Andy banks another stunner!

Posted in Catch Reports on 14th August 2011

This magnificent looking 36lb 4oz linear fell to the rods of consistent angler Andy Windmill who always seems to be getting amongst the bigguns. His latest stunner fell to the ever consistent Black Snail but Andy has been using both the Black Snail and the B5 with some very interesting results.

In his own words and said..... "Over the past three months I've been fishing two gravel pits (one in Berks one in Northants depending on work) mixing it up between B5 and the Black Snail and although the B5 is king in the numbers game the Black Snail is way out ahead on the quality stakes with nothing under 30 so far on the snail!!"

Those big 30's certainly seem to love 'The Snail'!!!! Well done Andy and keep those stunners coming...

 


Good quality food baits

I can't begin to stress the importance of using a high quality food bait when it comes to catching carp on a regular basis. A bait formulated with nutritional ingredients will be sending out food signals long after the liquid attractors have been dispersed, this due to the fact that the ingredients themselves will be breaking down and sending out messages of food into the surrounding water.

Cheaper baits that have little or no nutritional value might sound more attractive on the pocket, but they will cost you dearly when it comes to producing the goods. Once any liquid attractors have dispersed, the bait will not be sending out any food signals at all, but further to this, will have no nutritional benefit whatsoever.

Carp, like all other fish, soon learn to recognise a food source and will continue to eat it again and again if it provides them with a sense of nutritional satisfaction. They have the ability to detect a nutritional food source prior to consumption (food signals coming from the bait) and after ingestion. With this in mind, we have developed what we believe to be the highest quality range of nutritional food baits available, and the success of the B5 alone has certainly gone some way to proving this.
