Carp Fishing Bait Explained! Adam Penning reveals all

[@SHaKeRuk]

There are a handful or 2 of quality carp anglers willing to share their experience, knowledge and absolute passion for what we love to do and Adam Penning is one of them! To watch a man share his knowledge with the conviction and spirit that this fella does is a joy to watch. 👏🏻👍🏻

[@gazyates5228]

Great comment Totaly agree good honest advice 👍

[@davidshaw442]

VERY clever angler is Adam

[@AtlauaFishing]

When you say tiger nuts are the best baits for carp. I keep hearing mixed opinions about tiger nuts, yes they’re very good but I get told that they’re also very bad for carp? Is this true?

[@raywalpole9390]

Absolutely brilliant, shows where we have all been going wrong over the years. Back to basics and not following the trends of others.

[@leesurman2331]

It's defiantly about doing your own thing. Adam says he won't bother with clunky snowmen. But that's all Steve Briggs uses as a bottom bait and you know how many fish over 50lbs he has cought. Its what works for you

[@robertbex2600]

Adam penning on of my favorite carp anglers. A great angler of all times 👌👍

[@chrisbedford6542]

Just watched this after watching over 20 hours of other Anglers talking about bait. I have just learnt so much in one hour. Thank you for sharing and making bait easy to understand. Top bloke 👊

[@stephenbell3460]

adding gold fish flakes to the crumb works a treat

[@dancooper6893]

Can genuinely listen to this guy forever

[@domcrooke3079]

This is brilliant, new to carp fishing here and I used mainline cell boilies, half crushed, half whole, mixed with smart liquid and smart fish and I catapulted it over a ronnie rig with a saturated boilie screwed on and had bites every half hour, great to learn about the garlic powder and can’t wait to try it!

[@tmole4060]

Quality as always from a top angler and a top bloke.When he talks I listen his knowledge and thinking is second to none.Cheers fella 👍👍👍

The best carp bait video ever. Thank you very much

[@carlmarch9591]

Could listen to this all day mate absolutely gold Adam completely changed my tactics for June 16th tight lines lads

[@CarpShovels]

Like Adam strait to point as it is use his advice on our family lake nobody understands where the bigger carp co.e from they all use small sweetcorn maize I mix it up oils glug crumb and match the hatch and boom 💥 first 10 fish is all 20s wich in our lake big cause it all wild carp and never cought before but they don't crawl up the line but they love Bailey thanks Adam you Legend mate.

[@pro67]

Opened my eyes back up to the things I did years ago, great series Adam and thank you for doing them.

[@derekmallows6092]

Some fantastic Baiting Advice From Adam 👌

[@shaunoakman5609]

Love sticky baits, won't use anything else... always catch on it & the krill active has mullerd the lakes ive fished it on. Deffo can't wait for the new stuff to come out, keep it up sticky

[@davidbell5619]

Excellent. I learned a lot from this video.

Valuable info ideas to introduce into your angling , uncomplicated is natural and less scary to carp Lot of sense from Adam Penning

[@jakeripley1282]

My pb was with vitalin and with a single Boillie on the hair

[@davidryley4162]

Wow, did this gem open my eyes. Blew the tiger nut tins and jars out of the water. I for one, won't buy tins any more. Well done Adam. This was melting my brain. The knowledge i took in will stay with me forever. Thanks pal. Youre the best.

[@_ST4_]

My PB came on just 2 pieces of corn, on a hair rig, on the bottom, over a small hand full of casters and maggots, about 2 rod-lengths down the margin in a 9ft gully that connected the two ends of the lake. I didn't even have to cast it out, I just dropped it on the spot about a foot or two from the bank and walked it a couple of metres down to the alarms. Most people recommended fishing over a bed of the pellet they're fed on but going against the grain can often produce and it was fishing very hard. It's still the biggest common landed at that lake. I find casters and maggots usually prove irresistible to carp and I use them everywhere I go if I can and often as a hookbait as well. Simple, well executed tactics can often be foolproof. Brilliant content as always from a straight talking, down to earth bloke, invaluable information for beginners to seasoned anglers and anyone in between. It has been a pleasure to watch. Tight lines and best of luck to everyone 👍

[@wNNdSharK]

This is gold, indeed. But how do we dare adding those liquids to our bait mix when we use pva bags that start dissolving the second they come in contact with our not so dry bait mix...?

