Interesting! I've been fishing two corn puffs on the hook with no flavoring for the past two years and had great success with them--one of my go-to confidence baits now.
Corn Pops are used a lot here in my area of North Carolina. Puffs are used a good bit also. I prefer Pops myself. I enjoyed the video. Very informative.
im waiting a little more for spring now and thanks for the tips they are exelent and i will try them i usualy just put corn on my hook with pack bait from ur channel around mine

Here in the south at most paylakes you can run 2 hooks. I like to use 1 of each types of pickups on each hook of the rig. Every time you go fishing the fish might not be acting the same. When I take a fish off I make note of which pickup is catching fish and adjust to it. Sometimes it works some times it dont make any difference. Just a suggest to the folks out there watching your channel. BTW....great vid.
@@carpandcatfishbaitstipstri7309 try a net without knots. That extra hook getting caught in the net has saved a lot of hands from having hooks in them from the fish flopping around. Not a bad thing to happen sometimes. I use both.
I think everyone uses about the same thing at one point and time .. puffs , kixs or pops cereal.. Did see some rubber ones that looked like yellow corn one time .. lol
By adding a split shot near the corn puff you can adjust it to be 1 inch or 5 inches from bottom . I like using them but they stopped selling them here in Niagara . I like baits that float as I can control the exact dept I want depending how clean the bottom is from algea or mud , ect . I have found that Cheerios float so I tie 2 pieces together with string and push my barbless hook through the knots in the string which hold it tight to the hook . The Cheerios softens quickly like the corn puffs which helps set the hook easily and very quick to remove without pliers. Cheers !
@@carpandcatfishbaitstipstri7309 I know what you are saying but some of these videos I have seen of people making pickups are insane. They leech stuff out for several minutes. Of course they are using dark colored flavorings so it shows up better but still it seems like the kix would be saturated.
I made a video thats not listed for someone having the same problem. You have to pair it with the correct hook weight. Click on the link and it will take you to the video th-cam.com/video/_xwpnHNDocA/w-d-xo.html
@@carpandcatfishbaitstipstri7309 i had a suspicion that was why, thank you for confirming it.. i make my kix plain a lot of times and just sorta toughen them up by getting them wet then letting them dry and have never really used flavoring so i was thinking either it was my hooks or the flavor weighed them down a bit p.s. guys since i didn't have any flavor to test out the weight thing i was thinking i used some chocolate syrup in my kix to see if it weighed them down any. while doing this i came to the realization if you want a chocolate pick up just get a box of cocoa puffs lol

Appreciate that you showed how the 2 baits present differently in the water. Counting the days until spring!
Me too.

Thanks for watching.
@Starks yes sir, I'm just north of Hickory a little ways
Interesting video Josh 👍. In England 🏴 we used sugar puffs . For surface baits, dog biscuits. Same prescription method.
great flavor trail on those pick ups.
I like to use one of both puff on one hook and kix on the other. Sense one floats and one stays on the bottom in the bait
ditto

Just starting to warm up here as well can't wait to get some fishing in

Nice! Never seen Kix as carp bait. Before 👍
I like to use pops cereal for pick up. Some times I think they like the sugar from them more.
That's a classic as well
I like using the Pops cereal brand. Sugar pops. Any flavor on em' microwaved for about 15 sec.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I used to use two hooks myself. I got tired of one always getting caught up in the net.
@@carpandcatfishbaitstipstri7309 with a close woven rubberized net I dont have that problem any more. Keep up the great vids.

Sometimes i put gritts on mine i use puffs more in wild water
Awesome will try it

Great video if you want to use puffs and keep them in your bait pile put a small rubber bead on the hook and that will do the trick!😁
What beads you using. I actually fish a bead with whatever pick up I use and even half a puff lifts it all the way up. I use the star beads
@@carpandcatfishbaitstipstri7309 rubber beads not plastic
@@charlesswiger2260 shoot me a pic of em on Facebook if you can
@@carpandcatfishbaitstipstri7309 I don't have face book
I would be interested in some o your pretied rigs...
After how many minutes do you think they'll come off the hook? how often do you rebait?
Interested in pre tied hooks
How long to put the pickups in microwave?
What does moving water do to this rig? I mainly fish rivers in my area. Just curious.
Nice videos bub. What state are you in?
Indiana
Kix easy win
Are them #6 hook?
#2
Do you ever use Corn Pops? Or Sugar pops? What do you prefer?
The best pick up is a 12 or 14mm wafter catch multiple fish on it and doesn't lose its flavor
For pond fishing for carp, the puffs would work better it seems, to keep the bait above the pond scum and in sight of carp on the surface.

So how are they making kixs that leech flavor out for several minutes?
I'm an using hawg sauce flavor pouring it into the baggie of kix and letting them soak the flavor in

my kix won't sink to the bottom like that.. what the heck am i doing wrong lol
