never used it myself but if you didnt have any money to buy bait and you crushed up a few crabs and froze in finger bandage would be worth ago
i dont have anything to do with or profit from the link jeff
i guess if you make your own,it can be made to a better standard than stuff which is bought have heard of it turning to mush very quickly
True, I bought some from local tackle shop. (Bait box stuff)
Kept it frozen in a wide mouthed flask and looked fab. But when its defrosted it was like coloured water, It was very poor
cart is just raw female edible crab meat, just prepare as you would a cooked crab. i cut crab in half and remove flesh, should be red and brown slop. using a tube (i use a piece of 2inch waste pipe) push finger bandage onto the tube and fasten one end with a knot, funnel the cart into the bandage to desired size of bait. cut and fasten the end of the badage. you should be left with a sausage shaped bait i have them about the size of a good winter crab bait. freeze and simplty bind on to hok with elastic thread while frozen. its supposed to be banned from comps up here in the north east but its widely used, seaham club allow it, it was allowed in the recent sunderland two day comp, basically if its not in the rules its banned you can us it.
i use cart quite a bit mainly on the hard ground it is one of those baits that can fish very well like i was fishing off whitby with fresh peeler and fresh yellowtails and was getting outfished 3 to 1 with the lad using cart ,if your planning to make your own you want the female crab full of coral about sept to dec i pay about £20 per kilo which is in blocks a lad on whitby site sells it ,if im making my own i mix it with mussel then freeze it into blocks
aye aye,i tried that kart a couple of times of horden & easington beach's & caught nowt,but when i put peeler on i got results,but i have heard on the odd occasion that it does catch,(BUT ONLY THE ODD TIME),my preference,YA CANT BEAT PEELER,!!!
used it loads of times , on its day it will outfish anything , we use it in tights stays on the hook better , got to be edible female crab or you are waistng your time , give it a go itcertainly works for us
yeah i use cart regular. Ive found it attracts the fish but fish are actually taken on the second hook loaded with lug or rag. But certainly attracts as theres been times when im gettin nowt but as soon as the cart goes on things change. But theres been times ive had nowt with it too. So a good bait on its day same as anything else really mate
Nothing makes a fish bigger than ALMOST being caught
Avoid any bait from these guys,they mix flour and crab flavourings to make there bait,the say there's all kinds of sea animals blended together with a binding agent,what a load cods wallop,I made the mistake of buying some to tuck away in the freezer,I tried it one day using two rods same set up but different baits,I caught 9 fish on different single baits, on one rod and nothing,not even a knock on other rod using there sh@te,cart is different,I've heard quite a few good remarks about it,and I will be giving it a go in the near future ,dave
