Every one has their go to carp bait. Well mine is strange but very effective. I am in South Australia catching common carp. Plain white bread, bread flower and raspberry or strawberry jelly ( also called jello )crystals. Mix the bread and a lot of jelly crystal, make it moist ( not wet )so that you can knead it like any other bread dough. Add flower to make it bind and stiffen so you can take a piece and it does not stick to you hand. That's it, just roll into a small ball and mold it around the hook. If stiff enough will cast far and stay on hook. Carp love sweet stuff. Try it and see. Even stranger is " Red raspberry licorice " the stronger the sweetness and flavour the better. cut into small pieces and feed onto hook. Sounds dumb but it works.
