PB common for Shaun

Posted in Catch Reports on 09th June 2011

Team Essential member Shaun Jarvis is no stranger to the big fish scene and also knows a thing or two about bait. After watching the reacton the carp seem to have on the Black Snail he decided to give it a go on his syndicate water and was instantly rewarded with this huge common of 43lb 8oz. Shaun caught the very same common last September at a weight of 40lb 4oz, although on that occasion the big fish fell for the B5. Further proof that the both the Black Snail and the B5 are exceptional big fish baits.

Well done Shaun - top result.

Liquid Flavours

A cracking forty-plus caught from a pressured venue on the B5 with Shellfish Plum flavour. Bait choice was a key factor to a very succesful campaign on this venue.

Liquid flavours play an important roll within the creation of a successful long term bait recipe for a number of reasons. They will not only help to give the finished bait it’s own unique taste profile, but also give it a distinctive ‘label’ that the carp will come to recognise through association. In other words, you will be educating them to eat the bait and recognise the 'taste' and 'smell' over a period of time.

Be careful not to get flavours confused with attractors though, because in terms of nutritional value, unlike liquid foods, they have little or no food value, however, for the reasons outlined above, they are a very important addition to any successful recipe.
