thanks

that web-site was good and i learnt a lot,
but what other cheap alternative baits could i use because i don't have
much confidence in cat food.

Bread and worms still work fine. You don't need -any- fancy rigs, just tie
a hook to the main line and either drop a worm in front of a feeding fish
and watch ... or float a crust over its head.

Now then, Derek, everybody knows that carp can read brand names, and
won't take your bait unless you have the latest rod-pod, bite alarms,
branded boilies, bivvy slippers, etc, and obscure bits of plastic and
metal making up a rig like a printed circuit board diagram :0)

Of course they can. They're snobs too, which means they're suckers for
exclusivity. You just need a brand name they haven't seen before, something
so rare that no carp angler in the last twenty years has taken it to the
waterside...

Say, er, Mother's Pride?

Cheerio,

Please don't. This is text only group. There is a fishing binaries group
iIrc but you're better putting the picture on your webspace and posting us a
link.

Better arrange a few spare Mb though in case you catch a shedful ;-)

Have fun. Cheerio,

Sounds good. Was Yates's 51 pounder caught on Green Giant sweetcorn, I
wonder, and was he using Harbutt's plasticine for weight?

Oh, it was, the key question is whether it was a fashionable brand of
sweetcorn :o)

Only if it has a stylised logo of a carp on the side of the sweetcorn system
all-weather, ruggedised valise.

Imo ....... you must have some strange old carp anglers in your neck of the
woods .... none like that in my part of the country.
