Ultimate Carp Bait Hack or Fail?

In this video, we look at a homemade recipe for Carp Fishing Bait Bombs. Natural ingredients combined to make an effective Fishing Burley Recipe.
An efficient way to naturally spread the attraction from any bait you use.

Interesting idea. I may have to give this a go at some point.

[@NathanKCutler]

It could serve us well on the big North American waters we target to get more attraction out into bigger areas.

I really like the look of these nathan cheers bud tightlines

[@NathanKCutler]

The powder pairs pretty good with PVA and Stick Mix.

[@addictedtoangling]

@@NathanKCutler i really like it for stick mix with a little pva mesh stick it certainly would draw the fish down from up in the water column

[@WilliamMuschett]

Absolutely genius, Nathan!

[@NathanKCutler]

Somewhat affordable this way too. 😅

[@sergioclerigo5989]

Wow that’s really cool 😎! Have to give that a try.

[@NathanKCutler]

Amazingly its a fairly simple recipe that matches any bait flavour you use.

[@brettandersen1861]

I was thinking about this recently. Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to give it a try.

[@NathanKCutler]

With the testing I did, I've found it works best when crushed up after it dries and mixed with stick mix. Let me know how it works for you and if you have any better ideas for it Brett.

[@brettandersen1861]

@@NathanKCutler I'm wondering if particles can be mixed in initially. I would just be chucking a few out for pre baiting just before casting my lines.

[@carpnwiththemartins]

You never cease to amaze 🤪
Most definitely trying this one out

[@NathanKCutler]

I could see people in the spring saying, "Why is that fountain shooting green fizzy bubbles in the air?" hahaha

[@carpnwiththemartins]

@@NathanKCutler lol oh it’s gonna be every colour of the rainbow 👊
Genius idea

[@TeamCarpFishing]

The mad scientist is back at work I see. Very cool idea and may just give it a go if I have time. Also looking mighty sharp in 4k, though the sharpness is putting alot of white hairs in the spotlight lol

[@NathanKCutler]

Funny you should say that, this is one of the few videos I watched back in 4k, the beard was trimmed shortly after. LOL

[@kevbridge6355]

Might be a silly question... but is it 100% safe for the carp to eat this? Will the reaction that is producing all the co2 bubbles still be happening in the carps guts?

[@NathanKCutler]

Solid question. The actual citric acid and baking soda dissolve quite rapidly, the reaction just pushes the flavour of your bait up into the water column quickly. I'd recommend only using a bit in each PVA Stick or Bag with the majority of the bait being crumbed boilies, stick mix, liquids or pellets. If one was to make a huge ball of just the fizz mix itself, it may last a few minutes, if a fish were to suck up some of the powder I bet it would dissolve before it was swallowed.

[@arronquinn1756]

I think this may be very similar to the Nash fizzing stick mix, I put a tea spoon in my PVA bag rugs and it works a treat. You are definitely gonna see more fish on the bank with your creation for sure

[@NathanKCutler]

I wish we could get Nash Bait here in Canada, their line up looks awesome.

[@martinhayden8234]

Could you not get the same affect by putting berroca in the stick mux

[@NathanKCutler]

I suppose or I've heard of folks using alka seltzer and specific fizzing fishing baits but this way is a bit easier on the pocket book.

[@peterp4223]

Nash secrete is out

[@NathanKCutler]

👀

[@jayb8179]

Take the salt out that's why pva won't melt

[@NathanKCutler]

100%, I've thought of adding some other ingredients instead such as tiger nut powder or crumbed boilies, lots of tweaking to do for sure.

[@simonepps6279]

Very old tactic
