Homemade Carp Bait - Doughball / Doughbait Recipe that catches catfish and carp

DIY bait that works for carp and catfish - Cornmeal, Flour, Strawberry Jello,, Garlic Powder, Vanilla, Sugar, Can of Corn and Water all mixed up makes for Some Carp Fishing Fun!!!

There must be a thousand recipes for dough ball. I never caught any monster carp, but I caught a fair number in the thirty-five to forty pound range. I caught one of the largest with dough ball that was nothing but cornmeal, flour, and a lot of garlic powder. I tried mixing Wheaties rather than the garlic, and caught several large carp in a couple of days. I tried corn, though in bigger pieces than you use, and it worked well, too.

Anyway, I finally found four three recipes that work best for carp, one with liquid molasses for carp, and one, with Jell-O, that works best for catfish. Which to use for carp depends on water conditions. Seems like we each have a favorite, and many keep that favorite secret, and they all seem to work pretty well.

I was fishing with some friends and a guy came up to us and said the little pond we were fishing on has monster carp and he said he’s caught some using this exact recipe and he gave me the video so I’m going to try this tomorrow when I go fishing again

Thanks for sharing man, awsome bait. Would you ever take bits of it use it as chum???

Instead of using parchment paper use cheese cloth it works better plus if it gets to dry you can dip the dough ball in hot or cold water to soften it up .
