[ Free Tool ]
Estimate loose feed, hook baits, money rod pickups, and recast windows for carp pond tournaments, across three tournament phases without overfeeding the swim.
Overfeeding is one of the most common reasons anglers lose on a good peg. This tool gives you a phase-by-phase bait plan based on your tournament length, rod count, conditions, and session goal.

[ Rod Strategy ]
Money Rod
Cleanest lane. Controlled feed. Best pickup.
Search Rod
Tests activity. Slightly more signal allowed.
Trigger Rod
Sharper scent or contrast near a feature.
Insurance Rod
Backup theory. Simple, clean, lower disturbance.
[ How It Works ]
Phase 1 — Find
Start light. You are testing the water, not committing. A small attractor signal tells you where the fish are without wasting your bait budget or setting off a small-fish frenzy.
Phase 2 — Filter
Once you have activity, increase feed if bigger fish are responding. If small fish dominate, hold back and move toward selectors. This is where most anglers lose discipline.
Phase 3 — Kill Zone
Late session is a precision phase. Minimal feed. Clean presentation. Your best hook bait on the money lane with as little disturbance as possible.
