5 TOP TIPS FOR WINTER CARP
MARK BINES REVEALS FIVE TIPS FOR CATCHING MORE CARP IN COLD WATER…
1
GET ON THE ZIG BEASTS™
The reason we use Zig Beasts™ in the winter is so we
can fish the upper layers of the water, rather than just
fishing on the deck all the time. I’ll gradually move
up through the water as the day progresses, with the
assistance of the marker bands on the Zig Beasts™
spool. By the end of a bright day you’re normally up in
the top layers and in the winter you can be regularly
taking the fish about 4ft or 5ft under the water in
15ft or 20ft deep areas. The Zig Beasts™ come with
various colour toppers and the yellow is probably
most effective in the winter.

PRESENT SMALLER OFFERINGS
You’re better off just presenting a mouthful for the
carp and fishing for a bite at a time, rather than
introducting a whole load of feed, so choose the
smaller size Meltz™ PVA bags. Once you’ve filled it
and got it compact down nice and tight, tie it off with
the Meltz™ tape – then you can be confident that it
won’t explode on the top bit of the water when you
bang it out in the middle – instead it will go down to
the bottom and present itself really well with the hook
showing and you should be getting some takers this
way. For a bit more of an edge you can always add a
drop of the Ectoplasm® to the outside of the PVA bag,
for extra colour and aroma.
