Hot Hemp

[Colin Smith]

yes but a carp that sees a familiar shape, but with a different flavour can be an attractor, and needs investigation.

I think that an attractor (such as chilli for example) to a bait (such as hemp) that a lot of anglers use plain can make all the difference.

keep em coming tho.....

sorry mate but I dont think shape makes a difference at all
99% of boilies are round because of casting further and freebies go out better
I just dont believe mr carp knows the shape of a banana !

 

[Cakey]

but Im with you that changing things can catch mr carp

Not a concusion they came to on the new Korda DVD. The carp were ignoring the bollies until they put chopped baits in.

 

[Cakey]

they have just learnt that boilies mean danger ,in a year they wont go near chopped baits !

 

[Bryan Baron 2]

Then they are at present affraid of round baits.

 

[Cakey]

that aint what I said is it Bryan

 

[Colin Smith]

but that does seem the case that the carp do get wary of round-shaped baits like boilies.

 

[Cakey]

thats because 99% of baits are boilies I suppose

Throws cat amongst pigeons again -

I like those dumbell shaped boilies. Not sure that carp do though.

 

[Frothey]

if the fish were wary of round baits, they's never eat any! how many baits do fish pick up and eat compared with the odd one or two with a hook in?

how does a fish know a bait is round/square/whatever


size is more important.


single bait fishing should be banned.....

 

[Colin Smith]

but its the difference between catching them quicker and maybe in some cases not at all. at the end of the day, it all boils down to confidence and your own discoveries/beliefs.

Colins hit the nail on the head. Its all about what yopu feel confident in. I fish a very pressured "hard" water, they see mountains of boilies but hardly any good uns get caught. An d when they do, its nearly always on normal round boilies.....
