Catch Reports
Honesty is the best policy!
Posted in Catch Reports on 26th October 2012Unlike some bait companies we could mention (cough!) Essential Baits have never had any interest in 'claiming' captures of fish that have been caught on baits other than our own!! As proved here with Essential Bait user Martin Finan holding this prehistoric looking mirror known as 'The Brute', at a weight of 52lb 4oz, which tripped up over a bed of maggots!!
Martin has been targetting the Berkshire gravel pit for the past few years but now his campaign has finally ended, we can reveal (although this won't come as a surprise to many!) that nearly all of Martin's previous fish from the venue have fallen to our B5 or Black Snail freezer boilies, even to the extent of 'doubling up' and in some cases 'trebling up' on captures! Which have included this lovely 37lb linear (pictured below). Further proof (if needed!) that when it comes to high quality food baits, Essential Baits still rule the roost!
Well done Martin, congratulations on a top Snail, Maggot and B5 bombing campaign!
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.
