It goes on easy & stays on great, has almost neutral buoyancy , has a bright colour – but we had no hits on both our rods in 2 hours (i.e. 4 hour test) …………. there were active carp in our test location.

This is not it!

I do note that I did taste this version. To me - It was still very firm, next to tasteless and had little, if any, odour........... Sorta like my first wife's cooking..........

I will try another preparation method much later this summer or in the fall……… and report then……………..

Did you also chum with it? I guess that's the benefit of it being so cheap, it's good for chumming. For bait to put on your hook I guess sweet corn (sugar added) would work better. I've never hooked a carp with corn yet though. Just worms, and my home-made jello boilies.

Hammercarp mentioned dumping pails of soaked corn on a regular basis a few days before their fish-ins in order to establish a carp presence.
