The Leopard strikes
Posted in Catch Reports on 12th September 2009Carp just don’t get much better looking that this absolute stunner of a fish known as The Leopard. The lucky captor was team Essential member Martin Finan who recently managed to bank the impressive creature from a Glos gravel pit at a weight of 36lb 12oz.
Just days before the capture Martin introduced a couple of kilo’s of B5 into some snags and watched The Leopard bully the other fish out of the way to get to the bait so he wasn’t surprised to see it end up in the bottom of his net on his next session. Great observation, great fish and a great bit of angling.
Good quality food baits
Ben Thompson with a stunning 47lb 5oz pb mirror caught on B5 freezer boilies when the fish seemed totally pre-occupied with naturals!
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.
