As a carp angler, you often have a lot of fishing gear with you and setting it all up usually takes quite a bit of time. Does this take too long for you as well? Then I have an effective and time-saving tip for you!
There are small grip seal bags available on the market, they are also used for storing jewelry. These bags have a seal strip at the top and are resealable.
What to Do
Attach your hook bait to the hair and then put it in a grip seal bag. Add the desired soak and then seal the bag as well as possible. (see photo) I do this myself the day before I go carp fishing. This way the soak can penetrate well and your hook bait is ready for use when you arrive at your swim. First set up your rod pod and lay out your landing net and unhooking mat. You can start fishing right away! You can also calmly set up the rest of your gear while you already have a chance of catching a beautiful carp!
It saves you about half an hour for three rods and the soak will have penetrated well.
Good luck!

I have been fishing all my life, but the carp bug started around when I was sixteen, in the western part of the country where I was born. I was less active in fishing for a few years, but the passion runs where it cannot be suppressed. Fishing truly brings me peace, being out in nature, and feeling the adrenaline rush when the bite alarm goes off. Besides carp fishing, I enjoy experimenting with everything related to carp fishing.
