Catch Reports

Catch 22 common!

Posted in Catch Reports on 08th July 2013

Andrew Leah has recently sent us a report to say how well he's been doing since he started to use our B5 freezer boilies on his Catch 22 syndicate. In fact, he's beaten his previous pb twice already, topped by this magnificent 44lb 8oz common!!

Once again, B5 doing what it does best. Well done Andrew.



Fluoro pop-ups

Whilst carp are not generally recognised as sight feeders, there are undoubtedly times when they are visually drawn to a food source and bright pop-ups are a classic example of this. It's not surprising therefore, that fluoro pop-ups have proved very effective, particularly if just using a single bait with no free offerings. The winter and spring months are a classic example of this and a single fluoro pop-up cast to a 'showing' fish has resulted in the downfall of many a carp.

But it would be a mistake to think fluoro pop-ups should be just restricted to single bait presentation. Quite often, a fluoro pop-up fished over a bed of bait can fool the wariest of carp and a little 10mm fluoro pop-up mounted above a standard bottom bait can act as a very good visual sight and lead to a bite or two when other methods fail to produce.
