Floating Baits

[tree catcher]

Last summer i got into surface fishing for carp.

I had lots of good fun with floating crust on a hook.
Dog biscuits were winners too.

Can anyone recommend other hookable floating baits ?

Has anyone tried Oily Floaters by Sonu ?????

Would a floating hair rig method work ?
I thought about putting a cork ball on the hair and covering it with paste . My worry is what about it the fish swallows the cork ball !!

Cheers

Tree Catcher,

I have used hair rigs to surface fish, You just have to make sure it's not too heavy and the floating baits you use should keep it boyant, I have used hair rigged dog biscuit to good effect,
Good luck and Tight lines

Hi Tree Catcher
you can use any food that floats try putting a tin of corn into a bait tub off water and use the corn that floats or try sugar puffs ,cheerios or a pop up boilie the list is endless
hope this helps

All I use mate is loose feed of dog biscuit and once they start competing for the bait then they don't know what's what then I use a Fruitella pop up on a hair rig. Had many fish on that!

We are not allowed to fly fish because the local council own the pond so won't deny access to non fishers

The only trouble with Fruitella's is... i like em to !

Will give em a go for sure
