Which baits are most effective for carpfishing in spring?

Spring is one of the best times for carpfishing: carp awaken from their winter torpor, move more often in search of food and are more likely to bite. However, choosing the right carpfishing baits in this season can make the difference between a successful day and one without even a single bite. In this article, we will look at which baits work best in spring, how to use them and what strategies to adopt to maximise catches.

But what is carpfishing?

Carpfishing is a specific sport fishing technique for catching carp, characterised by a strategic and selective approach. Unlike traditional fishing, carpfishing aims to catch large specimens, releasing them after they are caught in a way that respects the environment and the fish.

The best baits for spring carpfishing

With the arrival of spring, carp become more active, but their metabolism is still recovering after the winter months. To achieve results, it is essential to choose highly digestible and attractive carp baits that stimulate feeding without weighing down the fish.

• Pop-up boiles. Pop-upsare a variant of classic boilies, but with one key feature: they float. Thanks to their light structure and expansive composition, they rise from the bottom, making them particularly visible and attractive to carp.
• Carpfishing pellets. The carpfishing bait pellet is an extremely effective bait in carpfishing, prized for its ability to quickly attract fish thanks to the gradual release of flavours and nutrients. Unlike bait pellets, which dissolve quickly to create an area of attraction, the bait pellet is designed to last longer in the water, maintaining firmness and attractiveness.
