Fantastic year on the B5!
Posted in Catch Reports on 17th November 2011One customer who has been having a fantastic season since he switched to the awesome B5 is Paul Radford and he's been getting amongst the big fish again! Paul has been catching a very consistent amount of 30lb+ fish and recently sent us this nice letter:
"I have just landed another great fish, this two tone common of 33lb 4oz . The fish in my lake mainly consists of doubles and 20's with a few 30's and 2 40's. I can't believe i have had another thirty when other anglers haven't had any, especially considering i have only done 15 one day/night sessions and had 12 fish, with 7 being over thirty!!!! The bait just seems to pick out the bigger fish which i find amazing. I just wished i had used this bait years ago. Many thanks for providing me with a great bait" - PAUL RADFORD
You are welcome Paul. As you have found out, the B5 has a phenomenal track record for pulling the bigger fish and works straight from the off. Congratulations on a fantastic year. Mike and the team.
Wafters as hookbaits
Ian May with one of many 40lb+ commons he's landed on Essential Baits by making sure his hookbait placement is spot on.
The name 'Wafters' can be a little misleading because we don't want these baits too critically balanced. In our experience a hookbait that's too 'buoyant' can 'waft' all over the place as a carp approaches the bait and render it very ineffective and easy to eject. What we have done with these special hookbaits is to make them slightly more buoyant than a standard bottom bait straight out of the bag. This in turn will negate the weight of the hook and the hooklink and by the time the rig is presented, it will behave the same as the free offerings surrounding it. This is exactly what you need to achieve if you think about it because the carp will be feeding on the freebies and you want your hookbait to behave in exactly the same way.
Note
Our Wafters are 'tougher' than boilies straight out of the bag and are a popular choice for anglers that prefer their hookbaits a little harder than their freebies.