[@freespool8772]

Tigers starting to smell vinegary, bin for fresh cooked again or keep ?

[@colinbaker2895]

hi Adam, when do you advise adding the thaumatin B to the tigers, would you do this at the start or after the boiling, thank you.

[@thehampshirecarper.]

Spot on..... exactly what I’ve been looking for. New to carp fishing. Bait was one thing I had many questions about. Now I feel a bit more confident heading out for first time. Thank you.

Probably one of the best videos on catching carp that I’ve ever seen. Thank you Adam🙌👏

[@alanpawson7745]

Thanks for the information give it a go fishing all this weekend

[@ianfoley41]

What a fantastic video. The thing that put me off carp fishing was the amount if money you had to spend on kg on kg of boilies. What a refreshing outlook. Better get down the tackle shop and get some carp gear.

[@Krom1hell]

Just wanting to point out a thing....If I'm catching 10 carp through the whole summer/year.....I'll give up on fishing....... I'd probably go with 10 x 30-40 lbs a session of 3 days..... That's my opinion....

[@James-sw5xz]

Saw him at "The Big One" at Farnborough a few years back, he's the real deal. Had time for everyone, hopefully catch him down one of our local syndicates sometime. Tight Lines Adam :)

Brilliant once again Adam, thank you. Keep it up. Just a quick one, can you use your boilie crumb mixed with baileys/cloudy liquid/condensed milk (third of each) in pva stocking? many thanks. tight lines. Francis

Adam P and Terry Hearn are the two main anglers worth listening to in my opinion....and this was a brilliant video again 👍

Adam penning really talks so much sense and the amount of incredible tips you get from him in one show is exceptional 👍🏻

[@Nshuzoo]

Good insight and great watch , have just been out and got a load of sticky bloodworm pellets ,boilies , have also gone back to bottom baits and simple mono rigs with small mesh pva bags and just getting into solid pva bags , doing a autumn/winter session on my local club water until it gets to cold 🥶 let's see how It goes 😀

[@stuartnewman6968]

I've learnt the most about fishing in general from Adam. I am not strictly a carp fisherman but it's still great advice and tips which helps My fishing. Thankyou.

[@trevornield236]

brilliant as always adam , always enjoy your stuff

[@NEbes0310]

Absolutely love this series. Please keep them coming. The most informative collection of videos I’ve seen for a long time! 👍🏻

[@SPS_survivor]

Cheers Adam, first time I’ve come across your videos and it’s a real eye opener to me, it really doesn’t have to cost the earth for a good session, only trouble is that a lot of the lakes I fish don’t allow tigers and I dunno why?! I’ve been sat here watching and writing notes. All comes down to the preparation and willingness to try different things and ignore what others are doing and feeling confident. Really enjoyed your videos. Cheers!! By the way - I’d have to take at least two bottles of baileys as although the carp love it, so do I. Thanks 😊

[@harryfaithfull4408]

Great watch. Very eye opening

[@Bad_Boy-Kraken]

Sweetcorn is a great bait why...visual. Top 3 selling boilies...Sticky Manilla, Mainline Cell, CC Moore Live System, all basically the same colour, great video.

[@oliverobrien8908]

Absolutely love these videos! Adam has such a good way of coming across and is fast becoming my favourite angler 👌👌

[@lukemcmahon9476]

@@carpologytv what would you do in the case of lots of krayfish been present in the lake would a wafter be a better option?

[@andrewhudson3352]

Irrespective of aftertaste preservatives have a negative affect. Digestion in carp is aided by the bacteria in the gut. A preservative prevents the growth of or kills the micro-organisms which are so important to the carp’s ability to digest and make available for absorption the content of the boilies.

