How to Build a Baited Spot That Carp Trust

Why pre-baiting works

Carp learn quickly. When a bait appears regularly in the same place without danger, they start treating it as a natural food source.

Pick one bait and stick with it

Choose a digestible, quality boilie and use it consistently. Switching every session resets the learning process.

Little and often

Introduce a modest amount every few days rather than one huge drop. Adjust to water temperature: more in summer, much less in winter.

Fish it

When you arrive, fish a matching hookbait on the spot with a small top-up of freebies. Watch for signs of feeding fish before adding more.
