There's plenty of scientific data, which suggests carp are able to detect and to some extent are stimulated by acetic acid solutions but whether it's any more attractive than products is up for debate.

Could try balsamic vinegar, acetic acid plus lots of associated complex flavours.

I got ridiculed when I wrote and article for Carpworld in whice I suggested various vinegars as acid investigation triggers. I used these pix in the piece.


You can use acids in your bait to boost attraction and aid digestion. Try a few grams of this stuff in with the base mix. No more than 5g per kilo...Alternatively use it in high attract hookbait mixes. 1g or 2g per egg should do the trick.
