Designed for modern carp fishing, the NASH Citruz Fizzing Stick Mix is an active blend distinguished by its spectacular effervescent action. On contact with water the mix begins to fizz, progressively breaking the stick apart and releasing a dense cloud of particles and fruity aromas. This vertical and horizontal dispersion stimulates the fishโs senses and can trigger bites even when feeding activity is low.
Inspired by the well-known Citruz bait range, this carp stick mix combines fruit esters, free amino acids, nucleotides, vitamins and carefully selected minerals. The aim is to provide a complete food signal detectable at long range by smell and taste, and also noticeable through the vibrations created by the moving suspended particles.
Thanks to its ultra-fine, naturally moist texture, the Citruz Fizzing Stick Mix compacts easily by hand or with a stick tool without adding liquids. It therefore becomes an ideal ally for quickly creating an intense attraction zone around the hook in lakes, canals or moderate-flow rivers.
The main advantage of this effervescent stick mix for carp is its ability to make your rig instantly detectable. Rather than simply settling on the bottom, your bait becomes surrounded by a column of activity that attracts the curiosity of the wariest carp. This presentation is particularly useful on heavily fished waters where carp are suspicious of traditional baiting.
Its fruity aromatic profile, derived from highly soluble esters, remains effective even in cold water where many oily baits lose performance. Combined with soluble appetite stimulants, the NASH Citruz Fizzing Stick Mix sends a clear message: easy-to-find, easy-to-eat food without over-baiting the spot. It is therefore perfect for quick sessions, evening bites or situations where you want a take with minimal bait.
Another strong point is its ease of use. The mix is ready to use: simply pack it into a stick or a small PVA bag, attach it to the rig and cast. This simplicity saves time on the bank and ensures consistent action from one stick to the next, even for less experienced anglers.
Thanks to the combination of fine particles and soluble signals, this highly attractive carp bait can be used for short sessions or longer campaigns, integrating easily into your existing baiting strategy.
To get the best from the Citruz Fizzing Stick Mix, fill your stick or PVA bag by compacting the mix progressively to remove air and ensure good cohesion for casting. Avoid adding too much extra liquid so as not to weigh down the texture or slow the fizzing action, unless you deliberately want a slower breakdown.
Place the stick directly on the hook or on a suitable swivel so the rig sits at the heart of the attractive cloud once the stick dissolves. This presentation is especially effective over known fish routes, on marked features such as shelves, margins or hard spots.
The stick mix can also be used as small hand-pressed balls around the lead or hooklink when regulations or conditions prevent the use of PVA. In all cases, adapt the quantity used depending on fishing pressure, water temperature and carp appetite.
