How To Prepare Particles For Carp Fishing - Catch more carp and spend less money!

Particle baits like hemp, maize and tiger nuts work very well for carp, but you must prepare them properly to make sure the carp want to eat it and can digest them too. This video explains the best particle baits, how to boil and soak them and what baits work well in certain situations.

Love these videos!! I've only been Carp fishing for 18 month after 2 "friends" got me into it. Please please please don't fall for the "you must buy this expensive stuff" to catch carp rubbish! Every time I went near a bait shop I spent 100 quid and had nothing but a tiny bag to show for it. I started ignoring the trend and doing things my own way, keeping things cheap and simple as possible. I search for boillie overolls, nothing wrong with them and 80% are perfect. The other 20% I blitz up and use as flake or powder in solid bags. The 3 of us went to a lake for 4 days, me with my cheap baits and everyone else with literally £100s in bait.... I was the only one who caught carp. If you have endless money and want the best kit that's fine, if you are on a budget like most of us ignore the mainstream and just remember, carp love to eat, so don't care if your bait is £5 a kilo or £50!. Good luck to all and most importantly,.... enjoy your fishing 👍👊

Great video, why do so many fisheries not allow the use of tiger nuts

[@bdkoi1]

Awesome

[@marekkafarek272]

I have tested it many times and I never add salt before cooking of maize seed as well. It will take way longer to get them softer if you add salt in the beginning, just add it for last 10minutes of cooking in the end after seeds get softer.

[@pieterlabuschagne7507]

We use maize a lot in South Africa.

[@jonathancunliffe]

Have you guys got a update on the Park Lake for us?

[@claudioestrada1266]

hi man good videos congratz.Just a question if you are on a big lake using this spod mixes it will atract the smaller fish too? because i usualy do 2 fishing sites like 1 of the with the boilies and the other more close with the corn and seeds so i can have a place with the smaller fish and other with the big ones. If annyone can explain to me i would be gratefull

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks so much Claudio!! Yes it is likely to attract fish of all sizes. Yes exactly - to avoid small fish, only use boilies and tiger nuts. Hope this helps!

[@chrisray3462]

This is quite the mix. Really for in close fishing otherwise how would you get this out? Here in the US, Tiger Nuts are hard to find and I wonder if our carp would even see them as a food source. You guys are great, thanks for continuing to build your brand.

[@fishingtutorials]

Hi there, in the margins we'd throw it out but use a spomb or boat if fishing at more distance! :)

I prepared maize years ago and stored it in an air tight container. I plan on trying carp fishing again. When I opened the bucket the maize looks fine but it is hard since it sat so long. Can I use it like this or do I need to do something to soften it up again? I'd appreciate your advice! Dan

[@Rileytheplant]

Keep tiger nuts covered in the liquid you boil them in and let them ferment in a bucket for a few days before using them 👍🏼

[@markmason13]

Bream do not like chilli so I use a lot of it in my spod mix.

[@tylersadventures6647]

where do you get your bait from

[@cwilliam5697]

another way get some cheap 2mil, porridge oats some condensed milk some hemp and couple of boiles crushed very good partical mix and you can put a good amount in and they will take it fast

[@andreastrulsson8862]

so lets say that i wanna prep and bulk up on shit ton of particles, how do i store them after theyve been prepared? Like what is the shelf life of prepared particles or should i just prepare the ammount of particles needed for the session i'm planning? All the best lads

[@fishingtutorials]

It will keep for a few days just fine in a bucket, but we've noticed it will go horrible after a week or so. Only make up how much you intend to use. You can prolong its freshness by submerging your particles in fresh water, and then changing the water every day.

[@centrepulse7660]

i heard that the water where the tigers have been soaked in could have toxic substances in it. is this tru or not?

[@gamerrio8511]

Hi Carl

The dry bait causing problems is an urban legend. Think about all the corn that falls in the water by a barge in the US.

[@billoddy1645]

Monster particles always have a great deal on, id rather pay a couple quid extra but save all the time preparing, i earn alot an hour so makes no sense for me to be prepping particles

[@NeoL0007]

do a carp fishing episode bangladeshi style

[@KG-jp6rx]

Why would particles be harmful? In nature they get blown in water and are uncooked. Carp dont have stomachs but alimemtary canals the start digesting the particles as they pass through. Also the carps pharyngeal teeth are designed to grind and crush. Also do carp ingest enough water to swell the particles?

[@fishingtutorials]

Yes like us, the use water in their digestive process, particle can swell inside inside their digestive tract if they eat it uncooked.

[@brendanbrendan527]

When is the next Carl and Alex session?

[@fishingtutorials]

Next week hopefully!

[@jahrolo]

I´m still not sure about the "dry particles can cause harm to carp" thing - the digestive system of carp is very robust (remember, they´re eating mussels and clams in whole) and also it works in 2 to 3 hours. Maize takes at least 24 hours to spring. So it shouldn´t really matter if you boil the particles or not. They are just more attractive when they´re boiled :)

[@davidhopkins9021]

I think its more the fact the particals will swell up

[@fishingtutorials]

Mussels and clams do not take on water and expand when placed underwater, particles can expand and take on water, when this happens inside a fish, it is absorbing the fish's internal fluids to take on said water. This is what can cause fish fish problems. :)

[@jahrolo]

@@fishingtutorials I know all that ;) But, again, the digestive system at least of carp works in between 2 and 3 hours. I don´t think there is a particle that takes a harmful dose of water in this small amount of time. But of course I could be wrong though.

[@fishingtutorials]

@@jahrolo Chuck a load of un prepared particles in your garden pond. The fish will either die, struggle to digest it, or not eat it at all. :)

[@rogercude1459]

I've seen whole areas of lakes just die after idiots have baited heavily with tigers! In summer if not eaten it doesn't take long for the nuts to go sour an start to rot on the lake bed they look ok but go soft an they stink like Dog Shit! Get the goo inside them on your hand an the smell is hard to get rid of.

[@Dannny1067]

Dont drain your partical mix, most of the liquid will be absorbed during cooling. Then add pellets an hour before you want to use it, theyll absorbed the rest of the liquid.

[@That_one_skater_]

but how do you use it in a pva bag if its prepared with water?

[@fishingtutorials]

I wouldn't go for particle in a pva bag as you can't use anything wet. I normally use pellet or crushed up boilies :)

Hi guys! Have you ever tried stinky fermented maize?

[@fishbloke5636]

Why have you not uploaded for a month?

[@markolukic6376]

Why do you have to cook it?

[@fishingtutorials]

It needs to be soaked or cooked well so it swells before a fish eats it and so becomes safe. Uncooked particle is small to begin with so can then swell inside the fish and can kill it. So overcooking the bait is always safer than undercooking it so the fish eats what it can actually fit inside of it's digestive system.

[@markolukic6376]

@@fishingtutorials ok thanks, how long does it need to be soaked if i am not going to cook. I soaked it for 24 hours and cooked it now, it became softer but size didnt really change, would it be ok to only soak it?
