Fishing bait tools

Precise Baiting

Baiting attracts fish to the spot, but it needs to be placed in the right spot and always the same one. A bait spread over a large area scatters the fish instead of concentrating them. Baiting tools allow you to project bait, seeds, pellets, or boilies precisely, at the desired distance, far beyond what a hand cast can achieve. You aim for a fixed marker on the opposite bank to repeat the action.

Other Baits

Baits come in different varieties:

• Baits.
• Boilies.
• Pellets.
• Seeds.
• Liquids.
• Additive / Booster.
• Artificial bait.

All baits are gathered on the baits page.

Catapults and Boilie Launchers

The catapult, like the Preston Dura Slip with medium or strong elastic, or the Korum, launches bait balls and small baits several dozen metres; the Zebco Maggotpult is designed for maggots. The boilie launcher, a tube spun with a flick of the arm, sends boilies one by one up to a hundred metres, the carp anglers' favourite technique for baiting at a distance.

Marker and PVA

Before baiting far, the carp angler locates the bottom with a marker float, like the one from Fox: cast with a dedicated rod, it rises to the surface and marks the fishing zone; the fins Korda stabilise it in flight. Bait is then placed around this marker. The PVA bags and nets from Nash, Fox, and Korda, which are soluble, deposit a small pile of bait directly around the rig. Change the catapult's elastics as soon as they start to crack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which catapult to choose for baiting at distance?

A wide cup catapult launches seeds, pellets, or bait balls at medium distance, while a smaller, rigid cup sends maggots with precision. Choose an elastic suited to the aimed distance.

What is a boilie launcher for?

This tube, also called a cobra, projects boilies one by one, very far and accurately, with just a simple arm movement. It allows carp anglers to bait at long distances without scattering the baits.

How to use a marker float?

Cast with a dedicated rod, it rises to the surface above the chosen spot and indicates its position and depth. Bait is then placed around it, and the rig is cast to fish exactly in the same spot.

What baits to put in a PVA bag?

PVA dissolves in water: it only accepts dry or oily baits, like pellets, crushed boilies, or flour. A wet bait would melt it before the cast.

Why always bait in the same spot?

A dispersed bait scatters the fish instead of concentrating them. By placing the bait always at the same point, a feeding zone is created where the fish return, and where you present your hook at the right time.
