Tend to disagree there Aidey
Bait is everything
It might not tick everybody's boxes and a bit of variation is they key for me. The topic is endless, as are people's own personal theory's, which I like to hear. The A-Z of bait ingredients would be a good idea for starters for me
Probably right though, I bet for 80% of anglers bait is just round balls that comes in a plastic bag 🎱

Sweetcorn, peanuts and maggots all seem to go against many bait makers theories.

But some people do make their own bait, and some people do want to hear other peoples theories. I'm one of them, and the activity in the bait forum (good or bad) shows that their are plenty more. Lots of more holistic carp podcasts out there but for the geeks it's good to have a more niche platform for other geeks to discuss.

You have a good point there, the others do appear to be story based rather than bait/technically minded.

Agreed, I guess it is all about confidence. One man is confident in sticking out 5kg of boilies whereby others would be more confident sticking out 5kg of particle.
I'm more the latter. Controversial maybe, but I don't think there is a boilie on the market that can replicate the effectiveness of a 7 day old bucket of Maize & Hemp in the right spot
1) Location
2) Timing
3) Bait
4) Rigs
Off topic now, but I wonder often which out of the last two is more important. Depends on the top two I guess, but if I had the choice of listening to a bait or rig podcast, bait would win hands down.

I guess it's
1. Bait, without one there's nothing for a fish to eat
2. Rig with a hook, without one you won't catch a thing
3. Where you put said bait and rig is EVERYTHING for me, on tricky waters especially (spot fishing)
As for podcasts, like most things, variety is the spice of life for me

really good to hear sam's dulcet tones again.

Carp Chronicles is (for me) by a country mile the best carp fishing podcast out there, and some.
Sam's knowledge, attention to detail and delivery is superb.
His guests are pretty much top of the tree too.
His Christmas ramblings with his best friend Pete have me in absolute stitches how they both lay into eachother with banter and recollections of past trips and catches.
And their chats about their tipples I find just hilarious.

I wondered about this too - got spooked by the fall out from the whole hormone 'debate' maybe & didn't want to risk the potential costs associated with the litigation that was threatened?

Where can i find these podcasts? had a quick scan of the thread and wasn't able to ascertain where they were
