How to use meatballs
Normally associated with catching barbel from rivers, huge meatballs are a brilliant bait for commercial carp too, as match ace Matt Pillay has found.
When tackling commercial waters where large 'target' baits work, a single hair-rigged meatball can be a devastatingly effective bait to use.
The soft and strongly-scented meat is loved by carp of all sizes, including those monsters that rarely get caught and often don't show themselves for months on end.
But it's not just meatballs that Matt has been using to great effect - he's also found that garlic-flavoured sausage is a killer bait too.
There are a few pointers that you need to follow in order to get the most from both of these baits, as Matt details in this new and exclusive video.
