I indeed use the bagged frozen corn. (on a small bronze hook) Nothing
fancy, I merely slide on 8-9 kernels (enough to cover the hook). Beef jerky
is too expensive for bait. Carp will sometimes take the hot dog bait, but
corn is more effective. Cats love meat/ carp love sweet. Both are very
sensitive to smell. (unbelievably so)

You mean the frozen corn in a bag from a grocery store? Do you use a
hair rig?

I just read of a big catfish caught on a piece of beef jerky. Ever
tried that?

Don't knock hot dogs as bait until you try it. My "picnic baits" (hot
dogs
and frozen corn) accounted for about 40 fish last year over 8 pounds.
Carp
have a sweet tooth and cats love meat; both feed by smell.
