Amazing Start for Jon
Posted in Catch Reports on 27th July 2007One of the country’s most successful big fish anglers Jon McAllister from Kent has recently had an amazing start to his campaign on an Essex syndicate water. On his very first night, Jon managed to bank a 35lb 14oz mirror, a fish that hadn’t been caught for 4-years - but it got even better! The following night Jon managed to bank a fish known as Stella at a staggering 45lb 8oz.
Jon has been using the Shellfish B5 with a new attractor combination that includes Black Pepper Oil and caught the brace of big fish on his first two nights using it, as well as his first ever session on the water! Amazing stuff Jon – keep ‘em coming!
The wonders of Thaumatin

Thaumatin is undoubtedly one of the most attractive ingredients we have ever seen when it comes to producing a stimulatory response. It can be used in particles, boilies, boilie glugs, liquid foods, stick, spod and spomb mixes etc, etc. Even match anglers have used it in their maggots and groundbait formulations and romped past their nearest competitors, simply because the fish seem to go into a complete feeding frenzy when this stuff is added to food!
We Would NEVER advocate the use of particles without Thaumatin and we promise that you will see a massive difference compared to particles without it. With so many shelf life particles available on shop shelves, and doubts about the aded preservatives making them taste 'bitter', Thaumatin is the perfect answer. Just a few mils per jar can make the world of difference and significantly improve your catch rate.
Beware of immitations! Essential Baits are the ONLY company that market Thaumatin-B.
