the lead and hair rigged corn or ringers coldwater expanda pellet should catch you carp in the cooler months loction should be the key as carp shoal up tight with some swims empty and others solid with carp

try a pellet feeder with a nice bit of corn on the hook ,

all depends on peg your in the carp will shoal up and its a case of finding a feature to fish to and casting around it and watching for line bites, if you get liners you know theres fish/carp in your swim from the off, if not you could be snookered and looking to build a weight on silvers

im same as kev when it comes to feeder work for carp during winter, i go for a low oil pellet with a grain of corn or 2 hair rigged

The only thing I will add I always cook the corn to make it softer even Green Giant.

if thats the case then all you need to do is fill your peg in and you should have every hungry fish in your swim
