Right lads, this is one of my recycled threads from a different time and a different place, it basically boils down to how you view a carp by looks and longevity, health and fighting qualities and where you put the blame for the the inconsistences between size and power. I am not a fan of the boilie supremacy, it has its place and I use them regularly along with other baits, but its over use, by certain anglers, Mr Shelley springs to mind has encouraged others to do the same, result , obese fish with a short life span, that is just not cricket. I would rather see a specimen of forty pounds in perfect proportion than an obese sixty pound gutball, gorged on HNV, not knowing when to stop eating and looking like a pregnant camel out of water.
I have caught more fish on sweetcorn than any other bait, rivers, canals or lakes, yep Bream and roach do show, but that's the price, peanuts, pellets and catfood, loads more and never seen an obese fish personally. Whats your take.
