Catch Reports
It just gets better and better!
Posted in Catch Reports on 30th June 2010That was the comment made to us by globetrotting expert and consistent catcher of big carp Merv Pennell after his recent trip to France, which yielded no fewer than three fifties! Merv’s son Rhys also got in the thick of the action with fish of 37.12, 40.08 and 47.04 whilst Merv’s big trio weighed in at 51, 54.12 and 57.04.
Merv and Rhys used a customised version of the B5 which included our Pineapple XL attractor package, which seems to be hauling an extraordinary amount of big fish to those who have used it. Top B5 bombing in every sense of the word!
Balanced Dumbells
There are definitely times when standard round hook baits can lose their effectiveness and a switch to a different shape can often produce the goods. These pellet shaped hook baits offer a viable alternative to standard round hook baits and when mounted on a slightly longer hair and fished over a bed of pellets, they can often make the difference between success and failure!
Their shape not only makes them very difficult for the fish to eject, but coupled with their added buoyancy due to the inclusion of cork dust, they are also superb for fishing over the top of silt or weed. They are also very durable and will last for many hours without being nibbled away by nuisance fish, Crayfish or diving birds. Definitely worth considering when the going gets tough!
Top tip
Try mounting the dumbell on the hair long-ways. This will enter the carp's mouth easier, but will spin around on ejection thus making it more difficult for the carp to eject the hook.
