Carp fishing is widespread in Europe and is gaining followers in the United States as well. Carp are attracted to sweet, crunchy baits that anglers often make themselves. Here are three recipes for making carp baits. Two of them require cooking, the third can be done directly on the fishing site.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Pasta Balls

Step 1. Combine the dry ingredients

Mix together 130g of flour and 260g of yellow flour in a bowl.

Step 2. Dissolve 45ml of strawberry jelly in 710ml of boiling water while still on the stove

Step 3. Combine the dry ingredients with boiling water

Step 4. Turn down the heat on the stove

Cook the bait for 5 minutes, always stirring.

Step 5. Remove the resulting paste from the heat

Let it cool down.

Step 6. Put the pasta in plastic bags and store it in the refrigerator

It can be kept for 1-3 weeks. Don't freeze it.

Step 7. Make balls of pasta when you need to go fishing

Method 2 of 3: Boiled balls

Step 1. Blend the dry ingredients in a large bowl

Combine 340g of yellow flour with 115g of brown sugar.

Step 2. Break 3 large eggs into flours

Add 60ml of cooking oil. Stir until you get a thick paste. It may be necessary to adjust the amounts of yellow flour or oil to achieve the right consistency.

Step 3. Add a few drops of red food coloring

Step 4. Rub your hands with cooking oil

This way the dough will not stick to the skin when you form the balls.

Step 5. Shape the dough into balls with a diameter of 2.5 cm

Step 6. Boil the balls in water for 2-3 minutes

The balls will swell considerably during cooking.

Step 7. Use a skimmer to recover the balls from the water

Let them dry on paper towels and wait for them to cool.

Leave them like this for 5-6 hours.

Step 9. Store the balls in a plastic food bag and put them in the freezer

Defrost them before using them.
