Catch Reports

Blondes have more fun!

This month's 'Top Catch' competition winner and Carp-Talk cover star is the lovely Lianne Bullard who decided to use the new Black Snail on her Cambs syndicate water to bank this magnificent 39lb linear!

It seems there's no stopping the Black Snail at the moment and although we are running backwards trying to keep up with the demand, we can assure all our customers that it will be well worth the wait!


Nutritional Base Mixes

Rob Fielding knows the importance of using a high quality food bait and as soon as he switched over to using Essential Baits, it completely transformed his fishing.

It almost goes without saying just how important I believe a good quality nutritional base mix is when it comes to catching carp on a consistent basis. You’ve only got to look at the success of the B5, year after year, to understand that a good quality food source will completely out-fish baits with lower nutritional values.

One of the most important things to remember is that carp have the ability to search out and recognise food signals prior to consumption. In other words, a good quality food source will spell the word FOOD as it releases ‘attractor signals’ into the surrounding water.

Baits constructed with little or no food value are unable to do this, and once any added attractors have been dispersed into the surrounding water, there will be no more food signals coming from the bait. In short, a good quality food bait will continue to send messages of food long after other baits have stopped working, and will continue to prove more successful, both short term and long term.
