Sometimes as carp anglers, we think too hard and need to take a step back to the basics of carp fishing. Particles are an inexpensive carp bait and very effective, especially during the winter period. When the carp isn’t eating much and isn’t feeding a lot, you need to offer the “bait” more compactly. This can be done using PVA, among other methods, but it can also be simpler, namely with the Particalipo.
New? No, a forgotten trick from the old days.
Requirements:
- Particles
- Rig
- Disposable cup (no, we don’t throw it away)
To start, we’ll first soak the particles for a minimum of 24 hours. When the soaking is done, we’ll cook them (note: if there are peanuts in the particles, you must cook and rinse them at least 3 times, so cook, rinse, etc.)

When the particles are ready, we take the plastic cup. We put a layer of particles in the bottom. Then take your rig and place it on top.
Place your rig with boilie in the cup and fill the cup further.
When the cup is filled, it can go into the freezer. Wait a bit, wait a bit more, wait just a little longer… PARTICALIPO
Then take the cup out of the freezer and hold it in your hands… squeeze!!!!! and pop, a Particalipo is ready for use.
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.
