Pva Bag-up Feeda leads



Now in stock


The idea of these leads are that they are basically a ’Feederless Feeder’. Simply slide a small PVA bag under the elasticated strap and position your hookbait right on top by nicking the hook into the bag.

Now just think of the advantages over a conventional flat feeder.

Info:
Your feeder and hookbait are guaranteed to stay on the feeder. They’re not lost during casting, or on impact, or as the feeder sinks, and if you miscast you can reel in and try again without spreading feed everywhere!

Once in the water your bag will burst open in 1-5 minutes depending on the type of PVA bags you’ve chosen and water temperature. The bags contents will then cover the lead in a small pile with the hook right in amongst it.

This is the ultimate fish trap!

The bags can be filled with any feed as long as it’s PVA friendly and not too wet.

For example:

Maggots - Live or dead.
Cereal - Groundbait including fishmeal.
Boilies - Whole or crushed.
Meat - Cubed or grated.
Bread

And of course Pellets, even softened ones as long as they’re soaked then left to swell up and dry a little. The list of possibilities is endless, this is not possible with a normal flat feeder. These bags can be made up in advance or made on the bank as and when you need them. The leads cast beautifully because of the teardrop shape and are inline and fishery safe.

Preston's Banjo feeder and mould















Masterminded by commercial expert Andy Findlay, this new style of feeder literally provides ‘dinner on a plate’ for commercial carp.
The way the Banjo feeder is loaded with the hookbait in the middle of the circular plate, and the way it deposits the feed pellets by forcing them to erupt out, covering the feeder and leaving the hookbait sitting dead centre, provides the perfect presentation every time as the area of feed is so confined.
There are no ribs on the design, that would normally be exposed above the broken down pellets, so that browsing carp don’t get spooked. Instead all the wary fish will see is a compact pile of offerings that will be hoovered with devastating effect.
When fully loaded the unique shape of the Banjo Feeder with its long stem and circular body, also creates the perfect weight forward aerodynamic set up which delivers fantastic casting accuracy and increases range.
The Banjo feeder will be available in both inline and elasticated options. There are two frame sizes to choose from, the small is perfect for the colder months by limiting the amount of feed, where as the larger size will undoubtedly be the choice during the summer. Each frame size is available in three weight options.


I now have all sizes and weights in stock including the moulds.

Sonu Baits Tiger Fish Feed Pellets



Tiger Fish - Carp feed pellets enhanced with Tiger Fish extract these pellets perfectly complement Tiger Fish groundbait and hookbaits soaked in the normal way they are ideal for using on a Method Feeder or in a Pellet Feeder they can also be fed through a catapult or pole pot or they can be used as a banded pellet

Sonu Baits Tiger Fish Grounbait



TIGER FISH GROUNDBAIT 2KG

Tiger Fish is a great new SonuBaits mix developed by Tommy Pickering which he has been using and developing throughout last season. It is a blend of Tiger Nuts, pellets and fishmeals crushed into a groundbait for carp.

It’s a sweet-smelling mix that came about after various discussions and observations from specimen carp fishermen, who were all convinced about Tiger Nuts and their effectiveness. As the Tiger Nuts are crushed they release the natural sugars and oils which help the mix go sticky when mixed with water.

Tiger Fish is best mixed over-damp for Method feeder work, but works just as well mixed normally for general feeder and pole work. It is easily mixed on the bank, and does not need to be riddled.

The Tiger Fish combination has been phenomenal during testing and won various matches around the UK. It’s great for carp, bream and even F1s.

Marukyu EFG161


This groundbait is truely unbelivable.
It has proved so popular with customers not just in my shop but across the whole of the UK that Marukyu actually sold out of it completly but i will it have back in stock from next week.

Rather than me ramble on about it heres what the good people at Marukyu have to say about it;

EFG 161 is our Method special groundbait.
Developed specifically with the UK in mind, it comprises 28 main ingredients and Marukyu certainly believes it to be the best on the market – bar none.
With its controlled breakdown speed it is perfect for adding attraction around the feeder over a long period of time. It works continuously and is just what you need in cold conditions.
Its cold-water attractants stimulate fish into feeding where other baits fail.
It is designed to work with all Method moulds and feeders and the inclusion of Marukyu’s special additives make this a real winner.

