I have been reading Tim’s work for many years, his writing and ideas have always evoked plenty of thought about different baits, its application and most importantly trying to catch more and larger carp! We discussed testing some baits in tanks with mature lake-caught boilie-wary fish and at a fishery as well as in a highly-pressured big carp angling situation. It wasn’t until I had discussed and witnessed the full potential of Tim’s unique method of bait creation and application with Tim that I could fully appreciate its power and attractiveness to carp! I.e. using the baits in a pressured big carp fishing situation! The next single night session I trialed the bait I used a conventional leading brand boilie on one rod and Tim’s homemade paste baits on the other. The rod with the readymade boilie had no action at all throughout the night. Tim’s homemade paste bait received lots excitingly what I believed to be pick ups – and here is the result; one of the very few lake’s biggest carp!
