Even a simple 'kitchen' bait like a homemade corn flour dough, with added coke or canned sweet corn juice with catch all day and probably always will on most 'low or no pressure' carp waters, around the world!
A high quality boiled bait approach is not necessary on every water; not every carp has ever seen a boilie bait before, and many carp may not even recognise them as food items immediately!
And many waters are so over stocked that there will never be enough natural food, nor anglers' bait to supply their needs fully, and any bait from maggots to sweet corn, to bread will always catch their fare share of big fish, regardless of any nutritional needs among the fish population.
Also, one important water jet reed to appreciate is that if a carp senses a bait, but does not need more of it to fulfil its dietary needs, its brain will not register a feeding response!
