That 'scent' if mixed correctly should draw more fish into range of your bait and thus allow for a great chance of a bite.


There are also Feeders (both open and closed) that can go into the same spot on feeder rods (don't know about bottom rods) and they allow you to use groundbait to 'seed' the area around your hooks bait with scent. The sinkers are used to weigh the line down and allow gravity to pull it to the bottom. The bells and sinkers can be used on either Feeder rods, or bottom fishing rods. This is just a suggestion, hope it helps. feeder fishing)), also take note of the lure weight (spinning & casting rods) or casting weight (feeder, bottom, carp and spod rods), if you get a message saying the setup is too heavy do not use as something might break (normally the rod). When setting up an outfit try to make sure it's balanced : Rod (strongest) (line weight) => Reel (max drag) => Line (test) => Leader (weakest) (test) if a leader is required i.e. If your line keeps breaking then your drag is set too high. Make sure you start with a low drag setting. Make sure you're fishing during peak times (check the weather forecast) for a better chance, I caught mine around lunchtime. Try fishing with the house behind you and casting as near to the middle (of the pond) as you can.

Set the float depth to maximum and use a #2 hook, try using baits like dough, bread or semolina (corn is good but not available until level 34). You will need to use a Telescopic or Match rod (float setup), a level 19 EspiraMLR3000 reel and (level 19) Nero rod should be sufficient for the task (any of the Fenix match rods probably even better).
