Yet more Forties for Finan!
Posted in Catch Reports on 19th July 2008We find it hard to keep track of just how many big fish Martin Finan catches, but let’s just say it’s one hell of a lot!! We know for a fact that it’s at least six forties during the past 5-months, with 3 of them going over 45lb and up to 54lb – that’s incredible, and if you tally up what he’s caught during the past couple of years, he’s probably the most successful big fish angler in the UK at the moment. All Martin’s fish have fallen to the ever consistent Shellfish B5 with Squid and Black Pepper.
His most recent conquest resulted in the capture of this magnificent 45.03 mirror, but wait for it…..since banking this forty, he has since returned to the venue to catch a 34lb common followed by a 45lb mirror!!! As you would expect, the B5 producing the goods once again. Is there a better ‘Big fish’ bait than the B5? You can bet your life there isn’t!!
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.
