Boilies, Stick Mix, and More
When you shop for carp bait online, you’ll likely find tried-and-true angler favorites like boilies, tiger nuts, and corn. There are numerous advantages to using baits like these for carp angling.
- They’re Affordable – Carp angling, unlike fishing for other species, doesn’t require live bait — in fact, carp anglers get the best results with boilies and other scent-based baits. And in the long run, these can be cheaper than live bait for other freshwater fishing.
- They’re Simple – Boilies and other artificial bait are much simpler to fish with than fishing with live bait for other species. If a carp runs away with your bait, you can reel up, rebait, and recast in less than a few minutes, maximizing your time on the water.
FAQs
What is the best carp bait?
While carp anglers are hesitant to divulge their most successful baits, carp can bite on a wide variety of angling bait, like:
- Boilies, Stick Mix, and Tiger Nuts – Pre-made bait typically has a strong odor that partially dissolves in the water to attract big carp.
- Traditional Bait – Sweet corn has a long history in carp angling. But if this is how your carp journey started, it might be time for an upgrade.

Depending on where you’re angling, the fish in your local water body may respond differently to various attractors and baits.
