B5 now nails the Big Dink!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th March 2008Now here’s a nice story…Jason Woods from Dorking, Surrey has been fishing the Cemex Longfield Road lake with his cousin Dan Chart, who recently banked the venues other forty, ‘Clover’ at a weight of 41lb 8oz (pictured above). Since the capture of Clover Dan has continued his quest for the Big Dink and has had a number of other fish from the difficult venue since switching over to the B5.
Now Jason, not wanting to miss a trick, asked Cousin Dan if he could try some of this B5 stuff that seems to be producing all the goods. Dan kindly obliges by giving Jason a kilo of the B5 – and we all know what’s going to happen next!! Yep, out go twenty-five B5 freebies to a silt spot at 15-yards close to two small islands and bingo!! Within a short space of time Jason is smiling at the camera with the Big Dink at a weight of 41lb 10oz! Top B5 bombing yet again.
Powdered Additives and Extracts
Long time Essential Baits consultant Rick Golder with a stunning '48' from a mega difficult venue. Rick knows the importance of a good food bait combined with the correct ingredients to trigger a feeding response. His results prove this year after year.
The inclusion of powdered additives and extracts within a boilie recipe will undoubtedly make a massive difference in terms of attraction and palatability. Used at the correct inclusion levels, they will trigger a feeding response and lead to prolonged feeding. They can also be hugely beneficial at repelling nasty sediment odours from 'tainting' the bait. The FF6 found within the B5 is a classic example of this and will always make sure your baits smell 'sweet', even when fishing amongst horrible black silt.
Many of these products are used extensively within the aquaculture industry to promote feeding, so it goes to show that these ingredients will play a huge part within the inclusion of a successful bait recipe, both short and long term.
Top tip
Betaine is an excellent ingredient for triggering the carp's receptors. If you want an 'instant' feeding response for short session fishing, just pour 20ml Boilie Glug or Liquid Food over 1 kilo of boilies and sprinkle one level tsp of betaine over the top before shaking vigourously.
