your own baits and developing your own approaches you always improve your chances " permanently and you will be a true thinking angler and a genuine sharper carper!
Many anglers are concerned about making their own baits with no reason whatsoever; over the years I have caught big fish on well over 90 percent of my own experimental homemade baits and even the mistake ones always turn out to be excellent solutions for different fishing situations and challenges and when fished against competing ready made baits too! Mistakes in bait making are simply where the bait or results did not turn out as expected but the nature of such baits and there impacts on fish are priceless feedback that lead directly and very fast straight to awesome homemade baits for many more fishing situations and solve many problems many readymades do not address at all and the cost homemade baits always means you can over-boost with natural carp feeding triggers - which is a gigantic edge (see my unique bait making and bait design books at Baitbigfish for details and much more!)
Talking to average carp anglers on the bank just shows how much they are missing out on tremendously better catches if only they knew more about bait than references to their favourite flavours or brands; this it a tragedy because everyone can get better educated about bait design and exploitation and leverage bait to much greater effect than they ever previously imagined. Many anglers have heard of balanced or high nutrition baits or so-called food baits, and having the knowledge to be able improve the performances of all kinds of carp baits, from particles to pellets to boilies to ground baits etc by leveraging potent natural feeding triggers in particular is hugely beneficial to multiplying your catches! The digestibility of carp baits is very much an edge and most anglers know next to nothing about how this is achieved and why it is such a powerful advantage over fish and most competing baits in the long-term, producing the biggest fish that incidentally require the highest energy requirements repeatedly!
Of course flavours are such a popular subject for carp anglers, but most realise that the majority of flavours are just average or worse while a relative few are very potent by comparison to others and really do work, if not directly in effecting feeding responses, then indirectly helping enhance and improve ionising effects of other bait substances such as betaine and amino acids and so on etc! Some very most effective flavours are the type that by methodically testing against standard baits you can overdose and top standard baits so they catch far more fish at almost any water you visit than the very same standard bait from the same bag but with no extra added flavour, but please be aware that anything has a flavours of some sort even plastic and rubber baits, and carp can detect some substances to a few parts in a billion (this is fact.) Although chilli extracts are very popular few anglers rally appreciate the many aspects of their impacts upon fish senses, digestion and metabolism, long range chemoreception and lateral line sensitivities and mode of feeding they can induce and so on; it may come as a big surprise that carp actually enjoy the pleasure from the pain response initiated by the hot peppers " just as we enjoy hot curries and spicy foods for the same reason (see my flavours and feeding triggers ebooks for more!)
Carp are a product of the evolution of the food around them that provide the basic energy to survive " fish utilise proteins and amino acids incredibly well for all purposes including energy compared to humans; how many carbohydrate foods can you think of in lakes, rivers, oceans (can you see why highly potent natural protein-related feeding triggers that carp are by definition most sensitive to are so vital in bait making!) The more you know about baits the better because you can double or treble your catches or simply avoid blank sessions; do you know the best squid extract, where to get it and how it works and even which companies employ it in their readymade baits and how to boost its levels correctly for awesome catches " find out more in my ebooks! Even a bait-making beginner can immediately go out and start catching big fish on their own baits, for instance by boosting a very simply low value semolina bait with highly potent flavours, or some of the most potent soluble protein products or combine the advantages of these for example " at a price that will save you thousands of pounds over the years, so see my unique ebooks at Baitbigfish right now and get catching more big fish and fulfil your carp fishing dreams!
