Bait

Krill is very much the in vogue bait right now and this liquid additive is up there with the best krill around. Just a capful or two can transform a spod mix and it’s also perfect for adding to PVA bags and stick mixes for extra pulling power. I love to dip or soak my hook baits in a small amount of the pungent liquid for a few minutes, or longer, before casting out. This helps the hook bait stand out from the crowd and I am sure that it’s resulted in a few bonus bites here and there.

When half a dozen new Enterprise products made their way back from The Big One Show and were deposited on our editor’s desk, he noted a few nice additions to the range, but nothing that immediately stood out. However, when he and TC’s Max Hendry looked more closely, and took a few products from their packaging, they were struck by one in particular – the Hybrid Boilies. The more they played around with them, the more they realised that there would be a fight over who got to keep the packet that they’d received!Inside each pack are eight barrel-shaped, 10mm wafter baits, Frank Warwick’s Fruit Juice variety in this case, along with the Hybrids themselves. These resemble artificial boilies that have been bored out completely through the middle and there are yellow, pink, orange and white versions supplied.
