Nash Bait Formula

[carpio]

Hi guys, 

I'm looking to carp fish a river I've been visiting for a long time (probalby 18 years now) but never caught a carp off of it. I plan on pre-baiting/feeding a variety of baits. Boilies have never been used there, but I was interested in still introducing some to my mix which I planned on being mainly sweetcorn, hemp, some tigers, a bit of pellet and a bit of boilies. Just to tick every box. I saw these boilies by Nash and was amazed at the price - probably like 25 euro for 5 kilos which is cheap as heck. Are they any good or should I spend my money elsewhere? They'd only be used crushed/cut up in a spod mix or something similar and my hookbaits would be either fake pop up corn by ESP or pop ups by Mainline/Rod Hutchinson but still wanted to seek out your opinions. 

Thanks a ton!

I would have thought they would be good enough for your situation, they have nothing to compare them to anyway.

However, if boilies were commonly used I would then be looking for the best I can afford not the cheapest.

 

Good luck

Hi Kev, 

Thanks for your reply.

Generally I'm such a guy that I'd rather spend an extra quid and fish with proper bait. I'm assuming that since they're Nash they're not too bad, but I'm an inexperienced boilie angler and wanted to know if there is such a thing as a counterproductive one.

I don't think any decent branded bait would be counter productive they are all good enough to catch fish and have some beneficial ingredients, expensive baits just have more.

I've always found that any fish that have not seen boilies will always always go for sweetcorn. Ive no idea why this is but it always is an instant winner. I'd buy up the Nash boilies and fish a single boilie over the top of the corn and nuts. I've used this method on so many lakes and rivers to great effect.

Soak the boiles in the corn juice prior to fishing makes them an absolute delight for the carp, they love them.
