Particles Guide
<< back

One of the most popular is corn here in the USA.

If you are going to use particles as bait, it is essential that you prepare them correctly. Unprepared or incorrectly prepared particle baits can injure and kill fish.

Particles are cheap and effective, we strongly recommend you try them. Most nuts and seeds will need to be cooked before use, and it essential to get this right. If you are not sure, seek advice from forums or other carp anglers.
