NASH Floating Maize Artificial Corn Kernels

Product benefits

The NASH Floating Maize is a highly buoyant plastic bait designed to deliver a perfectly controlled presentation when carp fishing and targeting other wary large fish. Its controlled buoyancy allows the bait to be lifted off the bottom, balanced or made to sit slightly above the baited area to attract roaming fish more quickly.

This floating plastic bait for carp stands out for its high durability. Unlike natural corn kernels, which can degrade or be quickly nibbled by small silverfish, the artificial maize keeps its shape and attraction for many hours. It stays firmly on the hair rig, making it a durable, reusable carp bait, particularly suited to long sessions, night fishing or tough conditions.

Visually, the floating artificial maize is easy to spot within a mix of particles or boilies. It creates a clear marker for carp searching the bottom, significantly increasing the chances of the hook being inhaled along with loose baits. This combination of visibility, buoyancy and robustness makes it an essential tool to optimise modern rigs.

Technical features

NASH Floating Maize is designed to integrate easily into most rigs used in carp fishing. Its imitation corn shape naturally suits seed- and particle-based approaches, but it also works perfectly in strategies centred on boilies or complete groundbaits.

• Buoyant plastic bait imitating a corn kernel for carp fishing.
• Stable buoyancy allowing balanced presentations, slightly lifted or fully pop-up depending on the chosen rig.
• Specifically designed for use on a hair rig, compatible with most hook sizes commonly used in carp fishing.
• Suitable for both bottom rigs and balanced presentations above a bed of particles, boilies or spod mix.
• Ideal for inclusion in soluble PVA bags or fished directly over heavily baited spots.
• Surface adapted to soaking with attractants, boosters, dips and liquid flavours to enhance olfactory appeal.
• Durable material enabling reuse across multiple sessions as long as the bait remains in good condition.

All these features make the floating artificial maize a reliable technical solution to diversify and improve your presentations while remaining simple to use.

Advantages and product highlights

The primary advantage of this floating artificial maize for carp lies in its ability to compensate for the weight of the hook. By adjusting the number of kernels on the hair rig, you can create a perfectly balanced rig that lifts at the slightest suck. This apparent lightness makes the bait much easier for carp to inhale and reduces last‑second refusals.

Another important benefit is durability. The floating plastic maize retains its buoyancy and shape over time, even when fished in areas rich in small silverfish. You no longer need to constantly replace your bait after every nibble, allowing you to fish effectively for longer periods, especially at night or during extended sessions.

This type of bait is also very versatile. It can be used alone, combined with real kernels to create a semi‑buoyant presentation, or paired with a boilie to form a highly attractive balanced setup. This versatility makes it an excellent choice to complement your particle mixes, spod mix groundbaits or PVA bag presentations.

Finally, the possibility to flavour it with liquid carp attractants provides a decisive advantage in difficult conditions. Soaking it in boosters, oils, dips or stimulants increases the olfactory signal around your rig, which can trigger extra takes when fish are picky.

Usage tips

To get the most from NASH Floating Maize, mount it on a hair rig like a standard boilie. One or several kernels can be used depending on the desired effect. A single kernel often creates a discreet, balanced presentation, while multiple kernels offer a larger, more visible profile — ideal on heavily fished spots.

When used with real kernels, the floating artificial maize can help balance the rig. Alternating natural corn and plastic maize on the hair produces a bait that sinks very slowly or settles delicately on the bottom, perfectly imitating the behaviour of loose baits on silt, debris or weed.

This floating maize for carp rigs is particularly effective when fished over a bed of particles or spod mix. You can also place it inside a soluble PVA bag filled with crushed baits, micro‑pellets or small seeds. When the PVA dissolves, the artificial maize remains close to the bait cloud, providing a highly visible marker within the particles.

To boost its attractiveness, soak the artificial maize kernels in a liquid attractant or booster of your choice before fishing. Prolonged soaking allows the plastic to retain a thin film of aroma that will slowly diffuse around the bait once submerged.

FAQ

Question 1: Can NASH Floating Maize be reused multiple times?

Answer: Yes, this floating plastic bait for carp is designed to be durable and reusable. As long as the kernel remains in good condition and retains its buoyancy, you can reuse it across multiple sessions. It is recommended to regularly check the bait’s condition and replace it if signs of wear or deterioration appear to maintain optimal presentation quality.
