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 />
