Carp feeding triggers explained 🦖🎣

Ever wondered why carp suddenly switch on and start feeding hard? It’s rarely random – there are key triggers that get them grubbing with confidence 👀

Here are a few big ones we always keep in mind when prepping our particles:

🌡️ Water temperature – even a 1–2°C rise can spark feeding. Cold water = light, digestible baits.
💨 Oxygen – wind pushing into a bank or fresh rain often means carp on the munch.
🦐 Natural food – when naturals are present, baits that match size and profile work best.
👃 Leakage & attraction – salts, sugars and natural liquids help carp find and keep feeding on bait.
🍚 Digestibility – well-prepared particles like hemp, maize and nuts encourage prolonged feeding.
🛑 Confidence – quiet banks and subtle approaches keep carp feeding longer.
🐟 Competition – more carp together = faster, more aggressive feeding.

That’s exactly why quality, properly prepared particles are such a deadly tool – they tick multiple feeding triggers at once and keep carp rooting around for longer 💥

Whether it’s cold water, pressured venues or big summer hits, matching your bait to the conditions is everything.
