Catch Reports
Matty on fire!
Posted in Catch Reports on 22nd September 2014We've had so many catch reports coming in over the past several weeks it's been difficult to keep up with them, but one Essential Bait user who has been on fire in recent months is Matty Gosling, who has been catching lots of good fish, including a number of thirties and a couple of forties up to 46lb!!
Matty swears on the Black Snail freezer boilies when it comes to catching the bigguns and few could argue against him when you consider how many big fish he's caught since switching to our Black Snail a few seasons ago. Matt is a very talented angler and this shows you how effective a combination of good angling coupled with a good food bait can be. Awesome hauling Matty - Black Snail all the way!!
Backlead use
Back leads can be very advantageous in certain circumstances, particularly on venues that receive lots of pressure from anglers and you need to pin your line down to the lake bed. On such venues, any fish that bump into your lines, can often mean the kiss of death. To avoid this, it's best to pin your lines down. Yes, this can be acheived by using slack lines, but the big disadvantage there is that you will also lose vital bite indication. By dropping on a back lead, you can pin your lines down, yet still keep them semi-tight to register bites. They also minimise the chances of you catching your other lines whilst playing fish back to the bank.
The problem with most back leads however is that in the event of hooking a fish, they don't slide down the line very well, but we can assure you there's no chance of that happening with these!
