Quick work for Kenny
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th April 2011We recently had a lovely email from Kenny Emson who has been using the B5 to very good effect over the years, but his recent success underlines just how incerdibly effective and instant the B5 can be...
"Hi Mike/Essential
Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome bait which proves its versatility once again. I took it onto new syndicate water and within a week I have had the big girl (39.8) and one of the other originals (29). The B5 is truly awesome. Attached is a picture of the biggie, but mainly I just wanted to say thanks, and with B5 on the hook there's one less thing to worry about whilst your fishing.
Hope everything is good with you
Kenny Emson"
Thanks for the above words Kenny but we would like to return the credit by saying what a good bit of angling and well done on catching your target fish so quickly - awesome!
Balanced Dumbells
There are definitely times when standard round hook baits can lose their effectiveness and a switch to a different shape can often produce the goods. These pellet shaped hook baits offer a viable alternative to standard round hook baits and when mounted on a slightly longer hair and fished over a bed of pellets, they can often make the difference between success and failure!
Their shape not only makes them very difficult for the fish to eject, but coupled with their added buoyancy due to the inclusion of cork dust, they are also superb for fishing over the top of silt or weed. They are also very durable and will last for many hours without being nibbled away by nuisance fish, Crayfish or diving birds. Definitely worth considering when the going gets tough!
Top tip
Try mounting the dumbell on the hair long-ways. This will enter the carp's mouth easier, but will spin around on ejection thus making it more difficult for the carp to eject the hook.
