Choosing Coarse Bait

Most sessions use a feed and a hookbait that match, such as a pellet groundbait with a hook pellet or a sweet crumb with corn.

Water temperature changes how much bait a swim can take. In summer fish eat more feed, while in winter a little groundbait and a single bright hookbait often works better.

Groundbait is mixed with water to form balls or a method mix that breaks down on the bottom. Pellets and particles add bigger food items that hold fish in the swim for longer.

Liquids and powders boost the smell of feed and hookbaits, which helps in cold or coloured water. Hookbaits such as wafters and hard pellets sit on the hair or the hook and match the feed going in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between groundbait and feed pellets?

Groundbait is a fine crumb that is mixed with water and breaks down into a cloud of small particles. Feed pellets are compressed food items that hold their shape for longer on the bottom.

Can I use carp bait for coarse fishing?

Many carp baits catch tench, bream and barbel, but most are larger than coarse fish need. Smaller pellets, mini boilies and 6mm or 8mm hookbaits suit most coarse species better.

How much bait should I take for a day session?

A 1kg bag of groundbait and a 1kg bag of pellets is plenty for most pleasure sessions. Match anglers often take more so they can change mixes as the day goes on.

Do I need liquid additives?

They are not essential, but liquids can help in cold or coloured water when fish rely more on smell. A light coating on the feed is usually enough.
