We use cans of corn. Put 3-4 kernels on a small hook and you are good to go. To make it a little more fun for the kids, fill a gallon ziplock bag halfway with oatmeal then pour in 1-2 cans of cream corn. mix together and let the oats absorb all the juice. Go to your fishing spot and take out small handfulls of this cum, roll it in to a ball and throw it out. My kids love doing this before we start fishing. Better than throwing rocks, LOL. We caught 17 last Monday. All on corn and chumming the area.

I have heard that you can buy store bought boils at bait shops and other places that carry fishing tackle. I personally have not seen any (Carp boils or baits) for sale. noidea

There are lots of companies that make commercial carp baits. Magic bait is available at Basspro in several flavors. WCB makes boilies that are available on Amazon and other outlets. I have caught many carp and buffalo on WCB boilies. Corn will work great, especially on smaller fish. Personally, I have converted almost exclusively to range cubes. Here is how I hook them.
