The NASH Floating Sweetcorn artificial floating corn is a plastic bait specially developed to imitate a corn kernel while providing perfect buoyancy. It allows you to present your hook just above the bottom, particle feed or a bed of boilies, making it far more visible and easy for wary carp to suck in.
Unlike natural baits that soften, fade or get nibbled, this floating plastic bait retains its density and color for many hours. It remains attractive even in tough conditions, whether on short sessions or during long-duration fishing, and guarantees a stable presentation to maximize bite opportunities.
The NASH Floating Sweetcorn is designed to integrate with all modern carp fishing strategies: on a balanced rig, as a discreet pop‑up presentation or as a simple visual marker on a dense boilie. Its shape and volume are engineered to resemble real corn while providing the reliability of a reusable bait that withstands repeated casts and powerful fights.
Used alone, the fake fishing corn offers a very natural bite reminiscent of the feed kernels commonly scattered on carp spots. Paired with a dense boilie, it becomes a topper or “sight tip” that draws attention to your rig amid a carpet of baits.
When fishing with PVA soluble bags, this carp artificial bait maintains the same buoyancy before and after the bag dissolves. Even if surrounding boilies or pop‑ups harden or dry when in contact with pellets, the plastic corn keeps the same lift, ensuring a consistent, controlled presentation at the desired height.
The NASH Floating Sweetcorn is also an excellent choice when fish have already seen a lot of conventional baits. Its texture and lightness create an easy suction, improving takes from educated fish. Also, because it does not disintegrate, you can leave your rig in place longer without worrying that the bait has lost effectiveness or been entirely consumed by small fish.
Another major advantage: this floating plastic bait for carp is economical and durable. You can reuse it over many outings while reducing waste of natural corn, pop‑ups or damaged boilies. It fits perfectly into a responsible yet effective fishing approach, whether on heavily pressured waters or more remote venues.
To get the best from NASH Floating Sweetcorn, mount it on the hair rig, alone or above a hookbait boilie. Adjust hair length and hook size to achieve a balanced presentation where the hook weight just counteracts the corn’s buoyancy, creating a rig that is easy for carp to take.
On particle or corn‑based feed beds, place one or more grains of floating artificial corn at the heart of the carpet. The bait will stand out by its buoyancy and slightly different appearance, often triggering bites from wary fish that sort feed.
When using PVA soluble bags, insert the plastic corn directly into the bag filled with pellets or micro‑boilies, then seal and cast to the chosen spot. After the PVA dissolves, your floating carp bait will remain perfectly presented above the small bait pile, exactly where fish root around.
Don’t hesitate to try different pairings (dense boilie, wafter, lightly weighted zig rig) to adapt the presentation to water temperature, fishing pressure and carp behavior on your water. Also vary the number of grains—from ultra‑discreet presentations to a more pronounced visual signal.
Question 1: Can this floating corn be used alone or must it be combined with a boilie?
Answer: It can be used perfectly well alone as a floating hookbait over corn or particle‑baited areas, or combined with a boilie to create a very attractive balanced presentation—adapt depending on fish activity and the nature of the bottom.
