Total Carp Magazine

This month, we celebrate one of carp fishing’s greatest—and increasingly overlooked—approaches with a huge **20-page cover package: It’s Boilie Season! From why boilie fishing has changed so dramatically over the past decade to the tactics, rigs and baiting approaches that still catch more than almost anything else, this is your complete guide to getting the very best from the humble boilie.

Leading the way is Adam Penning, who explores how modern boilie fishing has evolved, before sharing his superb Bottom-Bait Chod Rig. We’re also joined by Terry Hearn, who answers all your questions on the Hinged Stiff Rig, while Shaun Harrison reveals a brilliant boilie edge and our comprehensive A–Z of Boilie Fishing rounds up all the essential kit and know-how.

Beyond the cover package, our cover star Mark Holmes shares the hard-earned knowledge gained through a lifetime of angling, Julian Cundiff reworks the Multi Rig with nine clever tweaks for better bottom-bait presentation, Lewis Read explains how to Make It Flip! for stronger hook-holds and more carp landed, and Rob Hughes reveals how to find every feature hiding beneath the surface.
