What sort of Cat or Dog Food?

[Deleted]

I've know catfood and dogfood are great carp baits.
Last time I was out, a guy showed me how he was using a baiting needle just to pull his large hook (12 or so) through a soft mushy chunk then he just shipped it out carefully and within a couple of minutes away went the float and he was into a fish.
I was wondering what makes/brands people use though.
Do you just go for the beef or are other meats any good?
When I was in Morrisons the other day I checked out the shelves and most of it seemed to be in jelly.
I bought some pedigree chum in gravy which when I opened it had large quite solid chunks. Not the type I'd seen people using.
Gave it a try with no success and then liquidised it at home and used it in a method mix.
Anybody got some recommendations?
Thanks

Chosida catmeat from Lidle, I have not used it for over a year now as most venues i visit have banned it but any flavour will do. I have had good success on the fish one (i think it is salmon and something else) it used to be in a blue tin and the purple tin was also good (again not sure but I think it was lamb). Just make sure it's in gravy and not jelly

You can still get the odd tins of cushido, but its been renamed optima the same stuff well it looks and works the same.

cosheda yes very good ,
also when i use cat meat i use tesco home brand , stays on the hook very well and it works a treat
also you can buy sachets so no need to open a tin

I use the co-op make 'Supreme' beef or chicken in gravy. Had plenty of carp from Kiveton over the last week with chunks hair rigged. Stays on really well and will withstand a decent cast.
