B5 gets Black eye!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010We’ve recently had a lovely letter from Mark Foster commenting on the quality and effectiveness of our bait and thanking the Essential team for such a good service. It’s always nice to hear we are doing things right but at the end of the day, it’s you guys that are out there on the bank that deserve all the accolades, especially when you catch fish like this awesome 48lb 1oz mirror known as ‘Black Eye’.
Mark used our Shellfish B5 freezer boilies to tempt the beast out of its watery home. He also banked the two-tone linear at 35.11 and seems to have caught consistently on all the waters he’s fished this year. Mark puts it down to the bait, we put it down to good angling. What the hell, the both combined are a recipe for guaranteed success!
Bag 'n' Stick Mixes
Team Essential member Wayne Lindsey with one of two 40lb+ commons caught within a week by increasing attraction levels in his baited area.
Since the publication of numerous articles on PVA stick mix presentations, the use of dedicated mixes to facilitate for this style of fishing have become very popular indeed. The main principle behind this type of presentation is being able to place your hook bait smack bang in the middle of a concentrated parcel of food.
In many ways, it's the perfect way to achieve absolute pin point bait presentation around your baited rig, and there are times when it can be an absolutely deadly method. This type of presentation can often lead to an extra bite or two when perhaps single hook baits or stringers fail to achieve the desired results. The extra attraction of tiny particles breaking down around your hook bait will send out a cloud of food that will not only provide a bigger visual target for the fish to see, but will also send out effective food signals into the surrounding water.
