Ricky has no Fear!

Posted in Catch Reports on 07th May 2012

Somerset angler Ricky 'Fear' Thomas has once again shown how to combine good angling skills with what many believe to be the very best carp bait ever produced by smashing his syndicate water to pieces and catching the most carp ever caught during a single 24-hour session!

Rick used the ever consistent B5 boilies to bank no less than 23 carp during the hectic 24-hour stint! Fourteen of these were over 20lbs up to 29lb 13oz with the biggest of the session weighing in at 32lb 5oz! Now that's what we call a dream session for any young angler - well done Rick...

Footnote:- In just three 24-hour sessions using the incredible B5, Rick has now landed 20 doubles, over 20 different 20's and four 30's!

 


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.
