Catch Reports
It just gets better and better!
Posted in Catch Reports on 30th June 2010That was the comment made to us by globetrotting expert and consistent catcher of big carp Merv Pennell after his recent trip to France, which yielded no fewer than three fifties! Merv’s son Rhys also got in the thick of the action with fish of 37.12, 40.08 and 47.04 whilst Merv’s big trio weighed in at 51, 54.12 and 57.04.
Merv and Rhys used a customised version of the B5 which included our Pineapple XL attractor package, which seems to be hauling an extraordinary amount of big fish to those who have used it. Top B5 bombing in every sense of the word!
Wafters as hookbaits
Ian May with one of many 40lb+ commons he's landed on Essential Baits by making sure his hookbait placement is spot on.
The name 'Wafters' can be a little misleading because we don't want these baits too critically balanced. In our experience a hookbait that's too 'buoyant' can 'waft' all over the place as a carp approaches the bait and render it very ineffective and easy to eject. What we have done with these special hookbaits is to make them slightly more buoyant than a standard bottom bait straight out of the bag. This in turn will negate the weight of the hook and the hooklink and by the time the rig is presented, it will behave the same as the free offerings surrounding it. This is exactly what you need to achieve if you think about it because the carp will be feeding on the freebies and you want your hookbait to behave in exactly the same way.
Note
Our Wafters are 'tougher' than boilies straight out of the bag and are a popular choice for anglers that prefer their hookbaits a little harder than their freebies.
