Kingsmead 'Whacker' for Dave

Posted in Catch Reports on 05th July 2012

Long time Essential Bait user David Acreman from Taunton has used our Shellfish B5 frozen boilies for many years and judging by the amount of big fish he's caught, you can see why so many anglers consider it to be the most consistent big fish bait ever developed.

Dave's latest target water is the Cemex Kingsmead venue and his limited time availabilty coupled with long distance travelling mean't that he needed to use a bait that he could rely on 100% to optimise his chances from the very off. The B5 is tailor made for this scenario and to further prove this, here is Dave with a couple of recent 'whackers' at 38lb 8oz (below) and a fish known as 'Starry's' at 42lb 1oz (main image) Well done Dave - very well deserved.




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.
