Here's what we use...

Frosted flakes mixed with water. Add the water slowly to make the needed consistancy. Very easy to do. I supose you could use this mixture and add some of the other stuff mentioned in this thread.

Also, have some nice sweet corn on the cob for dinner (Hard to find right now) and save the cobs...Cut them up and use them.

I assume you use a trebell hook??

And PLEASE tell me that you don't actually EAT the carp??? You practice catch, kill and release, RIGHT??

Ps...I am a BIG fan of spearing. We go out most every summer, weekend night. We spear some MONSTERS!!! (Carp, Gar, Dogfish, Suckers, etc...) Which brings up a question...I have been spearing carp for a long time and I have NEVER seen a small one...NEVER! All of them are at least 10 - 15 pounds...Many much bigger. Every time I THINK we've gotten a small one, it's turned-out to be a Sucker. Anyone know why this is??

Naw, release them. But I did post an article, LONG LONG time ago about the government doing a fish canning project somewhere down south - they said it was cheaper then Tuna and more plentiful, and the taste tests supposedly went well...
