Important Shipping information, terms and conditions. Important - please read thoroughly.
We will endeavour to get your order to you within 2 to 3 working days (with the exception of freezer boilies – see below). Orders received one day will be despatched the following working day on an overnight courier service. Please remember that the goods will need to be signed for so please make sure someone is available at the delivery address.
.
All orders over £100 are sent post free (UK Mainland only).
.
All delivery prices on website are for mainland UK only. For non-mainland postage costs please enquire.
.
Freezer boilies (Please allow sufficient lead time).
These are not sent out frozen but are made fresh to order and sent out on an overnight courier as soon as they are made, thus ensuring maximum freshness. They are delivered fresh to your door for you to put in the freezer as soon as you receive them.
.
Due to the fact that they are made to order, you will need to allow sufficient lead time for us to plan them into our rolling schedule. Delivery days are Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and as a general rule, orders received one week will be sent out for delivery the following week. However, this can often increase depending on 'seasonal demand' and can at times be 4 to 6 weeks. It is VERY important to leave your mobile number so that our courier can send you an SMS message the day your goods leave so that you know exactly when to expect delivery, but please feel free to phone us for an update at any time.
.
If the boilies are urgently required it might be worth contacting us via telephone to see if we can fit them in at short notice. This will depend on how busy we are at the time with the rolling schedule, but we promise that we will try our best to do so.
.
The goods will need to be signed for so it is very important someone is at home to take delivery. If there is no answer the goods will be taken back to the depot and the customer will have to arrange an alternative delivery date. Essential Baits cannot accept any responsibility for any ‘freshness’ issues if no one is available to sign for the goods.
.
VERY IMPORTANT:You will receive an SMS message the day your goods leave Essential HQ, followed by another the following morning to give you a one hour 'delivery slot'. It is strongly suggested that someone is available to sign for the delivery during this one hour window. If you contact our courier (DPD) and request a different delivery address, this will often delay the goods for at least 24 hours and we take no responsibility for the freshness of the goods if this happens. We feel the above notifications give enough notice of delivery and for you to arrange someone to sign for them. It may also be worth noting that if you contact our courier AFTER you have received a delivery notification SMS message, asking for the goods to be left in a safe place, it is down to the drivers discretion as to whether he/she considers it to be safe and in some cases, the goods are taken back to the depot. Once again, Essential Baits take no responsibility for this.
.
When ordering, you can always have the goods delivered to an alternative address such as work, friends, family, neighbour etc. Alternatively you can instruct the goods to be left in a safe place such as a garage or shed, however, the recipient must accept full responsibility for the goods if you choose this option.

Please note: These are the full strength unadulterated pure liquids. Each bottle is enough to prepare 20kg dry particles - that's 30kg+ of finished particles! Also perfect for zigs, boilie glugs and boilie recipies.
Thaumatin-B (original)
One of our biggest selling ingredients for over 15 years! Virtually everyone that has used this liquid to boost particles, boilie glugs, zigs and boilie recipes has experienced a massive difference to their catch rate. A phenomonal liquid with incredible ‘pulling power’.
ThaumatinRed
This is the new full strength ‘Red’ version which includes the addition of red fruit attractors such as cranberry. Use exactly as the Thaumatin-B, but the added fruity ‘twist’ gives the liquid a lovely lingering fruity aroma. Perfect for particles, zigs, boilie glugs and boilie recipies.
ThaumatinGold
This is the new full strength ‘Gold’ version which includes the addition of dairy cream attractors. Use exactly as the Thaumatin-B, but the added creamy ‘twist’ gives the liquid a completely different dimension. Perfect for particles, zigs, boilie glugs and boilie recipies.
Note: These are the 'full strength' liquids. We also produce TB sprays that have been formulated at the correct levels to apply directly on to your bait. For sprays please click HERE
Frequently asked questions about Thaumatin
So what is it?
Well, Thaumatin-B is a 100% natural liquid protein sweetener derived from African fruit and is approx 2,000 times sweeter than sugar! It includes the addition of Betaine and is exclusive to Essential. In other words, you will not find this product elsewhere under a different label!
How does it work?
In short the liquid will speed up the natural fermentation process of all particles whilst at the same time have a very synergistic effect on the inherent sugars resulting from the fermentation process. It is extremely palatable an triggers an aggressive feeding response that is difficult to replicate with any other substance we have found.
What about inclusion levels?
It can be used at just 5ml per dry kilo of particles (and up to 10ml) and is best added at the initial soaking stage, however, it can also be added to particles that have already been prepared as long as it is left to soak-in for at least 24-hours. If used at the lower inclusion level each 100ml bottle is enough to prepare 20kg of dry particles!
Does it have any other uses?
Most definitely yes! We use it within all of our Fermented Liquid Foods to give them an added boost and to make them totally different (and better!) to other amino-based liquids available. It can also be used in any boilie glug/dip at a rate of just 1ml per 100ml to boost palatability and to give it a completely new lease of life. It can also be used at low level (2ml per kilo) in boilie recipes, particularly to take away any bitter edges from fishmeals etc.
Brief particle preperation guideline?
Cover chosen particles with water. Make sure you add plenty of water to allow for the particles soaking it up and the evaporation process during boiling. We usually add at least several inches of water above particle level to allow for this. Add Thaumatin-B liquid to water and stir well. Example inclusion would be 25ml Thaumatin-B to 5kg dry particles as standard. This can be doubled for short session use/instant attraction. To increase visual attraction products such as long life or carnation milk can be added to the mix if required but this is not essential.
Leave particles standing for at least 24-hours to soak up liquid and attractors (this time can be doubled with hemp). After this, boil particles thoroughly (usually between 15-mins and 30-mins dependant on which type) and leave to stand overnight. Once cooled break down into smaller batches and place in freezer until ready to use. Particles can be constantly re-freezed with no detrimental effects.
