Carpano 1kg – Carp Groundbait and Paste

Van den Eynde Carpano 1kg

Van den Eynde Carpano is a high-protein carp bait without fishmeal that can be used as both binding groundbait and hook paste. The heavy, sticky composition can be kneaded into firm groundbait and bait balls and is designed for a targeted approach to carp fishing.

Carpano is gradually moistened and kneaded to the desired firmness. According to Van den Eynde, 1 kg yields approximately fifty groundbait balls with a diameter of around 4 cm. A well-kneaded bait ball does not break down quickly and can last for more than 24 hours.

Preparation and use

Add a small amount of water at a time, knead thoroughly and repeat until the mix is firm without becoming too hard or too soft. For long-term pre-baiting, the manufacturer recommends starting a few days in advance: feed generously at first, then gradually reduce the amount over the following days.

If you want to use Carpano as hook paste, knead a compact bait ball around the hook. A small piece of bread crust in the hook bend can provide extra grip during casting. Make the groundbait and bait balls larger when targeting big carp specifically.
