Catch Reports
Another lake record!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 09th June 2011Marcus Howarth wanted to find out what all the hype was about and decided to put the new Black Snail through its paces. After some very good success on the B5 earlier this year Marcus was a little reluctant to change, but after catching a new lake record common of 37lb 14oz, followed by a 30lb 6oz mirror and a 28lb 10oz common in a single night, he soon realised just how effective the bait was!!!!!
Yet again, another big common falls victim to the Black Snail and judging by the amount of big commons this bait has been catching, it can't just be down to coincidence. Natural bait + natural attractors = natural feeders? Quite possible. Hold on to your hats, this bait is VERY special indeed!!!
Mike on Bag 'n' Stick Liquids
The main function of liquids is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig and increase the chances of fish being pulled into the area. Stick Mixes, Method Mixes and Ground bait can simply be mixed together with water, but by adding a liquid food as well, you will be increasing the food signals coming from the bait. On many occasions I’ve witnessed carp being pulled down from the upper layers on to the baited spot, and I have no doubt that this has been due to the liquids sending out attractive food messages through the water column.
Of course these liquids can be used for a number of other useful applications as well. For example, coating pellets with these liquids will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched out into the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from being soaked in a liquid for a few hours first.
I can honestly say that these Bag ‘n’ Stick Liquids have caught me a number of ‘bonus fish’ when I’ve been pretty much convinced that I would have struggled without using them. There will be a time and a place to use them, but ignore them at your peril!