[@garrywright2120]

Where does he buy a 15 quid sack of vitalin for a tenner? Do they also do rods?

[@gh-vi9tk]

Think he meant a 15lb sack/bag . Anyway, bit more than a tenner now.

[@bumpyjason]

DNA bait is my go to, I had a 30 after a 10 year break from fishing, on a clay pit, just found some elusive gravel and had two out, there was 10 of us booked on the lake for 5 nights, I was only there for one night because I had to go, £100 wasted but out of all the other anglers using bait boats etc for the 5 days, I still had the biggest, so DNA all day long, and they were shelf life

[@benbrookes2480]

Loving this video, this whole pop up/Ronnie bollocks that everyone seems to be doing has never really done as well for me, bottom baits blended into loose feed has always worked better personally. A bright pop up hovering above the deck is surely way too obvious and will spook most carp swimming over it

[@zaccbrennan]

Yet again another smashing rammed with valuable information video. Top guy adam thanks very much

[@liamharris4861]

Remember an episode of thinking tackle, where they fished sky lakes in France an typical every one fished the done thing of beds of particles on tight spotted areas, yet he chose to fish strict boilie scattered around, which proved the theory that the continuous done thing on a lake isn't always the best way forward and doing things your own and putting that effort in can bring greater rewards, in that epsiode he absolutely smashed the lake up, compared to everyone else spodding particle, give alot of great knowledge we can all use

[@MrCarpking71]

I remember that episode too. I think he ran out of bait he caught so many and had to get someone from korda to drop off more bait.

[@liamharris4861]

@@MrCarpking71 I think your right I'm sure they had to bring him another sack of bait

[@mrhackslondon2530]

I hate anglers disturbing the swim,rushing to set up at the first swim.Fixed opinion what the best bait is.Leave all your gear in the car,watch the water and concentrate and get there at first light.I'm a lobworm lover just float fishing can put it in with very little disturbance,they never sense worm as danger.But yeah 100 percent location is the most important thing.I would love to make my videos as good as this :) I've got a video on here how to unhook carp on here i had the fish out too long i won't do that again.Thanks for the great advice

[@brendanmajer7623]

Hi Adam I can relate to what you've said about small single baits...I tried size 10 hook with a single hook bait 8mm wafter instead of heavy baiting...I beat my pb twice in same session...this was on a lake where its heavy on natural food n just wanted try something different from others around me

[@kghwanadoo]

Adam, wHat an awesome video, thanks for putting it out. I’m of the same generation as you, started carp fishing in the late 80’s, (ok so a bit older) I’ve come back to it over the last year after a 20 year period I fish small qtys of bait in high pressure waters but some of these ideas and thought processes have got me thinking how to catch even more and go against the tide. I love krill, krill powder and tigers, just started using them so this is brill.

[@fridaynightcarper3828]

Another excellent video! Brilliantly explained again by Mr Penning, just love the 'simplicity' message. Might have to adopt the rule of seven and see how lucky it is :-)

[@Northstar-Media]

Home made Custard powder boilies work every time & don't take a season to break down. Sense of smell is totally different for fish & not necessarily attracted to the same aromas as humans & think bait manufactures are useing to complex mixes to catch the angler's

[@richardbarrett7544]

I don't doubt your sincerity for one second Adam, but if you were working for Nash your liking would be for Nash bait. The problem is, when an angler moves company for whatever reason and talks tackle bait, his credibility is on the line. You only get one chance at being taken seriously, so I hope your recent moves do well for you mate? Best wishes from me.

I normally buy my bait from a local bait roller at 7 quid a kilo for good bait, a Robin Gold krill GLM bait, i use Sticky hook baits most of the time the two go well together if caught short for freezer bait Sticky are also my go to shop bought bolies.

[@gazolaist]

Hi Adam, great video great advice. Just a couple of questions how long do the prepared tigers keep for ? You said these have been in the bucket for a couple of months , but later you say they will keep for 2 maybe 3 weeks, also do you freeze them with the liquid ?
