Catch Reports

Darren's delight

Posted in Catch Reports on 13th August 2011

Long 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...


Making your own

The amount of anglers making their own boilies these days are becoming less and less. This is understandable considering time limitations, but for those wishing to venture out into making their own boilies, these Handy Packs definitely are the way forward because everything you need (apart from eggs!) is inside the bucket.

Making your own bait allows you to use your own 'bespoke' combination of attractors to suit your individual needs. You can also make different shapes and sizes, as well as having the option over soft, medium or hard baits, depending on boiling times, or if you wish to include additional hardeners. Further to this, many anglers find it extremely rewarding to catch fish on a bait they have made themselves.
