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!
Advantages of Liquid Foods
Long time carper Dave Gawthorn proudly displays a stunning 40lb+ mirror. Dave often uses Essential's Liquid Foods to his advantage.
Liquid food additives are undoubtedly an important part of the carp angers bait armoury. Their main function is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig or your baited area. Stick Mixes or groundbaits 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, which in turn is far more likely to lead to a quicker rate of investigation and more frenzied fish activity.
Coating pellets with a Liquid Food will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched in the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from boosting the attraction properties with a Liquid Food. They can be particularly beneficial for short session use when you need to maximise attraction in the minimum amount of time. They are also beneficial for coldwater use when we need to send extra messages of food through the water column in an attempt to arouse those otherwise lethargic carp. Ignore them at your peril!
