Which Honey Pot flavour should I buy first?

Start with Sweetcorn or Scopex

If your local dam runs clear and the carp are feeding confidently, Sweetcorn or Scopex are your safest first picks. Both are consistent all-round performers in clear to lightly coloured water, and they work across most SA impoundments year-round.

Murky water after rain? Go Garlic or Durban Beachfront

When the dam browns up — after a Highveld storm or a long windy session — carp shift from sight to scent. Garlic punches through coloured water reliably. Durban Beachfront's pineapple-and-masala profile is tailor-made for dirty conditions and has proven itself in KZN and beyond.

Not sure which conditions you'll face?

That's exactly why the Honey Pot Chum Box Set exists. Five bottles. R249. That's cheaper than buying five singles at R55 each (R275 total) — and it gives you the flexibility to match the water on the day without committing to one flavour blind.

Buy the box first. Fish out of it. Then reorder the one or two bottles that keep catching.
