Catch Reports

Another big common succumbs to the Black Snail!

Posted in Catch Reports on 05th June 2013

Team Essential member Martin Finan has been getting amongst the big fish again in recent weeks with a number of good catches, topped by this superb 42lb 10oz common from a Glos syndicate water.

All of Martin's fish have fallen to large beds of Black Snail boilies and as has been proven time and time again, the big carp find it very difficult to ignore this bait on rich, clear, weedy waters and just like the B5, it consistently seems to outfish everything it comes up against. Well done Martin, fantastic result.

 


Good quality food baits

I can't begin to stress the importance of using a high quality food bait when it comes to catching carp on a regular basis. A bait formulated with nutritional ingredients will be sending out food signals long after the liquid attractors have been dispersed, this due to the fact that the ingredients themselves will be breaking down and sending out messages of food into the surrounding water.

Cheaper baits that have little or no nutritional value might sound more attractive on the pocket, but they will cost you dearly when it comes to producing the goods. Once any liquid attractors have dispersed, the bait will not be sending out any food signals at all, but further to this, will have no nutritional benefit whatsoever.

Carp, like all other fish, soon learn to recognise a food source and will continue to eat it again and again if it provides them with a sense of nutritional satisfaction. They have the ability to detect a nutritional food source prior to consumption (food signals coming from the bait) and after ingestion. With this in mind, we have developed what we believe to be the highest quality range of nutritional food baits available, and the success of the B5 alone has certainly gone some way to proving this.
