How To Attach Your Hookbait Using Bait Floss – Carp Fishing Quickbite

In this AD Quickbite guide for carp fishing, we show you 2 different ways to use bait floss to attach your hookbaits!

 

What is Bait Floss?

For those anglers that are yet to discover the magic of bait floss, it is used by anglers to eliminate the need to pierce baits such as boilie or pellets that you wish to add as a hookbait. Using a baiting needle can lead to the baits such as pop-up boilies losing their buoyancy or crumbling baits such as cork ballers or ultra-hard air-dried baits, however, if you use bait floss, it boasts a flat profile and a waxed finish that helps grip to your choice of hookbait with ease. 

 

Where to Buy Bait Floss?

Of course, you can purchase some bait floss from Angling Direct online or at one of your local Angling Direct fishing tackle shops!
