It’s been no big secret that Essential Baits have been formulating one or two new baits over the past couple of years with a view to releasing them in 2009 or 2010. On a recent ‘overnighter’ Essential bait boss Mike Willmott decided to put one of the cold water versions to the test, and within the space of an hour managed to bank a lovely deep bodied mirror of 33lb 1oz shortly followed by a very elusive common known as ‘Tyson’ at a weight of 27lb 1oz.
Amazingly, the common had only ever seen the bank once before and this was over two and a half years ago! Commenting on the development of the new bait Mike added “I’m very happy with the way things are going at the moment and we have some very exciting new products coming out over the next 18-months or so. It’s too early to give too much away at this stage, but if results over the past year are anything to go by I’m very confident that a new blockbuster bait to rival the impressive B5 may not be too far away” Watch this space!
