Looks good! What flavor you got in there?
-
I don't get it. What actually causes it to explode? Is it a chemical reaction or just a button or lever that's tripped when it hits bottom?
I think that the rubber band looking thing that closes it might be made of thick PVA and the bait is packed inside. So when the band dissolves a bit and breaks the pressure of the bait packed in it kinda causes an explosion effect.

Chick Peas give me gas especially in hummus. Hey, now there's a baiting stategy use chick peas and watch for the bubbles!

Purists tend to be insufferable snobs, in many pursuits, carp fishing included. LOL Flyfishermen will either have to embrace you as one of them or they can hold their nose in the air and wave their rod about all day! If it's a tactic that works, use it What matters is that you're having fun.

Cool video. One of the first national TV shows I've seen that the whole show was about carp. There needs to be more TV shows about carp fishing.
-
Nope pen. It's shaped like a pen and telescopic.
-
I guess it qualifies as Extreme because it was caught on a rod called extreme.
-
Great gesture.
-
Very cool story. If only we could keep the bowfishermen from taking trophy sized carp in the US!

Paul always gives great service.
Paul Rocks!!
I agree! I have had a problem with an order here or there, but all it took was an e-mail or phone call and Paul took care of it. Great products and great customer service!

Seriously...N Butryic on it's own is terrible. That's why I take it outside to mix into the flavor. Once in the flavor the once "mulberry" is now "VERY MULBERRY" fragrance and taste increased dramatically, that's why you'll find it as an ingredient in many foods. Made the mistake of opening N Butyric in the house the first time I bought it....my usually cooperative/understanding wifey just looked at me and said "never again." LOL!!!
That is true. I had some plum flavoring that smelled a little on the chemical side, very artificial, I added some Wacker AAMaize N-Butyric and the bait I was making smelled like natural plums. I was amazed at how it smoothed the scent down and made it more natural.

Mulberry/N Butyric. Made the bottom hookbaits this afternoon...white n purple, 14mm to 22 mm. Wife loves the fragrance in the house.
Sorry Bob, but I somehow doubt it! LOL

I also notice that Fallfish seem to like a stronger current. If you can find a calmer section of river it may help.
-
I know I'm late to this thread, but I know a thing or 2 about river fishing and know about fallfish as well. I have to say that if there was a flavor to avoid in an area with fallfish it would be Pineapple. I have never caught a carp using a pineapple flavored bait, but I've caught dozens of fallfish using pineapple flavored baits. Fallfish will eat anything, raw bacon, bread, corn, doughball, worms, chicken liver, plastic grubs, shrimp etc. If they are in the area you are going to catch them. I always thin the herd by keeping every fallfish I catch and cut it up for catfish bait. They make excellent cut bait. As others have recommended maybe try artificial corn, or boiled field corn/maze.

I use 2 rigs exclusively. A running rig that is simply a no roll sinker, a rubber bead, a black #7 crane swivel, a leader 6-12" long, a split shot half way down the leader, and a hook usually hair rigged.
The other is a bolt rig that is just a inline flat pear lead, a #8 swivel, 6-12" leader, a split shot half way down the leader and a hook usually hair rigged.
-
My suggestion would be to work on your dough recipe to make it tougher. You could use a method feeder as Solar suggests and use maize on a hair as bait. IMHO boilies are overrated, and expensive for the most part. You could also use flavored sweet corn on a hair with 1 piece of pop up corn on the end.
-
I used to use the Peach & whiskey Nash boilies many years ago and they would out fish any other bait I used.
Looks like Southern Comfort boiles will be on someone's hair this season. Not mine, I'm a doughball man.
-
From what I've read Nash used to make whiskey boilies, and they were made with distillers waste not actual drinkin' liquor.
-
That's a cool idea. Thanks for sharing it. I cringed a bit when you were using that razor knife to cut holes in the tube. I was saying to my computer screen "use a drill, you're going to cut yourself!"
-
The area of the river I fish sees very little if any pressure other than me. There's one other guy on our campground that fishes for carp on ocassion. Baiting up I go with sweet feed, range cubes and a method mix thrown in not attached to weight/feeder or over the hookbait. I go with either flavored Oatmeal doughballs or sweet corn for hookbait, usually on a hair rig. I avoid Strawberry, Vanilla and Anise flavoring because if the carp see any flavors with regularity it would be those 3. Most every angler around here that makes doughballs uses Strawberry Jell-O, Vanilla Extract or Anise flavoring from the super market. I'm sure that one day the pressure in my area of the river will increase. Guys see me haul in a nice one and they start asking questions and eyeballin' my rigs, and tackle. I'm glad to give them general tips,but keep bait secrets to myself, and never let anyone see me baiting my swim. LOL

Dunkel,
As long as you have other binders then sweet feed would be a usable replacement for calf manna.
Yes the recipe I was talking about was boiled cracked or steam crimped maize, layer crumbles (chicken feed), and calf manna.
-
I use it in a spod or spomb. I always wondered if it would work in the method recipe that's in the tutorial section. If it could replace calf manna that would rock as calf manna is kinda pricey.
