Welcome to PKY Premier Carp Bait
Proven boilies, wafters, pop-ups and hookbaits tested on the bank for over 30 years
PKY Premier Carp Bait was born from the same obsession that drives every dedicated carp angler — the desire to catch more fish, catch bigger fish, and have complete confidence in the bait going into the water.
Back in the early 1990s, after countless hours spent on the bank, I became frustrated with the inconsistency of many carp baits available at the time. Rather than accept it, I began developing and refining my own recipes, testing them session after session until I found combinations that consistently produced results.
What started as a personal pursuit quickly attracted the attention of friends and fellow anglers who could see the results for themselves. As demand grew, so did my commitment to producing high-quality carp bait that anglers could rely on throughout the seasons.
More than 30 years later, that philosophy remains unchanged.
Every boilie, hookbait and attractor in the PKY range is developed with one goal in mind: giving anglers the confidence to fish effectively from the moment their rig hits the lake bed. Whether you’re planning a long-term baiting campaign, targeting pressured carp on a syndicate water, or making the most of a short day-ticket session, the bait needs to work when opportunities arise.
Unlike mass-produced bait, every product is made with care using quality ingredients and fresh farm eggs, then thoroughly bank-tested before it ever reaches the website. If I haven’t caught on it myself and proven its effectiveness, it won’t carry the PKY name.
Today, PKY Premier Carp Bait continues to supply freshly made carp bait to anglers across Essex and the UK, combining decades of bait-making experience with a simple promise: fresh, proven carp bait made by an angler, for anglers.
Because confidence catches carp.

Proud to Support the Angling Community
At PKY Premier Carp Bait, supporting the next generation of anglers and the wider fishing community means a lot to me. I’m proud to sponsor and support the Colchester Fishing Group on Facebook, where I also serve as an admin — helping to build a friendly, active space for anglers to share their passion, knowledge, and catches.
I also proudly sponsor a junior carp angler, young Jamie, helping to encourage young talent and keep the spirit of carp fishing alive for years to come. It’s my way of giving something back to the sport that’s given me so much.

What our valued customers say
Consistent Catches
Dave’s passion for carp baits is second to none. I’ve witnessed first-hand the effectiveness of his hook baits and boilies. I would definitely have missed out on some incredible captures if I hadn’t been using Dave’s custom-made Scopex Squid.
Stuart Petrie – Local Angler
Quality & Reliability
Since switching to PKY Pineapple, my catch rate has improved dramatically. The bait is always fresh, smells fantastic, and Dave is always there when I need an order.
What really sets PKY apart is their commitment to fish welfare — the fish always come first. It’s a quality bait from a company with the right values, and I’ll continue to use it with confidence.

Bespoke Brilliance
I was already a big fan of Scopex Squid & Kriller, so when I asked Dave if he could create a unique blend for an up-coming catfishing trip, he obliged, creating a 24mm Cat Kriller. This resulted in multiple captures over the session and a new 80lb PB.
Dave’s willingness to listen and react to his customers needs, really does add value to PKY
