Catch Reports

It just gets better and better!

Posted in Catch Reports on 30th June 2010

That was the comment made to us by globetrotting expert and consistent catcher of big carp Merv Pennell after his recent trip to France, which yielded no fewer than three fifties! Merv’s son Rhys also got in the thick of the action with fish of 37.12, 40.08 and 47.04 whilst Merv’s big trio weighed in at 51, 54.12 and 57.04.

Merv and Rhys used a customised version of the B5 which included our Pineapple XL attractor package, which seems to be hauling an extraordinary amount of big fish to those who have used it. Top B5 bombing in every sense of the word!


Nutritional Base Mixes

Rob Fielding knows the importance of using a high quality food bait and as soon as he switched over to using Essential Baits, it completely transformed his fishing.

It almost goes without saying just how important I believe a good quality nutritional base mix is when it comes to catching carp on a consistent basis. You’ve only got to look at the success of the B5, year after year, to understand that a good quality food source will completely out-fish baits with lower nutritional values.

One of the most important things to remember is that carp have the ability to search out and recognise food signals prior to consumption. In other words, a good quality food source will spell the word FOOD as it releases ‘attractor signals’ into the surrounding water.

Baits constructed with little or no food value are unable to do this, and once any added attractors have been dispersed into the surrounding water, there will be no more food signals coming from the bait. In short, a good quality food bait will continue to send messages of food long after other baits have stopped working, and will continue to prove more successful, both short term and long term.
