These have worked on the singles I caught a few weeks ago in the Ebay method feeders. Shoving a hook into the Q seemed just as difficult for me as it did for whoever's ronnie rig video I was watching. Have some of the bottom link on the way.

Lime Green Spectra 30 lb. braid for all carp I've caught. Green sharpie to the first 15 yards of line as the combo was for catfish. Don't know if the moss green makes a difference.

When you know the price of sweetcorn, oatmeal, and hemp, but not the price of milk.

Let me rephrase. For those using fake food and soaking with your real bait, how do you keep them separated?
Leave it on the hooklength
Tuck it in the corner
etc. -

I fish whenever i have the time...regardless of the weather! It's why I have a rainsuit, fishing gloves and winter clothes! The only time I won't give it a try is if the water is real high at the rivers or the lakes are frozen over. I've landed nice fish in nasty winter weather
Lake was mostly frozen this afternoon when I got there. Duck stuck out in the center, and two dead shads? on the bank. I am headed to Texas for Christmas and will bring back my cold weather clothes. Still don't know if I want to be fishing or hunting with all the seasons open.

yeah it's gallon so prob 9-10 pounds... it's real thick and viscous.
When I run out of the Tink's I got on sale for $6 the stuff you posted will work out to be cheaper. At this rate though it will probably be June of next year. Try to stay inside if the high is less than 8C.

No it's "wildgame innovations - sweet corn crush juiced deer attractant". Got it at Dick's
Ah, now I remember. Would you say the full bottle weighs about 10 lbs.? Also, if you are planning on trying it in a PVA, let us know if it works or not.

I recently found this amazing yellow soft foam that I am going to slice up and dunk in corn deer feed attractant.....it has all the great characteristics....soft and full of air.....it should do great...
Is this the Tink's Boost stuff I photographed a month or two ago?

Now that I have some floating and sinking corn, I would like to use it wisely.
I have read about drilling holes in it, or slicing it to let the soak in, but what do you do, and what are you soaking your bait in? -
I noticed that at Kroger for oats, but the hemp was $2/lb. and cheaper than I had seen it other places. The only issue is that no one I know CPR fishes for carp here. Anyone in Ohio want to go halfsies?

I live in Kentucky, but make my way up to Cincinnati, up to Xenia, and over to Wilmington every few weeks. I am hoping to get away from just oats, but don't have a house to store 50 lb. bags of everything. I've looked in most stores in my area, and can only find hemp by the pound. Are there any stores that I should be looking for that sell sweet feed, chicken feed, range cubes, maize, oats, etc. by the pound, or in less than 40 lb. bags?

After reading some over the weekend, I changed two things.
I was using quick oats, which I think is part of the problem, so I mixed in some Tink's sweet corn deer attractant and old fashioned oats into the remaining quick oats mix I had, and I changed out to garbanzo beans. I put a small glass jar with a vanilla extract/Brita filtered water mix in the microwave for 30 seconds, then added 15 garbanzo beans, put the lid on and let soak overnight. Poured the liquid into the mix, and kept the beans in the jar. Next time I will do ten beans, and much less or no water. I was worried that nuking the water might cause problems, but a channel cat, a mirror and a common bigger than my 24" net convinced me otherwise. 42" net is on it's way from BCT as the handle was broken by the cameraman, the method feeders I ordered arrived really quickly, and the yoga mat will be coming along.

For Grass Carp we like to use soybean pack bait packed around the lead or method feeder and use blowback and combi rigs with either corn or pop-up boilies. We bait up 2-3 days in row with birdseed or chicken scratch. We'll throw 20lbs of bait the first day, 15lbs the next, and the 10lbs the day before we fish. We have had a lot of luck with that technique catching grass carp up to 44lbs. You can watch videos on grass carp fishing on our YouTube channel. Let us know if this helps!
What are you chumming with? Have links to a website, and how are you putting that much out?

Guess I need to burn through my quick oats and get back to old fashioned.
-
Panko vs. Oats vs. Sweet Feed for packbait base? Anyone have thoughts?

