Stoneacre stunners!
Posted in Catch Reports on 06th July 2013Essential Baits die hard Jamie Robb has been making the long trips south worthwhile as usual and his latest conquests came in the shape of a couple of Stoneacre stunners.
Jamie opted for the new black version of our famous B5 freezer boilies to tempt this lovely 38lb 10oz whacker (left). On another baited area Jamie decided to make use of our 'Thaumatin-B' particle booster to enhance his tiger nuts. The result? Another scaley Stoneacre stunner of 31lb 4oz.
Once again, Essential Baits gear producing the goods on a pressured low stocked venue.
Boilie Glugs
The use of boilie Dips/Glugs to increase attraction levels can be extremely effective, particularly on short sessions or for using single hook baits when you want to boost the food signals.
For 'glugging up' your baits, just pour approx 20ml of your chosen liquid into a 1kg bag of boilies and shake well to ensure even distribution. This can be done before placing them into the freezer or after they’ve been taken out. If applying the liquid after the boilies have been taken out, it’s best to let them thaw out first before adding the liquid. It's also advisable to add the liquid to the boilies a few hours before you hit the bank, thus allowing a little time for the boilies to soak it up, although this isn't imperative.
For boosting your hook baits only, one useful ploy is to leave them permanently soaking within the solution and this will really ‘kick out’ the attraction. Bear in mind that pop-ups are likely to loose a little buoyancy if doing this for long periods. Alternatively you can just pour 10ml of the liquid solution into a jar of pop-ups and shake well. This will give them an extra boost without effecting buoyancy levels too much.
