Boilie. You can fish 8mm to 30mm. If you this makes it very versatile, suited for every situation. It is depending on the recipe you can make it super attractive or just the opposite.

For general fishing a worm. For carp a boilie. There's a reason boilies were invented.

Worms are right up there as one of the most effective carp baits but on a water holding lots of bream, tench and perch you'd likely never catch another carp imo.
Same with maggots, corn, bread, etc.
One bait for all carp waters. It has to be nuts or boilies surely?

Aye, boilies for me. Ive not yet fished a water where boilies won't catch a carp. Tigers come a very close second mind. But i aint no pro.

Boilies are just so easy - premade, shelflife, big, small, barrels, float, hardened, crumbed, coloured....etc

I ran out once and had to buy another brands bag off the shelf until my order come through, such is my confidence in b5 I had no confidence id catch on that trip. Quality stands the test of time doesn't it

When I first used them, I honestly had no faith in them 5 day of fermentation etc. First trip success, I sometimes wonder if a boilie will out preform the Nut?

I love tigers, corn etc but surely it has to be boilies....fish them under the tip or 100 yds out, donkey chokers will outwit the nuisance species, the list goes on.

Has to be Maggot, in general and not in silly amounts either.

Specifically for Carp DNA S7 I suppose but the Crayfish mini hookers are swaying my mind these last 2 years, but too expensive to use as a mass bait.
