Golder Strikes Gold!

Posted in Catch Reports on 18th August 2006

Rick Golder from Surrey started using the B5 last season and had the most successful season he’s ever had. In Rick’s own words:- “The B5 has completely transformed my fishing”! Rick has more than doubled his captures from any previous season and throughout 2006 he banked no less than x17 thirties and x3 forties – mind blowing!

A combination of B5 Boilies, Pellets and Pop-ups produced all the goods for Rick, who writes on a regular basis for Carp Addict. Look out for more success from Rick throughout 2007 because this guy really gets amongst ‘em!


Boilie Glugs

The use of boilie Dips/Glugs to increase attraction levels can be extremely effective, particularly on short sessions or for using single hook baits when you want to boost the food signals.

For 'glugging up' your baits, just pour approx 20ml of your chosen liquid into a 1kg bag of boilies and shake well to ensure even distribution. This can be done before placing them into the freezer or after they’ve been taken out. If applying the liquid after the boilies have been taken out, it’s best to let them thaw out first before adding the liquid. It's also advisable to add the liquid to the boilies a few hours before you hit the bank, thus allowing a little time for the boilies to soak it up, although this isn't imperative.

For boosting your hook baits only, one useful ploy is to leave them permanently soaking within the solution and this will really ‘kick out’ the attraction. Bear in mind that pop-ups are likely to loose a little buoyancy if doing this for long periods. Alternatively you can just pour 10ml of the liquid solution into a jar of pop-ups and shake well. This will give them an extra boost without effecting buoyancy levels too much.
