Cultured goo baits in action look pretty amazing 😍😍😍

There winners all day long them 👍👍🎣🎣

I use Mainline Milky Toffee pop ups smothered in Almond Supreme...

I had over 70 fish on Christmas cracker which is my favourite bait by the way ,Johnson Ross deal with oli alot , but yeah things changed abit with partners after pete died and oli been chasing his 100+ I know at the mo his PB is now over 90+ ,its great bait for me especially after using at rainbow for 5 years Christmas cracker and ocean fruit ,if ever want let me know I can find out what the situation is

My uk pb carp came to the Christmas cracker pop up

Have you given them a lick to see how they taste ?

I'm out Sunday, gonna be a daft day... Up at 4 to go to lake, get mine n mates pegs, set up mine, wait for him, set his up, shoot home for about 9am to take little en to football game, home for shower, after that back to lake then hopefully relax (around dinner time) 😪😪

When I was out at weekend, very nice n sunny but it looked like the fish were just trying to warm up, not taking anything off top at all, no bread, no pop ups, no biscuits... Did sort of find there patrolling route of the lake, so this weekend I'm out Sunday for a 24hr.

I shouldnt have to prove myself as it's my opinion on imitation baits but I don't mind sharing a couple

I was sharing the swim with Steve o neil and I landed it 83lb the first time in my net and it was the new wr again at rainbow after it was beaten the day before the scarred mirror on same bait at Luke moffits graviers elite baits ocean fruits , as I remember the phone call ,it was broke twice in 48 hours on the same bait in 2 different lakes and the following year I had it on imitation corn

Yes at Luke moffits graviers on elite baits ocean fruit who I fished for at the time

There was a guy who beat the Graviers record twice with the same fish https://www.fishingmagic.com/carp-world-record-broken-again/

I think it was Steve who was a member on here had the big Graviers fish at a World Record weight, only to be beaten the same week by a Rainbow fish.

To be honest the questions might interlink. I know a number of match type waters ban 'successful' baits, be it pellet, boilie because 'such and such' won loads of matches doing his thing with that bait. As also mentioned it does serve to keep carp anglers off the lakes, which may be the biggest advantage of the bait ban, but without outright banning carp anglers. Most boilies now are nutritionally good, not all, but most. You could quite easily make up a boilie base mix, but use it as paste instead of boiling it. That way you have the nutrition and increased attraction. Mould it around a couple of grains of sweetcorn, Cork ball (use putty to weight it and create a pop-up), or even straight on the hook.

Perhaps it was in rainbow at one point, but maybe Rod, Jane and Freddy moved it, 🌈😊

And the anglers name wasn't Marty, unless of course he went back to the future 🤣

https://www.total-fishing.com/world-carp-record-goes/ 👍 This 2005 WR was caught on a boilie from Graviers 😳

I've gluuved ALL my Imitation bait in Betalin, started to top my Sticky Baits Manilla Tuff ones, with a Fake plastic corn.

Don’t ask me! I don’t know! Lol!

Plastic tipping baits are one of the very few if not the only bait banned on the lake i fish, for obvious reasons.

Ouch.

Pretty sure the 2005 record carp at 83lb was from Graviers and not rainbow, but then if I'm reading your post correctly, you caught it so I guess you'd know.

Pictures, Marty? Ian.