AT A GLANCE:

*A FINE PARTICLE GROUNDBAIT INFUSED WITH PROTEIN AND COLD WATER ATTRACTANTS.
*DEVELOPED FOR EXTREMELY FAST FLAVOUR RELEASE.
*MAKES PERFECT PASTE MIXED 1-TO-1
*TARGET SPECIES INCLUDE CARP, BREAM, TENCH, BARBELL AND F1S
*A PERFECT METHOD FEEDER BAIT

UNIQUE INGREDIENTS
Marukyu products have many unique ingredients. The clever part is how these have been blended together to make exceptional baits that catch fish consistently.

Take two additives that have been scientifically proven to be highly attractive to coarse fish, carefully formulate them into baits and groundbaits, and then bring them half way around the world to the UK. That's the huge edge that Tanishi (water snail) and Sanagi (Silkworm chrysalis) will bring to anglers who use them.
On lightly-stocked venues, the feeding triggers they release will draw fish away from natural food; on pressurised venues, these triggers will over-ride the caution with which fish approach potential food; and because the smell and taste of both natural ingredients is complex, they will not 'blow' and become ineffective in the way that unsophisticated baits laced with artificial flavours may do.

Marukyu JPz Hook Pellets














Only 40 shops in the UK will be getting this new revolutionary bait this month and i'm one of the lucky ones.
They will be in stock this week so if you want that edge over your mates or for your next match you know where to come

Marukyu JPz Hook Pellets

Marukyu hit the UK market with a storm when they launched their range of scientifically designed baits, and anglers are always looking for that next edge, and it looks as if Marukyu are about to do the same all over again with their new JPz hook pellets.

After 19 years of researching different baits, a team of scientists employed by Marukyu have finalised what they describe to be "a truely massive innovation in fishing bait technology". The idea started as a vision by the highly skilled team of Marukyu technologists. Once they reached satisfaction with the science behind the bait, further painstaking research and development with local Marukyu Pro Staff was conducted to ensure that JPz pellets were perfect in real fishing situations.

The exact science behind the baits is a closely guarded secret at Marukyu, but in simple terms, JPz have been formulated to ensure that the proteins and amino acids within the bait work together to attract fish, stimulate feeding and have the fish returning back for more. The sophisticated recipe of the bait is designed to release key feeding triggers into the water. In part, this process relies on polysaccharide science, but Marukyu are keeping the exact bait recipe top secret. As with all baits from Marukyu, JPz are made from top quality food sources that are free from manufactured chemicals and other ingredients that could potentially cause harm to the fish or the aquatic environment. To ensure that JPz are produced to the highest level of consistancy, Marukyu have developed unique machinery to to so.

You are probably thinking "what are the JPz all about then as they sound just like any other pellet?", and I thought the same until I actually had them in my hands. The JPz have the below innovative features;

•A 'pellet' that looks and feels like jelly but with totally different characteristics.
•No grain means JPz will not split when hooked.
•Can be hair rigged, side hooked or banded.
•Soft texture does not impede the hook, yet the pellet is durable enough to stay on the hair/hook during the hardest casts or missed bites.
•Controlled attractant release
•Multi-ingredient formulation means that each JPz is exactly the same
•Developed to be equally effective in both cold or warm water.
•JPz can be trimmed to size without affecting their performance
Marukyu have decided to initially release the JPz in one size and flavour, but as they can be cut down to size, simply snipping a pellet in half with a pair of scissors gives two smaller alternative hookbaits with no wastage. The initial JPz are 6mm in diameter and contain a naturally salty formulation called Ebi which is composed from multiple ingredients in cluding huge numbers of minute marine crustaceans that have been found to be extremely attractive to freshwater fish. The Ebi JPz are packaged in 50g resealable pots to ensure that the hookbaits can be used economically, retain long term effectiveness and also guarantee freshness. Marukyu are formulating other flavours in the JPz range and UKMA will be taking a good look at them once they are released.

Marukyu Product Development Director, Roy Marlow has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the JPz; "I have been involved for most of my life in fishing bait development, but this product really is sensational. Time and time again, JPz have produced fish when every other bait has failed. If there ever was a banker bait. this is it. And what's more, it's so easy to use, requires no preperation and is truely versatile"

The JPz pellets are not cheap but they are unique and a 50g tub will last most anglers a very long time. Priced at £5.99 there is a lot of hookbaits in the jar and because of the resiliance and durability, the angler will find that they are more economical as every JPz pellet is identical so there is no wastage in baits that have been over or under prepared.

