Ingredients:
corn meal
corn syrup
water
vanilla extract
a little flour
I think I got this recipe out of a book a long time ago, but basically you take a sauce pan or pot and add a cup of cornmeal and an equal amount of water. I am using a cup as an example, make as much as you want. Add in a couple of good "dollops" of corn syrup and heat on medium high heat, turning constantly with a spoon from the bottom or it will burn. It will eventually cook together into a big glob. Cook a littly more until the gritty feel of the corn meal is gone. Let it cool.
Next, dust some flour on a table top and knead it out adding flour until you get a good dough and the stickiness is gone. Wrap it in alum. foil or stick it in a sealable coffee can and you have a bait that will stay on the hook for a couple of hours. I use about a no. 4 treble hook and form an egg size ball around the hook. I fish it on bottom with no other terminal tackle except for the hook. This stuff works great. Its not a matter of wether they will bite, but just when.
I also add the vanilla extract, either while cooking the dough or afterwords while kneading. I cant tell which way is better or if it matters at all, but the carp really tear this bait up.
