Bait

When 5kg of freezer bait arrived in the office, it wasn’t long before the receptionist had sent me a barrage of e-mails asking me to remove the ‘stinky bait’. As you can imagine, I eagerly wanted to see what the culprit was.

Having experienced the pulling power of the shelf-life variety, I was impressed to see the quality of the bait and the receptionist was right, a rich powerful fishy aroma just engulfs you as soon as you open the bag. Utilising a low-temperature fishmeal, this bait screams big carp.

Looking deeper into the bait it benefits from soluble krill protein extract, krill meal, fermented shrimp paste and brewer’s yeast, making this a real favourite among the old-school anglers out there and those in search of a highly effective instant carp bait. The pungent aroma derives from the original prawn flavour that was used in the mid-1980s to devastating effect across some of Europe’s largest and hardest waters, such as Cassien and Salagou, not to mention some of the trickiest venues around the UK. Available in 15mm and 18mm, the bait can be purchased in 1kg and 2.5kg volumes for short sessions or longer baiting campaigns. (DM)
