Over the Rainbow!

Posted in Catch Reports on 19th May 2008

Now we very rarely if ever include captures of foreign fish on this site because with so many big fish being caught from the UK on Essential Baits we don’t need to!! However, we’ve recently received pictures of some stunning Rainbow carp from Lee Woodfield that we are more than happy to accommodate.

Lee is no stranger to the big fish mecca having visited the place on a number of previous occasions and catching a few B5 whackers in the process. It was therefore no coincidence that Lee opted for the B5 on his latest 7-day mission. We’re not sure how many fish Lee ended up with, but we do know that towards the tail end of his trip, he ended up with mirrors of 56lb 8oz and 62lb, together with commons of 52lb and 69lb 8oz – the latter being just ounces short of the lake record! Well done Lee from all at essential.

This brings us nicely on to the fact that we can now confirm in advance that Essential Baits will be launching a shelf life version of the famous Shellfish B5 in 2009.

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 forÂ 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.
