By Scott Ratcliffe;

During the colder months in particular, I find that when pasting up a 15mm hookbait with a similar high attract paste (Quest Fruity Trifle is my favourite in the winter) I achieve better results than when not doing so.

Paste can sometimes be an overlooked method but it really is worth considering. It gives high attraction in colder waters and the attention of little nuisance fish, who may nibble away at it, help draw in the carp in my opinion.

I don’t specifically choose my paste with regards to the weather, but I do tend to use ones that I am confident with and have, over previous years, had results with.
