STEVE RINGER’S ULTIMATE FEEDER GUIDE<br />

COLOUR RULES<br />

ON THE BOMB!<br />

In clear water, pick a hookbait that the carp can’t fail to spot<br />

THE nature of fishing the bomb, or<br />

straight lead as some call it, means<br />

that a single hookbait can be fished<br />

without any additional feed, relying<br />

on the curiosity of a carp to seek it<br />

out and wolf it down.<br />

While the bomb can work in summer,<br />

I think it really comes into its own in winter<br />

when the fish don’t want any feed, instead<br />

picking off a stand-alone hookbait when the<br />

mood takes them.<br />

For that reason, you have to offer the fish<br />

something that’s highly visual to grab their<br />

attention in clearish water. It can be a fluoro<br />

pink, yellow or orange boilie or Wafter, a couple<br />

of pieces of yellow corn or five discs of white<br />

bread punched out and fished as a stack.<br />

Regularly changing the bait colour is<br />

important. Something as minor as changing<br />

from a yellow mini boilie to a pink Wafter can<br />

trigger the feeding switch in those carp.<br />

Pick a bright yellow or pink colour<br />

if you plan on going down the<br />

boilie route on the bomb. An 8mm<br />

or 10mm bait is perfect.<br />
