More short session success for Rick
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th April 2009Following Rick Golder’s success last month, the Berkshire based fish catching machine has been at it again! His latest success resulted in this cracking 37lb linear (top right) and a 41lb 1oz mirror (below right) during another one of his ‘overnight assault missions’. Rick’s overnight sessions are usually proceeded by a day’s work but we often wonder how he manages to keep his eyes open following such sleepless nights, and like his mate ‘Big George’ says, “He ain’t no spring chicken either”!
Rick has only done 7-nights fishing since his return to the bank after a short break, but during this time has already managed to accumulate a 25, three 37’s and a 41. Although last month Rick was doing the damage on the Creamseed, now temperatures have warmed up he’s switched back to the B5 and has proved what most anglers already know……… when it comes to nailing the big fish week after week, there isn’t anything out there that comes even close to the B5.
Shelf life boilie advantages
Our Essential resident 'Globetrotter' Merv Pennell with one of his many big carp caught on our range of Shelf life boilies. Merv, amongst so many other anglers, openly admits that our shelf life range offer a massive edge over 'standard' shelf life boilies and would not use anything else.
Of course the big advantage about the use of shelf life boilies can be summed up in just one word – convenience! And this is the key word you need to bear in mind. Good quality freezer baits are fantastic for that long term baiting campaign, yet can be problematic for extended UK sessions and of course when fishing on the continent.
So would we recommend substituting freezer baits with shelf life boilies for long term bait application? In short, no we wouldn’t! Simply because this will not offer any advantages at all, however, we can honestly say that for those trips outside the UK or even those extended sessions within the UK where it would be difficult to keep freezer baits fresh, this highly successfull range of shelf life boilies tick all the boxes - and more!
So many anglers strongly believe these are the best quality shelf life boilie available ANYWHERE in the world! Confidence and convenience, such key words for success.
Top Tips
1) Avoid cheap and cheerful shelf life boilies like the plague. I can think of few things worse to ruin your chances of success than poor quality boilies that have been ‘over-flavoured’ to mask preservative odours!
2) If the manufacturer states there are no preservatives in them, ask him to tell the truth!
3) Beware of semi-soft shelf life boilies. These are likely to be overloaded with preservatives. We tend to rely on reduced moisture levels, which in turn creates a 'tougher' bait, but with far less preservative.
