Catch Reports
20+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+ and a 70+ in just 12-hours!!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th July 2012You won't see many foreign catch reports of this site but when a customer contacts you to say that he's had fish of 20lb+, 30lb+, 40lb+, 50lb+, 60lb+ and 70lb+ in just 12-hours it does make you sit up and take notice! The lucky captor was Alex Ramsey who was fishing at Domaine De La Ribere in France. All the fish fell between Midday and Midnight and fell to B5 Wafters fished over B5 pellets with the biggest weighing a massive 75lb 12oz!
Having taken his brother to the airport earlier in the day, Alex had to wade out and land the fish all on his own, and as you can imagine, was pretty much exhausted at the end of that mad feeding frenzy!!
Shelf life boilie advantages
Our Essential resident 'Globetrotter' Merv Pennell with one of his many big carp caught on our range of Shelf life boilies. Merv, amongst so many other anglers, openly admits that our shelf life range offer a massive edge over 'standard' shelf life boilies and would not use anything else.
Of course the big advantage about the use of shelf life boilies can be summed up in just one word – convenience! And this is the key word you need to bear in mind. Good quality freezer baits are fantastic for that long term baiting campaign, yet can be problematic for extended UK sessions and of course when fishing on the continent.
So would we recommend substituting freezer baits with shelf life boilies for long term bait application? In short, no we wouldn’t! Simply because this will not offer any advantages at all, however, we can honestly say that for those trips outside the UK or even those extended sessions within the UK where it would be difficult to keep freezer baits fresh, this highly successfull range of shelf life boilies tick all the boxes - and more!
So many anglers strongly believe these are the best quality shelf life boilie available ANYWHERE in the world! Confidence and convenience, such key words for success.
Top Tips
1) Avoid cheap and cheerful shelf life boilies like the plague. I can think of few things worse to ruin your chances of success than poor quality boilies that have been ‘over-flavoured’ to mask preservative odours!
2) If the manufacturer states there are no preservatives in them, ask him to tell the truth!
3) Beware of semi-soft shelf life boilies. These are likely to be overloaded with preservatives. We tend to rely on reduced moisture levels, which in turn creates a 'tougher' bait, but with far less preservative.
