B5 gets Black eye!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010We’ve recently had a lovely letter from Mark Foster commenting on the quality and effectiveness of our bait and thanking the Essential team for such a good service. It’s always nice to hear we are doing things right but at the end of the day, it’s you guys that are out there on the bank that deserve all the accolades, especially when you catch fish like this awesome 48lb 1oz mirror known as ‘Black Eye’.
Mark used our Shellfish B5 freezer boilies to tempt the beast out of its watery home. He also banked the two-tone linear at 35.11 and seems to have caught consistently on all the waters he’s fished this year. Mark puts it down to the bait, we put it down to good angling. What the hell, the both combined are a recipe for guaranteed success!
Making your own
The amount of anglers making their own boilies these days are becoming less and less. This is understandable considering time limitations, but for those wishing to venture out into making their own boilies, these Handy Packs definitely are the way forward because everything you need (apart from eggs!) is inside the bucket.
Making your own bait allows you to use your own 'bespoke' combination of attractors to suit your individual needs. You can also make different shapes and sizes, as well as having the option over soft, medium or hard baits, depending on boiling times, or if you wish to include additional hardeners. Further to this, many anglers find it extremely rewarding to catch fish on a bait they have made themselves.
