Darren's delight
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th August 2011Long time Essential Bait user Darren Greaves from Glos has had a break from carp fshing in recent years, but like most of us have experienced at one time or another, the urge to get back out on the bank eventually catches up with you!
Darren decided to try out the Black Snail on Christchurch at Linch Hill and soon found out just how effective the bait is when on his very first night he was rewarded with this magnificent 36lb 14oz mirror. Not a bad return!! Darren has since contacted us to say that he's been back and nailed another thirty! Just goes to show how a good quality bait can give you a massive edge on some of these pressured venues. Well done mate and keep up the good work...
Powdered Additives and Extracts
Long time Essential Baits consultant Rick Golder with a stunning '48' from a mega difficult venue. Rick knows the importance of a good food bait combined with the correct ingredients to trigger a feeding response. His results prove this year after year.
The inclusion of powdered additives and extracts within a boilie recipe will undoubtedly make a massive difference in terms of attraction and palatability. Used at the correct inclusion levels, they will trigger a feeding response and lead to prolonged feeding. They can also be hugely beneficial at repelling nasty sediment odours from 'tainting' the bait. The FF6 found within the B5 is a classic example of this and will always make sure your baits smell 'sweet', even when fishing amongst horrible black silt.
Many of these products are used extensively within the aquaculture industry to promote feeding, so it goes to show that these ingredients will play a huge part within the inclusion of a successful bait recipe, both short and long term.
Top tip
Betaine is an excellent ingredient for triggering the carp's receptors. If you want an 'instant' feeding response for short session fishing, just pour 20ml Boilie Glug or Liquid Food over 1 kilo of boilies and sprinkle one level tsp of betaine over the top before shaking vigourously.
