Bricking
Tuesday, 8th August 2017
Whisk the mixture to blend everything together.
Now add the base mix. Here I am using a version of Robin Red and Fishmeal.
Form into one big ball of paste.

Now divide the paste into four roughly equal-sized square bricks.

Simmer the bricks for 10-20 minutes. You’ll need to experiment as some base mixes cook quicker than others.

Remove and allow to cool.

Cut the bricks into cubes or squares of differing shapes and sizes. You’ll note that you get a lot of baits for six eggs. The baits nearest the centre will be soft, almost paste-like, while those towards the outside will be tougher and less dense.

Bait up using a caty or a spod. The bait carpet is likely to be quite different to anything the carp have seen before. It comprises many different textures, buoyancies, shapes and sizes.
