Quick work for Kenny
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th April 2011We recently had a lovely email from Kenny Emson who has been using the B5 to very good effect over the years, but his recent success underlines just how incerdibly effective and instant the B5 can be...
"Hi Mike/Essential
Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome bait which proves its versatility once again. I took it onto new syndicate water and within a week I have had the big girl (39.8) and one of the other originals (29). The B5 is truly awesome. Attached is a picture of the biggie, but mainly I just wanted to say thanks, and with B5 on the hook there's one less thing to worry about whilst your fishing.
Hope everything is good with you
Kenny Emson"
Thanks for the above words Kenny but we would like to return the credit by saying what a good bit of angling and well done on catching your target fish so quickly - awesome!
Corker Pop-Ups
Cork dust pop-ups have a number of advantages over other pop-ups.
1) Made with identical ingredients/attractors to free offerings and send out the same food signals.
2) More durable and less prone to ‘theft’ from nuisance fish, crayfish and birdlife!
3) They can be pierced with a baiting needle without losing buoyancy.
4) Brilliant for ‘snowman’ presentations where you can trim down the corker pop up with scissor blades to achieve the perfect level of buoyancy required.
5) Ease of use.
Top tip for long term buoyancy
When fishing pop-up rigs in deep water for long periods of time or on waters where bird life can be a problem, drill out a cavity in the corker pop up with an 8mm drill bit then plug it with Gardner Tackle’s cylindrical high density rig foam (yellow). Then pierce the corker pop up on to your hook/rig, making sure the baiting needle goes up through the yellow foam first, then secure with boilie stop. I guarantee you that you can leave your pop up out there for 3-days if needed with no loss of buoyancy! Further to this, in the unlikely event that a diving coot or tufty unknowingly pinches your pop up, you are still fishing a nice visual yellow ‘fake’ bait.
