Black Snail strikes on White Swan!
Posted in Catch Reports on 03rd April 2011Long time carp angler Jim Hepper seems to have been on the carp scene since man was created and many old school carp anglers will remember Jim from his early day pioneering exploits with angling legend Rod Hutchinson. Jim won't thank us for saying he's been around the block a few times but his experience and knowledge is second to none and we're glad Jim has chosen Essential Baits to help conquer his modern day quests.
On a recent visit to Dinton's White Swan venue Jim put the new Black Snail through its paces and immediately got off the mark with this stunning looking mirror of 32lb. A cracking start for the big fella and the first time the bait was ever introduced to the difficult venue!
Short term preserved boilies
Andy Clark successfully used our short term preserved boilies to tempt this awesome 67lb giant from Gigantica in France.
Many anglers love fresh/freezer boilies, whilst others prefer the convenience of shelf life boilies for those extended sessions or trips abroad. We therefore decided to develop a 'hybrid' between the two and our short term preserved boilies have been used with remarkable success across Europe. Their 30-day shelf life suits many anglers, and if you plan to have your bait delivered a few days before your trip, they will not only be fine for the duration of your stay, but any that are brought back can be put in the freezer and treated as freezer bait thereafter.
These boilies are also ideal for customers ordering bait from outside the UK, because the baits will withstand the shipping duration and can be placed in your freezer ready to use as required. Due to a 'drying out' period they are generally slightly harder than standard freezer boilies.
