I was told that carp like them so I've tried them a few times without
success....you can get them in tins, simply drain off the sal****er, rinse
and use - or if you prefer to do them yourself, get the dried ones, steep
them for at least 24 hours and use.
You can put them on a hair rig...as I said, I've never had a bite on them
but those who use them regularly say that they do work....you may find that
waters' where the carp are hammered will take unusual baits and avoid
pellets, corn, boilies meat etc.
