Which bait do you choose in spring?

Spring is a fantastic time to go after our finned friends! Temperatures are starting to rise and carp are becoming more active, making it the perfect time to head to the water's edge. But which bait from our range is best for spring? We'll explain below!

In spring, carp are looking for nutritious bait that helps them boost their energy levels. This makes choosing the right bait essential. Bait rich in protein and essential nutrients works best to attract the attention of carp preparing for the spawning season. In this blog post, you'll discover why the Scopex Specials, Scopex Crunch, and Boosted Pellets from the KWO Specials range are the ideal choices!

After winter, carp are looking for nutritious bait to replenish their energy reserves. They're more active and their metabolisms start to speed up, causing them to eat more. The right bait during this period can mean the difference between a good catch and a blank!

Boilies

Boilies are a popular choice, but which one should you choose from all the available options? For spring, boilies with a high protein content and added attractants like amino acids and flavor enhancers are ideal. These stimulate the carp's appetite. Flavors like Scopex and Krill are particularly effective. These flavors are often linked to a high nutritional value, making them even more appealing to hungry carp!

The color of the boilies can also be a factor. Bright colors like yellow, red, and orange can work well in murky spring waters by increasing their visibility, making them easier for carp to spot.

Particles

Particles like wheat, hemp, and tiger nuts are excellent for attracting carp searching for natural food. They are often rich in proteins, fats, and oils, essential nutrients that carp need. Hemp, in particular, is very rich in oils and fats, while tiger nuts are good sources of carbohydrates and proteins. This rich nutritional mix not only helps attract carp but also restore their energy levels.

Scopex Crunch is a popular choice among our team members. This bait has a unique taste and aroma that carp can't resist. Scopex Crunch combines sweet and creamy flavors with a crunch that piques carp's curiosity and encourages them to feed. The ingredients of Scopex Crunch have been carefully selected to offer maximum attractiveness. It contains proteins, birdfoods, and natural sweeteners that together create a high-calorie and attractive mix. This makes it particularly effective in spring!

Pellets

Boosted Pellets are perfect for use in spring due to their high oil content and slow solubility, which leaves an attractive scent trail in the water. These pellets are not only rich in nutrients but also help keep carp near your feeding area longer.

Extremely attractive!

Pellets work well in combination with other baits like boilies or particles to enhance the attractiveness of your feeding area. Boosted Pellets also vary in size and color, which can help visually attract carp. This is especially important in spring when the water can sometimes be cloudy.

Tips and tricks

Start feeding as soon as the water temperature starts to rise, this will help attract the carp to your swim.
Use Scopex (Crunch) boilies in combination with Boosted Pellets to create a dual attraction. This can be particularly effective because it appeals to multiple senses in carp.
Feed regularly but in moderation. Overfeeding can oversaturate the fish and reduce their interest in your bait.
It can take a while for the carp to find their new feeding spot and get used to the bait. Patience is essential, especially in early spring.

Hopefully you'll find these spring bait tips useful!
