The Best Bait Brands for Carp Fishing: A Total Fishing Tackle Review

Bait is an important element of carp fishing, without it, we catch nothing after all. But, what are the best brands to look for when choosing a bait supplier? 
We have made the task of choosing a bait company by only stocking products from companies that we would use ourselves. Anything you see on our website comes highly recommended by the team here at TFT. 

WHAT MAKES A GOOD BAIT COMPANY?

Firstly, as mentioned above, you can shop with us in complete peace of mind because we only stock products that we would absolutely use ourselves. But even so, we have shortlisted three of the most popular bait ranges that we stock here at TFT.

We looked for a variety of products, boilies, pellets, liquids, hook baits etc. We also looked for the bait brands that we see down at Berners Hall and those that are used by the anglers in the TFT office. Now, it is important to note that we have only chosen three companies, that does not mean that any of the others we stock are not as good, we just don't have the room to mention them all!

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Sticky Baits - Bait is an important- 'Copious amounts of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into our comprehensive range of products, with each one undergoing an extensive testing period before being released. We feel there is something for everyone in the range, which is not just tailored to carp anglers. Stringent quality control and a passionate outlook on bait production have left us with a bait range that not only works instantly and has great attraction, but also helps maintain a healthy future for every fishery.'

Mainline Baits - 'Talk Carp Bait and before long the name Mainline Baits will be mentioned. This is because since Mainline Baits was founded it has been synonymous with the highest quality carp baits possible, and the capture of carp from all over the world.

Mainline's concept of offering the angler a fantastic bait whilst at the same time offering the carp a valuable food source ensures that all our baits stand the test of time when used on any water, so much so in fact that repeat captures on the same bait are normal as the carp just can't get enough; summer or winter makes little difference.

Using the best carp bait is fundamental in the pursuit of carp, as your success revolves around carp and their feeding habits. Mainline's contacts in the food industry presented us with a wealth of opportunities in terms of research and product availability both at home & abroad.'

DNA Baits - We know bait inside out, the ingredients that make it effective, and why. This means we use only the finest natural powdered ingredients, not just for nutrition, but for attraction, part of the puzzle that can often get overlooked when attempting to make food baits. Where possible we also keep any synthetic flavours to an absolute minimum.

There is a time and place for flavours certainly, but wherever possible we prefer our attraction to be completely au naturel, built right into the core of the bait. This creates a unique taste profile and ensures the carp keep coming back time and time again. An incredible amount of effort goes into balancing the profiles of these boilies to ensure the carp are getting as much out of the bait as possible. We don’t think it’s possible for quality baits to blow and, to be honest, the whole idea of this is a bit of an urban myth, and certainly these days with the massive variety of bait our carp see day on day.
