Pack Bait for Carp Recipe - So Easy a 3 Year Old Can Make It! [Video]

Pack bait is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to catch carp—and you don’t need to be a master chef to make it. With just three simple grocery store ingredients, you can mix up a batch in minutes. In fact, it’s so simple a 3-year-old can do it. (Watch us make it in the video below!)

Ingredients:

• 1 Can Plain Panko
• 1 Can Creamed Corn
• 1/4 Box Strawberry Gelatin 

Mix everything together in a bowl or bag and you're ready to go!

You Might Be Wondering...

"How much pack bait should I make?"

One batch is usually enough for a quick fishing trip. If I'm planning a 1/2 day of active fishing, I'll make a double batch.

"How much does it cost?"

One batch cost just a few dollars. Go cheap--use the store brands. Carp don't care!

"When should I make it?"

You can make it the night before or the morning of your trip. Fresh bait tends to stick better and smell stronger.

"How do I store it, and how long can it store?"

Keep it in an airtight container or zip bag. Stored in the fridge, it will last up to a week, though fresh is always best. (It's food...it'll mold eventually :D )

"How do I use this packbait?"

Press it firmly around your feeder sinker until it holds together. Cast it out, and it will slowly break apart to draw in carp.  Match your popup to the color of the corn. Either floating yellow corn, or yellow popup boilies.

"How often should I change my bait when I'm carp fishing?"

Every 20–30 minutes is a good rule of thumb, unless you get a bite sooner.

"Can I change the recipe?"

Of course! Try adding other flavors, oats, peanut butter, or anything you think could interest carp.
