Catch Reports
Cracking common!
Posted in Catch Reports on 12th May 2011Lee Carpenter is another angler who has been using the Black Snail to very good effect recently. Lee has caught several good fish on the 'black stuff' over the past few weeks topped by this cracking common of 38lb 4oz.
The reports on the new Black Snail are now coming in thick and fast and it seems like everyone who is using it are reaping the rewards of getting in on it early. There's no doubting the fact that the carp love this stuff and we predict that it will blitz quite a number of difficult big fish venues up and down the country in the coming months!
Powdered Additives and Extracts
Long time Essential Baits consultant Rick Golder with a stunning '48' from a mega difficult venue. Rick knows the importance of a good food bait combined with the correct ingredients to trigger a feeding response. His results prove this year after year.
The inclusion of powdered additives and extracts within a boilie recipe will undoubtedly make a massive difference in terms of attraction and palatability. Used at the correct inclusion levels, they will trigger a feeding response and lead to prolonged feeding. They can also be hugely beneficial at repelling nasty sediment odours from 'tainting' the bait. The FF6 found within the B5 is a classic example of this and will always make sure your baits smell 'sweet', even when fishing amongst horrible black silt.
Many of these products are used extensively within the aquaculture industry to promote feeding, so it goes to show that these ingredients will play a huge part within the inclusion of a successful bait recipe, both short and long term.
Top tip
Betaine is an excellent ingredient for triggering the carp's receptors. If you want an 'instant' feeding response for short session fishing, just pour 20ml Boilie Glug or Liquid Food over 1 kilo of boilies and sprinkle one level tsp of betaine over the top before shaking vigourously.
