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)
