Cracking winter common for Lee

Posted in Catch Reports on 16th November 2010

Essential Bait rolling manager Lee Willmott has had a season he won’t forget in a hurry with a rake of big fish, including a personal best UK mirror at 41lb 4oz followed by a personal best Belgium river mirror of 47lb 4oz and now he’s gone and done it again with the capture of a new personal best UK common at 35lb 12oz! Not bad when you consider he only fishes about three nights each month!

Lee extracted the big common from a large weedy Glos pit where he introduced a kilo of Winterized B5 boilies to a clearing amongst weed at approx 40-yards. Even more satisfying was the fact that his ‘old man’ blanked during the same session!!


The wonders of Thaumatin

Thaumatin is undoubtedly one of the most attractive ingredients we have ever seen when it comes to producing a stimulatory response. It can be used in particles, boilies, boilie glugs, liquid foods, stick, spod and spomb mixes etc, etc. Even match anglers have used it in their maggots and groundbait formulations and romped past their nearest competitors, simply because the fish seem to go into a complete feeding frenzy when this stuff is added to food!

We Would NEVER advocate the use of particles without Thaumatin and we promise that you will see a massive difference compared to particles without it. With so many shelf life particles available on shop shelves, and doubts about the aded preservatives making them taste 'bitter', Thaumatin is the perfect answer. Just a few mils per jar can make the world of difference and significantly improve your catch rate.

Beware of immitations! Essential Baits are the ONLY company that market Thaumatin-B.
