Catch Reports
Just incredible!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010Essential Bait’s consultant Shaun Jarvis won’t forget his last two fishing trips in a hurry! The first session resulted in the capture of a massive mirror from a Hants Stillwater that he’d been targeting for several weeks. After steadily applying his Shellfish B5 boilies to the venue the big mirror succumbed to his net and weighed a staggering 52lb 14oz!
After banking his personal best mirror Shaun then turned his attention to an undisclosed southern Stillwater in search of his next quest, this being to beat his personal best common, but little did he know he was about to accomplish this feat on his very next session! During a short overnight session between work, Shaun managed an amazing 14 carp haul, with the biggest being an immaculate 40lb 4oz personal best common!
Two short sessions, a fifty pound plus pb mirror and a forty pound plus pb common. Incredible stuff Shaun and top B5 bombing. Congratulations form all the Essential team.
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.
