Best Bait For Winter Fishing?

no problem, but it is hard catching with corn, i read in a magazine that if you have a tin of green giant to use as feeders and a cheap tin of corn from lydl ( cant remember the name ofit) and use that 1 as a hook bait as its brighter and bigger and the green giant ones are softer but bit dull in colour, hope this helps mate,

hoping to catch a fish 2moz, hope lady luck is on my side and their is no rain or wind, fingers crossed.

i will have a look in lidls i have one close by, sunday looking to be best day of the weekend, good luck and thanks for the advice

Try hooking it like this if you have not had much luck.

green giant sweetcorn is the best stuff to buy also tesco's own brand is very good too there tougher and bright, failing that try artificial sweet corn it works extreamly well and stays on the hook much better.

try using both fake and real on the hook together for a po-up works quite well

if you were to place 1 grain of artificial sweetcorn on a hair thats where the real results lie, simply because it counter balances the weight of the hook and makes the whole bait presentation lighter (and not actually popped up) especially over ground bait when particles are getting blown all around by the fish sucking in and spitting out bait and when the carp comes across your counterbalanced bait it doesn't feel it go in until the hook is in the lip.

good tip there !!!
