The age-old question of ‘what is the best carp bait?’ is just one of the many subjects discussed in this insightful, informative bait chat with one of the most successful big-carp anglers in history, Simon Crow.

We sit down with the former Carp-Talk editor to get his thoughts on bait and what he’s learned on the subject during a long and illustrious career that has seen him catch carp to 64lb from the UK, and 86lb 8oz on the Continent.

Crowy gives us his thoughts on whether there is such thing as a big-carp bait, and what bait he’d choose if he was trying to catch numbers of carp. He also tells us what his favourite-ever hookbait is!

Joined on the bank with DNA videographer, Vinny Pritchard, there is also some insight into what the lads would use when trying to avoid catfish, a problem many anglers when heading to France.

If you like bait, would like to know more about bait, or would just like a recommendation on what bait to use from the DNA range, this is a video not to be missed!
