A switch to B5 produces two Monster Commons!
Posted in Catch Reports on 25th March 2009We need to keep the details of this one a bit hush hush due to publicity restrictions and water protection but David Bishop has recently had an unbelievable result by banking two different 40+ commons!
The bigger of the two commons weighed in at 45lb and was a fish that Dave had been chasing for the past 4-years to no avail. He therefore decided to switch over to our Shellfish B5 in the hope that a high quality food bait would change his fortunes and it certainly did! In no time at all the elusive big common was sulking in the bottom of his net – job done!
Dave is in no doubt that the B5 played a big role in the downfall of the monster common and decided to use the same bait on a different venue to track down yet another big common. After a period of bait introduction the result was never really in doubt, but unbelievably, Dave managed to nail the big common on his very first night!! It went 42lb 8oz and capped a memorable period in his angling career.
Well angled that man. Top B5 common bombing! Further proof (as if needed!) that the B5 is streets ahead of any other bait on the market in terms of both its attractor package and its nutritional value.
Wafters as hookbaits
Ian May with one of many 40lb+ commons he's landed on Essential Baits by making sure his hookbait placement is spot on.
The name 'Wafters' can be a little misleading because we don't want these baits too critically balanced. In our experience a hookbait that's too 'buoyant' can 'waft' all over the place as a carp approaches the bait and render it very ineffective and easy to eject. What we have done with these special hookbaits is to make them slightly more buoyant than a standard bottom bait straight out of the bag. This in turn will negate the weight of the hook and the hooklink and by the time the rig is presented, it will behave the same as the free offerings surrounding it. This is exactly what you need to achieve if you think about it because the carp will be feeding on the freebies and you want your hookbait to behave in exactly the same way.
Note
Our Wafters are 'tougher' than boilies straight out of the bag and are a popular choice for anglers that prefer their hookbaits a little harder than their freebies.
