Best bait ever...

Posted in Catch Reports on 19th June 2011

Paul Radford started using the B5 last season and has recently declared "it's the best bait I've ever used!" After a successful season last year Paul wisely decided to continue using it this season and was recently remined of its incredible big fish pulling powers when he was rewarded with a 37lb 4oz personal best common followed by a 39lb mirror.

Paul finished by saying "I am well chuffed and my season has only just started. The B5 boilies and B5 pellets are just exellent together and really bring in the bigger fish"

Well done Paul from all at Essential - keep up the good work.




Boilie Glugs

The use of boilie Dips/Glugs to increase attraction levels can be extremely effective, particularly on short sessions or for using single hook baits when you want to boost the food signals.

For 'glugging up' your baits, just pour approx 20ml of your chosen liquid into a 1kg bag of boilies and shake well to ensure even distribution. This can be done before placing them into the freezer or after they’ve been taken out. If applying the liquid after the boilies have been taken out, it’s best to let them thaw out first before adding the liquid. It's also advisable to add the liquid to the boilies a few hours before you hit the bank, thus allowing a little time for the boilies to soak it up, although this isn't imperative.

For boosting your hook baits only, one useful ploy is to leave them permanently soaking within the solution and this will really ‘kick out’ the attraction. Bear in mind that pop-ups are likely to loose a little buoyancy if doing this for long periods. Alternatively you can just pour 10ml of the liquid solution into a jar of pop-ups and shake well. This will give them an extra boost without effecting buoyancy levels too much.
