NASH Smoking Stick Mix

Product benefits

The NASH Smoking Stick Mix is an active carp stick mix specially formulated to create a highly attractive area around your bait. Its active formula starts to move as soon as it contacts water, gradually releasing particles, flavors and soluble attractants to form a distinctive "smoking" cloud that provokes the curiosity of even the wariest carp. Used as a stick or inside a soluble bag, this blend concentrates the full power of your carp groundbait around the hook, producing quick takes both on pinpoint swims and at long range. Whether fishing on lakes, gravel pits or rivers with moderate flow, this versatile bait adapts to many situations and boosts the effectiveness of your boilies, pellets or seeds.

Technical features

This stick mix for carp fishing is made from a balanced blend of meals, crushed particles and soluble attractants that disperse through different water layers. Its engineered particle size allows it to compact easily into a stick tube or soluble bag while breaking down quickly once submerged. The mix is compatible with most quality PVA systems, making it ideal for precision fishing where each cast must deposit a small, highly attractive mat of bait around the rig.

• Product type: active, cloud-forming carp stick mix
• Main use: filling sticks or soluble PVA bags around the hook
• Action: progressive release of fine particles and aromas creating a vertical attractive cloud
• Target species: freshwater carp in lakes, gravel pits or rivers with moderate current
• Compatibility: suitable for most PVA systems and modern carp rigs
• Seasonal use: versatile formulation usable for much of the year depending on water temperature

Thanks to this formulation, the NASH Smoking Stick Mix offers continuous diffusion of olfactory and visual signals, making it an excellent ally for all your carp bait strategies.

Advantages and key strengths

One major asset of this carp stick mix is its ability to work both horizontally along the bottom and as a column in the water. The generated cloud develops on the bottom and upwards, intercepting fish feeding at different heights, especially in deep water. This vertical attraction is ideal when carp are off the bottom but responsive to strong olfactory cues. The mix is also designed to be easy to prepare: in moments you achieve a slightly sticky but crumbly texture that compacts well without becoming overly wet. It therefore provides an effective solution to increase the responsiveness of evening sessions, quick fishing trips or longer baiting campaigns.

Versatile, the NASH Smoking Stick Mix can be paired with a wide range of boilies, wafters or pop-ups without unbalancing your rigs. It adds an attractive complement around the main bait and encourages prolonged searching behavior on the deposit area, increasing the chances that the carp will take the rig into its mouth.

Usage advice

To get the best from this carp groundbait, first pour the desired amount of mix into a bucket or basin, then gradually add a PVA-compatible soaking liquid (syrup or bait soak) or water from the fishing venue. Mix thoroughly by hand until you obtain a slightly sticky consistency that compacts well without forming an overly wet "paste". The ideal texture should allow easy filling of the stick tube or soluble bag while ensuring rapid disintegration once on the bottom.

Adjust the amount of liquid according to water temperature and casting distance: a slightly firmer mix is better for long casts, while a looser texture is perfect for short-range fishing. You can combine the NASH Smoking Stick Mix with your favorite boilies, pellets or seeds by adding them to the stick or soluble bag as a complement, offering carp a varied but concentrated feed on a small area. Simply keep proportions reasonable to avoid overloading the PVA and to maintain good particle diffusion.
