Hinders Instant Nutz Sludge 1.75kg

When you’re fishing for carp, particularly in winter, zig fishing is a particularly effective way to go about it, as it presents attraction where carp typically are; midwater.

A zig-rig is essentially a pop up, with some foam or cork, which can be suspended off the bottom of the swim, virtually at eye level for carp.  Zigs are typically fished through a cloud of sloppy spod – an attractant that is designed simply to cloud the water, creating an interesting visual to draw the carp, rather than to actually present bait as such.  A handful of groundbait, offered at frequent intervals throughout your session, completes the effective zig-rig bait regime.

A stodgy bait mix that’s highly recommended for zig fishing is Hinders Instant Nutz Sludge, which features nuts, seeds, and creamy enhancers ground to a perfect fineness. Once particle juice or lake water is added, you have the ideal sloppy spod mix, which, once it hits the water, disperses as an instant cloud; combined with the sound of the hit, carp will become curious, even when winter temperatures have rendered them sluggish and disinclined to feed, and should head on over to investigate.

The mix has an incredibly fine texture, making it readily dispersible, and ensuring that you can quickly and easily cover most of your swim.

Beneath this cloud, you’re fishing your zig rigs midwater, and, beneath the zigs, you’re scattering groundbait, on the format of little and often.

Hinders have a firm reputation for producing quality carp particle baits and attractants, designed to target a variety of species in a range of water conditions. If you’re looking for a comprehensive bait regime from a single brand, Hinders should be your go-to choice.
