Bait

Boilies -- please bring only fresh/frozen boilies, we have large freezers on site to store your bait during your session so if you don't use it you can take it home again. We do not allow shelf life boilies because they generally have a lower nutritional content and take much longer to break down if they are not eaten. Shelf life hookbaits are allowed like pop ups or glugged bottom baits because they are not being fed.

We have a comprehensive range on Mainline Frozen readymade boilies, all in 20mm to reduce the attentions of the bream. Without doubt THE CELL has been the most productive bait by far this season, mainly because that has been used the most, FUSION and NEW GRANGE have both caught very well and are good alternatives. 10kg of Mainline is 100 euros and you can leave it in the freezer during your stay so it doesn't go off. The best catches in 2009 have come over large beds of CELL that are topped up regularly, if you are fishing only with boilies we suggest at least 20kg for the week, starting with 3-5kg in one large area on day 1, after every fish feed another ½-2kg, quite simply the more you feed the more bites you get, the fish will tolerate feeding over their heads when they are 'having it' because the water is 20 feet deep.

Pop ups are available for both baits in 15mm. Plus two of the best from the High Viz range, Pineapple in bright yellow and Fruitella in bright pink, both is 10 and 15mm, these are great for high vis snowman rigs and little pop ups fished as close to the lakebed as possible.

Because we have no weed bottom baits work far better than pop ups which we feel are too obvious on such a clean flat lakebed. Because of this we have made up some special 'boosted' bottom baits, including the ever popular pineapple, strawberry and tutti fruiti, all superb carp catchers and perfect over a spod mix to get the fish to single out your hookbait amongst a carpet of goodies.

All tubs of hookbaits are the same price 7.2 euros, equal to the retail price in the UK.
