Big Winter Brace on new bait
Posted in Catch Reports on 25th November 2008It’s been no big secret that Essential Baits have been formulating one or two new baits over the past couple of years with a view to releasing them in 2009 or 2010. On a recent ‘overnighter’ Essential bait boss Mike Willmott decided to put one of the cold water versions to the test, and within the space of an hour managed to bank a lovely deep bodied mirror of 33lb 1oz shortly followed by a very elusive common known as ‘Tyson’ at a weight of 27lb 1oz.
Amazingly, the common had only ever seen the bank once before and this was over two and a half years ago! Commenting on the development of the new bait Mike added “I’m very happy with the way things are going at the moment and we have some very exciting new products coming out over the next 18-months or so. It’s too early to give too much away at this stage, but if results over the past year are anything to go by I’m very confident that a new blockbuster bait to rival the impressive B5 may not be too far away” Watch this space!
Something for the weekend sir!
I'm sure most of us would like to think that we're a little more organised than to get caught out with no bait for the weekend, but in truth we've probably all made the mistake of running out of bait at one time or another! Many customers have contacted us over the years to tell us how convenient these weekend session packs are and how they've 'saved' their trip when they've run out of bait.
They really are perfect for a one off weekend session or to keep in the boot of your car or even your garage. We've even had customers that have taken them abroad on their family holidays with a rod and reel chucked in for good measure just in case they stumble across a hidden gem! Perfect for a weekend session or as a 'back up' on those red letter sessions!
