yeah corn i've found to be the best bait i've tried various homemade baits with no luck, can of yellow corn or even frozen corn work well, i throw about 3 or 4 onto a size 4 snelled hook on either a "drop shot" style rig or carolina rig. toss it out only a few feet and let it soak. my son is the carp king he gets em everytime, even out at 33 hole. his biggest to date is just shy of 9 lbs on a medium action rhino rod on 6 lb test. mine is 6lbs on a medium rod with 6lb test. they fight well on light gear. they also make good catfish chunk bait. my usual carp set up is an 8 ft medium/heavy uglystick and 20lb berkley big game mono in green.
