Boilies are to carp what Texas-rigged worms are to bass—they're the core baits in the elite carp angler's arsenal.
The rabbit turd look-alikes are also the product of a messy, sometimes rancid-smelling disco you do in your kitchen when the wife's at her sisters'. In an ancient sort of alchemy, you simmer a bizarre cast of ingredients in a kettle, and then roll the resulting stinky stew into marble-size balls.
Well, Berkley just saved carpers some time (and possibly their marriage) with an all-new line of
Gulp! carp baits including boilies, pop-ups and dip bait. They come in unique scents like Tuna & Spice, Pineapple Fever, Squid & Liver and Irish Cream, and the Gulp! formula lets those flavors and odors spread quickly to pull in cruising carp.
Watch this!
For the moment, the stuff's just distributed in the United Kingdom, but you can get your hands on it by ordering online from retailers like
Fosters of Birmingham on that side of the pond.
