Big Fully Scaled

Posted in Catch Reports on 19th July 2008

Mike Edgeworth fom Glos has been catching some cracking fish from a local gravel pit in recent weeks, one of them being this awesome fully-scaled mirror at 38lb 8oz!
This was one of his sought after target fish for the season so as you can imagine, he’s on cloud nine! The ‘Big Fully’ fell to long range tactics where Mike presented 3kgs of 20mm Shellfish B5 boilies to the marginal slope of an island.

Mike has since returned to the venue and has continued his run of big fish action. This time he concentrated his efforts on to a completely different area of the lake and was rewarded with another very big mirror – this one went 43lb 8oz! Once again, Mike’s successful bait was 20mm Shellfish B5 frozen ready mades.


The wonders of Thaumatin

Thaumatin is undoubtedly one of the most attractive ingredients we have ever seen when it comes to producing a stimulatory response. It can be used in particles, boilies, boilie glugs, liquid foods, stick, spod and spomb mixes etc, etc. Even match anglers have used it in their maggots and groundbait formulations and romped past their nearest competitors, simply because the fish seem to go into a complete feeding frenzy when this stuff is added to food!

We Would NEVER advocate the use of particles without Thaumatin and we promise that you will see a massive difference compared to particles without it. With so many shelf life particles available on shop shelves, and doubts about the aded preservatives making them taste 'bitter', Thaumatin is the perfect answer. Just a few mils per jar can make the world of difference and significantly improve your catch rate.

Beware of immitations! Essential Baits are the ONLY company that market Thaumatin-B.
