For the passionate angler, carp fishing is much more than simply fishing for big fish. Catching carp is not easy and rarely successful for the inexperienced without the right equipment, proper technique, and the necessary knowledge. Even experienced anglers are fascinated by carp fishing, as the carp not only belongs to the largest species in our inland waters but also ranks among the most interesting and challenging to catch—particularly when it comes to carp baits and boilies, which are not always easy to trick them with.
Carp have something majestic about them and are not easily seduced – because carp fishing requires deep knowledge of the species, excellent fishing skills, elaborate gear, great patience and, most importantly, the right bait such as boilies or tiger nuts. Fishing is not for the impatient, and carp fishing in particular demands a great deal of patience. But those who do everything right will ultimately be rewarded with an impressive catch.
Carp fishing requires extensive knowledge of the fish's behavior and often begins days before the actual fishing attempt with prebaiting. Without sophisticated angling techniques and proper equipment, it will be difficult to catch the desired carp. Carp are smart and won’t accept just any bait. Boilies are among the top choices when it comes to carp bait and have revolutionized the sport. First developed in England, these magic balls quickly gained popularity thanks to their success rates.
A boilie is a round protein bait that, with the correct size, is almost exclusively consumed by carp. The bait is based on a special dough mix and is much harder than other types of bait. Since carp almost always search for food on the bottom, boilie fishing is normally done right on the bottom—only with a few exceptions.

As previously mentioned, boilies are considered the top bait for carp fishing. These dough-based balls are especially hard and are used not only with hair rigs but also for prebaiting. For the mouths of smaller fish, such as whitefish, boilies are far too hard and large. Therefore, you can safely assume: the bigger the boilie, the bigger the carp that can ingest the bait.
The secret of boilies lies in their composition, hardness, and size. Additionally, their effectiveness is also due to the way they're rigged since the hook only enters the carp’s mouth after it sucks in the bait.
