Nifty Fifty falls to the B5 yet again!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 08th July 2013You really can't keep a good man down! Andy Waller has yet again been using the B5 to spectacular effect on his syndicate water with a number of multiple captures of very big carp.
Andy has just banked the big mirror again (pictured left) this time at 51lb 12oz and would you believe it, this is the 4th time the massive fish has fallen to the B5 during the past couple of years!! And as if that wasn't enough, Andy also banked commons of 39lb 8oz (another B5 repeat) and 27lb 8oz as well as a 38lb 2oz mirror during the same session!
B5....once bitten, forever smitten it would seem!
The use of Food Oils
Richard Kelly is certainly no stranger to big carp, but that's because he understands the importance of a well balanced nutritional food bait. It's paid dividends for him on numerous occasions, as proved again here with another UK forty.
We firmly believe that a well balanced nutritional food bait will completely out fish baits with little or no real food value, and the inclusion of a food oil will help to provide the essential fatty acids required for the carp’s dietary requirements. Further to this, the inclusion of a lipid source will also have a sparing effect on the proteins used within the bait, thus allowing the carp to assimilate the available proteins far more efficiently. In short, food oils will increase nutritional values and provide an extra source of attraction to the finished bait. In short, the fish love them, they increase nutritional values and to cap it all off, they make the bait easier to roll!
Top tip
If making your own baits, reduce the oil content by 50% during the colder months and add a nutritional emulsifier.
