Found this...

Activated charcoal is a fine, odorless, black powder often used in emergency rooms to treat overdoses. Some other potential benefits include reducing flatulence, promoting kidney health, and lowering cholesterol levels.


I'll have 3 ton please....

Guessing it's in the bait as colourant

Chances are, there's no reason other than to make anglers think they're doing something special!

Damn it ! For decades, every time I've had a barbeque I've thrown away any left over charcoal. If only I'd known that this was the Holy Grail of carp bait then I could have been a contender 😂.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