I've used imitation corn for years and had great success with or without method / pack.
My guess is that the pop-up corn is floating the hook away from the method/pack as you suggest. I would get some regular (non buoyant) corn or as someone else suggested add a small piece of shot or tungsten putty just behind the hook ( or even on the hair between the hook and the imitation corn like a KD rig) to keep it anchored.
Savayman, it’s a shallow lake, and there wasn’t much chop on the water. I plopped an almost empty method feeder in the margins to let the oats soak and come off, and the hook was floating above the feeder.
I am looking into slow sinking corn right now, but waiting for other things to come in stock at BCT and thinking about trying some real stuff for the time being.4 hours ago, Savayman said:I also use soft braid as a hook link instead of a stiffer material as that can push the hook etc away from the method/pack. I also use a simple set up with a #6 or #8 hook and had 100% hook sets in the bottom lip.
The hooklink is 30 lb. braid, and is about as supple as I would want fishing line to be. Small “chod” hooks, and bought some wide gapes that I have on one rig. I picked up some belachan at the Vietnamese market today, so I will try to wrap a floater in it, and I am soaking two more kernels in Grenadine. Only have two method feeders left as one cracked off, and I think I left the other at the lake, as is probably gone now. Got some more in the mail.
4 hours ago, Savayman said:Lastly don't be in too much of a hurry to 'strike'... I used a pellet method with a piece of white imitation corn (see photo) to catch some very big carp to 55lb in Italy this past September. The bobbin was being bounced around for as long as 5 minutes as the carp messed with the method before finally sucking in the hook and the rod being pulled hard around.
If I see a twitch I will get up, but won't touch the rod unless it's physically moving (small rod with no baitclicker), or the big reel is singing. I'm out for 4-5 hours. No hurry except getting the fish back in the water safely.

I had thought I had ordered sinking corn from Enterprise, and flavored floating corn from Korda.
I had been applying Grenadine before casting, but evidently I need to soak, use a longer lasting attractant, use some real corn in combination, or leave the fake stuff in the tackle box.
I have a can of sweet corn, so I will use in my next batch and try one rod with sweet corn and floater, and one with straight sweet corn. I was hoping to avoid constant hair rig fiddling. -
Had sweet corn on the hair, and had several hookups, with 3 at the bank and 2 in the net. I switched to popup maize the next week, and the line is moving, but there are no takes. Still putting the hook and hair on top of the packbait in the method feeder, but wondering if the hook is floating away, and the packbait is being eaten without the hook.
Weather has been different, location the same, pack bait a little different.
Has anyone else experienced this? It's Enterprise from BCT if it matters. -
No Anise, but Vanilla was $2.49 for the big bottle and Raspberry was 99 cents. Couldn't find the Anise. A pic would be nice if someone has one.

Ollie's is 5 minutes from a delivery I'm making today. Time to spend some money.

I used the peanut suet in my panko and cream corn pack bait. I also use chicken feed from time to time. I like the peanut suet. Peanut powder is also something you can use but the straight powder is kind of expensive to use in pack bait. That's why I found the peanut suet.
Yes. I use the one you linked to from Home Depot.
I like to use chicken feed instead of bird seed. The chicken feed doesn't float and you don't have to boil it.
I like to flavor some flavored field corn (deer corn) and mix that in my pack bait too. I bought a 25 bag that has lasted me for two years.
Costco has Honeyville Organic Peanut Butter Powder Bag. 32 oz for $12.79
I picked up the peanut suet as I was fishing close to an HD. Do you crush them, or just soak them? -
Sun was behind me, but here are two that I got in on oats, corn, grenadine and chili powder in a method feeder. Can't tell, but it second picture a fully scaled mirror or a common with problems?
Got the first pic in the bottom of the mouth, and the second came out when I got in on land. -

Many ACE Hardware stores sell 20lb bags of bird seed for $10. Quite a steal.
Do you boil or fish as is?
