Whole Maize (1kg-20kg) - Dry Particle Bait
Whole Maize – A Simple, Old-School Fishing Particle That Still Works
If you’ve ever wondered why so many anglers still use maize, there’s a good reason for it. It’s simple, cheap, and it catches fish. What more do you need? This classic fishing particle has been around forever, and it still does the job for carp, bream, and tench.
Getting it ready couldn’t be easier. Just soak the dry particle for a day and then boil it until it softens up. That’s literally it. Want to add a bit more flavour? Throw in some liquid or a sweetener while it’s soaking. Easy.
Tips for Maize Fishing
Soak and Cook It Properly
Ever tried putting uncooked maize straight on the hook? You’d be there all day waiting for a bite. Give it a proper soak and a boil until it’s soft enough for the fish to eat but firm enough to stay on. That’s when maize for fishing works best.
Great for Pre-Baiting
Want to get fish feeding confidently in your swim before you even turn up? Scatter some maize around a couple of days before your session. It lasts well in the water and smaller fish can’t strip it out instantly. Perfect for a little pre-baiting campaign.
Mix It with Other Particles
Why stick to just maize? Mix it with hemp, sweetcorn, or small pellets and you’ve got a much more interesting particle mix. Carp love rooting around in a mixed bed of bait, so why not give them something to keep them there?
Why Maize Works So Well
Ever noticed how bright maize is against the lakebed? That yellow stands out a mile off. Carp spot it easily, and the natural sweetness helps reel them in. And because maize is a tougher bait, it stays on the hook even when smaller fish are pecking at it. Handy, right?
It’s a dry particle, so you can store loads of it without it going off. When you need some, soak it, boil it, job done. Ideal if you like doing longer sessions or proper baiting campaigns.
And the best bit? It just works. Whether you’re new to fishing or you’ve been at it years, maize is one of those baits that keeps catching when other stuff doesn’t.
If you’re after a straightforward, reliable fishing particle that won’t let you down, whole maize is well worth having in your bucket.
