Approved winter mix
We’ve combined five killer ingredients to give you a one-way ticket to winter spod-mix success!
Any winter baiting HAS to be carefully considered because carp just aren’t the same creatures in the colder months. Their metabolism is slower and the gut enzymes that they use to digest food don’t work as well at low temperatures. That all means in order to succeed, think thinner oils and easily digestible food items – you can’t catch a carp that’s laid up, struggling to digest the grub that you’ve served up! To take the doubt out, we’ve put together a recipe for you to follow that includes some of the star cold-water performers. bait-tech.com
1. 2mm Krill Pellets
You just can’t overestimate how much carp LOVE pellets! These tiny, 2mm, Krill pellets are packed with aminos, oils and crustacean protein and will soak up juices from the rest of the mix, dragging it all down to the lakebed and kicking out those “EAT ME!” signals! “GIMME”: £4.49
2. Sweetcorn
Sweetcorn can’t be bettered… can it? How about combining its visual appeal and awesome digestibility with one of the best winter flavours of all time, Tutti Frutti? That aught to do it! A smattering of this stuff will grab the attention of any carp that swim by. “GIMME”: £1.99
3. Crushed Hemp
Oily crushed hemp will litter your spot with attraction and these tiny fragments will find their way into the lakebed, keeping the carp searching long and hard for the food that’s kicking out such an enticing scent trail! “GIMME”: £2.99
4. Super Seed Hemp
Hemp is THE best base for a spod mix, and the thin oil is perfect for cold-water use. Not only is tinned stuff super-convenient, it’s also of supreme quality. Because it’s cooked in the tins, no attractors are lost. “GIMME”: £2.99
5. Casters
No mix would be complete without a killer natural bait. Nope, not the fashionable maggot; we’ve chosen its older brother, the caster! Crunchy and packed with protein, carp just can’t get enough of the little chrysalises!
