Try a few kernels of corn on a small treble hook, wait and hang on.
TRY BREAD DOUGH WITH A SMALL DROP OF SESAME OIL ... OR TOASTED SESAME SEEDS
A treble with a dough ball. They love bread.
Big Red and corn flakes. An arrow when your done fooling around :)
Is that a bucktail variation?

I was fishing at my usual spot and there were GIGANTIC carp writing right at my feet but no matter what I dropped they wouldn’t bite! How do I get one, is there any lure they fancy?

Usually, carp crave pillsbury roll dough mixed with cheese whiz.
Carp go after oatmeal balls.
Worked better for me than all the secret recipes I ever tried. Hard to find in bait/tackle shops these days.
Keeps forever without spoiling.
I carp fish to check my drag settings/operation, then release them. Lots of fun for kids, hook up and then hand the kid the rod. If they tire ( kids ) take over, no sense in discouraging them from continuing to fish.
Carp are primarily herbivores, one of the greatest things I ever used to catch carp on were mulberries. It seems that carp love mulberries, at least lake Erie carp love them. If a carp takes a worm it is usually just foraging and tasting to see what it is
Why does this keep showing every hour?
Cause folks like to catch fish and big hard fighting fish 🤪
