i tried red maggots the last two time going here but only on the hook, think i might try them in a large swim feeder with as many as possible on the hook.

Tank Tutti Fruttis are a classic boilie flavour and if you dont catch on them I will swop you for some of mine.

Maggots and Corn will also work a treat, for floater fishing on the surface try sugar puffs instead of dog biscuits you should be able to cram three onto a size 8 hook andthy soften after a few seconds in the water so when carpy sucks at them the hook will pull out of the sugar puff and into the carps mouth nicely.

well the combination didn't really work for me today. got one decent run which when i pulled into it felt a good size. then about 1 min later it came off the hook, just as well really as it was heading right for the reed bed!!! to be honest i think this will work i will try it again but next time when its not as hot as it was today.
