Catch Reports
Mahooooosive Mirror!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010We recently had a call from Tim Smith saying he was going to Luke Moffatt’s lake ‘Graviers’ in France and wanted to take a bait that stood him a good chance of catching a big fish or two! For obvious reasons we recommended the B5 and delivered a batch of ESL (extended Shelf life) B5 boilies to him just days before his trip.
The next thing we know, the following week he’s on the phone (whilst still on the bank at Luke’s lake) enquiring what is the biggest carp ever caught on the B5!! It was obvious he’d banked something very special. Indeed he had, it was the ‘Brown Fish’ at a massive 82lbs! And if that wasn’t enough, he’d backed it up with fish of 48lb, 49lb and 52lb! That’s four carp for a total of 231lb – amazing stuff and top B5 bombing Tim. Congratulations from all at Team Essential HQ.
Mike on Bag 'n' Stick Liquids
The main function of liquids is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig and increase the chances of fish being pulled into the area. Stick Mixes, Method Mixes and Ground bait can simply be mixed together with water, but by adding a liquid food as well, you will be increasing the food signals coming from the bait. On many occasions I’ve witnessed carp being pulled down from the upper layers on to the baited spot, and I have no doubt that this has been due to the liquids sending out attractive food messages through the water column.
Of course these liquids can be used for a number of other useful applications as well. For example, coating pellets with these liquids will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched out into the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from being soaked in a liquid for a few hours first.
I can honestly say that these Bag ‘n’ Stick Liquids have caught me a number of ‘bonus fish’ when I’ve been pretty much convinced that I would have struggled without using them. There will be a time and a place to use them, but ignore them at your peril!
