B5 gets Black eye!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010We’ve recently had a lovely letter from Mark Foster commenting on the quality and effectiveness of our bait and thanking the Essential team for such a good service. It’s always nice to hear we are doing things right but at the end of the day, it’s you guys that are out there on the bank that deserve all the accolades, especially when you catch fish like this awesome 48lb 1oz mirror known as ‘Black Eye’.
Mark used our Shellfish B5 freezer boilies to tempt the beast out of its watery home. He also banked the two-tone linear at 35.11 and seems to have caught consistently on all the waters he’s fished this year. Mark puts it down to the bait, we put it down to good angling. What the hell, the both combined are a recipe for guaranteed success!
Mike on Bag 'n' Stick Liquids
The main function of liquids is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig and increase the chances of fish being pulled into the area. Stick Mixes, Method Mixes and Ground bait can simply be mixed together with water, but by adding a liquid food as well, you will be increasing the food signals coming from the bait. On many occasions I’ve witnessed carp being pulled down from the upper layers on to the baited spot, and I have no doubt that this has been due to the liquids sending out attractive food messages through the water column.
Of course these liquids can be used for a number of other useful applications as well. For example, coating pellets with these liquids will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched out into the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from being soaked in a liquid for a few hours first.
I can honestly say that these Bag ‘n’ Stick Liquids have caught me a number of ‘bonus fish’ when I’ve been pretty much convinced that I would have struggled without using them. There will be a time and a place to use them, but ignore them at your peril!
