Successful big carp angler Eddie Johnson from North Wales has been continuing his 550-mile round trips to the Essex Manor with yet more success. His latest reward came in the shape of this stunning mirror of 42lb 7oz known as ‘Big Lin’.

Eddie has had a string of success in recent years whilst using the B5 to target his big fish venues and needs a bait that he has 100% confidence in considering the amount of miles he clocks up. Well he’s certainly got that!!


Nutritional Base Mixes

Rob Fielding knows the importance of using a high quality food bait and as soon as he switched over to using Essential Baits, it completely transformed his fishing.

It almost goes without saying just how important I believe a good quality nutritional base mix is when it comes to catching carp on a consistent basis. You’ve only got to look at the success of the B5, year after year, to understand that a good quality food source will completely out-fish baits with lower nutritional values.

One of the most important things to remember is that carp have the ability to search out and recognise food signals prior to consumption. In other words, a good quality food source will spell the word FOOD as it releases ‘attractor signals’ into the surrounding water.

Baits constructed with little or no food value are unable to do this, and once any added attractors have been dispersed into the surrounding water, there will be no more food signals coming from the bait. In short, a good quality food bait will continue to send messages of food long after other baits have stopped working, and will continue to prove more successful, both short term and long term.
