Guess which rod had action?A question to Shaun;

I am doing some winter fishing this year and wonder what bait you would recommend and what size. I like the look of the Fruity Trifle.

Hi Tom,

Fruity Trifle is one of my favourite winter baits. The base mix I started using right back in the 80’s and have caught literally hundreds of carp on it. It is very easily digestible so the carp will feed again quite quickly – very important in the winter as many baits stay inside them for too long.

Size wise I always try and mix the sizes in my own fishing and if the distance being fished allows I always crumble baits up for loose feed as well as offering whole ones.

Ideally I would introduce a small amount of 10mm’s, 15mm’s and 20mm’s whole and broken… but if I were limiting myself to just one size of bait I would take the larger 20mm’s simply because there is plenty of scope for breaking them into smaller pieces and trimming them down etc.

Hope this helps
Best fishes, Shaun Harrison
