Darren's delight
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th August 2011Long time Essential Bait user Darren Greaves from Glos has had a break from carp fshing in recent years, but like most of us have experienced at one time or another, the urge to get back out on the bank eventually catches up with you!
Darren decided to try out the Black Snail on Christchurch at Linch Hill and soon found out just how effective the bait is when on his very first night he was rewarded with this magnificent 36lb 14oz mirror. Not a bad return!! Darren has since contacted us to say that he's been back and nailed another thirty! Just goes to show how a good quality bait can give you a massive edge on some of these pressured venues. Well done mate and keep up the good work...
Boilie Glugs
The use of boilie Dips/Glugs to increase attraction levels can be extremely effective, particularly on short sessions or for using single hook baits when you want to boost the food signals.
For 'glugging up' your baits, just pour approx 20ml of your chosen liquid into a 1kg bag of boilies and shake well to ensure even distribution. This can be done before placing them into the freezer or after they’ve been taken out. If applying the liquid after the boilies have been taken out, it’s best to let them thaw out first before adding the liquid. It's also advisable to add the liquid to the boilies a few hours before you hit the bank, thus allowing a little time for the boilies to soak it up, although this isn't imperative.
For boosting your hook baits only, one useful ploy is to leave them permanently soaking within the solution and this will really ‘kick out’ the attraction. Bear in mind that pop-ups are likely to loose a little buoyancy if doing this for long periods. Alternatively you can just pour 10ml of the liquid solution into a jar of pop-ups and shake well. This will give them an extra boost without effecting buoyancy levels too much.
