Groundbaits & stick mixes

Groundbaits and stick mixes for carp fishing.

Groundbaits and stick mixes are the ideal base for your baiting spot. 

What are stick mixes for carp fishing? 

The best stick mixes consist of a combination of fine and coarse bait particles. These bait particles contain appetite-stimulating ingredients and sometimes also particles with oil in the base values. You can use this effectively when using PVA. Fill the PVA with crushed Boilies and attach the stick mix to your rig and cast it in. After the PVA dissolves, a nice attractive pile of carp bait will surround your hook bait, which will quickly be noticed by the carp due to its strong scent. 

 

What are Groundbaits for carp fishing?

Groundbaits is the English translation for bait. Bait, or groundbait for carp fishing, is different from regular bait used for coarse fishing. It often distinguishes itself by using ingredients that are also found in the boilie.
