Clover rolls over!

Posted in Catch Reports on 15th February 2008

Dan Chart from Dorking, Surrey has been targeting the Cemex Longfield Road Lake in pursuit of one its most elusive residents, ‘Clover’. However, on a recent visit to the tricky venue he managed to bank his target fish at a weight of 41lbs. The magnificent mirror is a highly sought after fish and comes from a venue which doesn’t give up its residents that often, but like so many big elusive fish before it, Clover was unable to resist the temptation of the awesome Shellfish B5.

Dan, who is also a bailiff on the venue, fished into the teeth of a strong westerley wind where he presented fifty 16mm B5 freebies to a small silt spot at a range of 10-yards. The bite came just 3-hours after presenting the bait/rig and Dan’s long term quest was finally over. Apparently the celebrations have only just finished!! Well done Dan from all at Essential.


Short term preserved boilies

Andy Clark successfully used our short term preserved boilies to tempt this awesome 67lb giant from Gigantica in France.

Many anglers love fresh/freezer boilies, whilst others prefer the convenience of shelf life boilies for those extended sessions or trips abroad. We therefore decided to develop a 'hybrid' between the two and our short term preserved boilies have been used with remarkable success across Europe. Their 30-day shelf life suits many anglers, and if you plan to have your bait delivered a few days before your trip, they will not only be fine for the duration of your stay, but any that are brought back can be put in the freezer and treated as freezer bait thereafter.

These boilies are also ideal for customers ordering bait from outside the UK, because the baits will withstand the shipping duration and can be placed in your freezer ready to use as required. Due to a 'drying out' period they are generally slightly harder than standard freezer boilies.
