Catch Reports
Best bait ever...
Posted in Catch Reports on 19th June 2011Paul 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.
Backlead use
Back leads can be very advantageous in certain circumstances, particularly on venues that receive lots of pressure from anglers and you need to pin your line down to the lake bed. On such venues, any fish that bump into your lines, can often mean the kiss of death. To avoid this, it's best to pin your lines down. Yes, this can be acheived by using slack lines, but the big disadvantage there is that you will also lose vital bite indication. By dropping on a back lead, you can pin your lines down, yet still keep them semi-tight to register bites. They also minimise the chances of you catching your other lines whilst playing fish back to the bank.
The problem with most back leads however is that in the event of hooking a fish, they don't slide down the line very well, but we can assure you there's no chance of that happening with these!