SFA 440 & 441 Sanagi in powder form



This addative is bound to be a huge success this summer.

Marukyu has been involved in the development of SANAGI silkworm chrysalis baits for many years. SANAGI silkworm chrysalis is a high effective fish attractant due to its high protein content and distinctive smell. Fish are naturally attracted to high protein sources and the smell of silkworm chrysalis holds special attraction to most species.
The unique Marukyu formulae of SANAGI are highly successful for both freshwater and saltwater fishing offering exceptional attractant effect on cyprinids. Marukyu research has developed a number of SANAGI baits in response to different fishing situations. The can be used individually or as special ingredients into a bait mix. Many of Marukyu's baits include a balanced amount of SANAGI silkworm chrysalis.

Pellet deck rig explained



Presenting expander pellets on the bottom with the pellet deck rig

Pole rigs


This rig is ideal for presenting expander pellets on the bottom for carp, tench and bream. It can be used in depths of 3ft or more and when fished correctly it can tempt bites when all other pellet rigs fail.

A Use a long, body-down pole float for this style of fishing. One having a long plastic bristle is perfect as bite registration will be near instant.

B Cock the float with an olivette or bulk shot. This needs to be positioned around 12in from the hook.

C Place two dropper shot equally spaced between the olivette and the hook. Ideally they should be No10 shot that are light enough to create a gentle and natural fall of the bait through the final few inches of water.

D The hookbait should be set so that it just touches the bottom, so accurate plumbing is vital with this rig.

E The best way to tempt extra bites with this rig is to loosefeed little and often with sinking pellets, then lift and lower your rig regualrly. This gives the expander pellet plenty of movement, and the simple waft of the bait dropping down to the bottom can bring a bite when a static bait is often ignored.

Avids new HQ Bivvy






Avid specialist fishing shelter is loaded with grand designs

Telford-based carp tackle manufacturer Avid has launched one of the most innovative fishing shelters available today.

Its new HQ Bivvy has been designed around the needs of the long-stay angler.
Built from the highest grade of materials, the unique concept of using a separated frame design provides the HQ with a tremendous amount of fixed stability and allows it to utilise every spare inch of floor space. This means there’s enough room inside for even the biggest of bedchairs, in what would be considered only an average-sized shelter.

The new bivvy also boasts a fully breathable clip-in inner lining that when fitted eliminates all unwanted condensation. The inner skin is not attached to the groundsheet and can be left in place when the bivvy is packed away.

Other innovations are special fabric tensioners that allow the user to tighten the fabric at the base of each pegging point, new pegging loops that allow for easy pegging in all conditions, plus a rear mosquito panel that can be easily opened and closed from the inside.

Even the side tension bars have been fitted with three Velcro straps that allow you to securely store spare marker, spod and main rods in place.

The Avid HQ bivvy comes with its own strong carryall with unique internal compression straps and weighs in at a 22lb (not including the groundsheet).

EFG 131 from Marukyu





Well what can i say about this groundbait apart from its probably one of the best i have ever used. Its absolutly deadly on commercial waters especially when used in conjuction with Krilled maggots either in an open ended feeder or in the margins during the warmer months. It has undoubtly put more fish in my net.


Here is what the good people at Marukyu have to say about it.


EFG 131 contains 23 main ingredients and is packed with animal and fish-based proteins, plus Nori.
The bait works by attracting fish from the moment it hits the water, and it has proved itself as an exceptional all temperature bait which is especially good under cold-water conditions. It appeals to a wide range of coarse species, including all cyprinids, bream and tench.

At a glance:

* A MEDIUM PARTICLE GROUNDBAIT FULL OF OCEAN AND MARINE PROTEINS AND AMINO ACIDS.
* DEVELOPED WITH MARUKYU'S EXCLUSIVE NORI FORMULA PERFECT FOR FEEDER AND METHOD FISHING.
* MIX 2-1 AND REST FOR FIVE MINUTES NO RIDDLING REQUIRED
* MAKES PERFECT PASTE MIX 1-1
* TARGET SPECIES CARP, BREAM. TENCH. BARBEL AND F1s
* MAIN INGREDIENTS: 23
* NUTRITIONAL VALUE: LOW
* THE MEDIUM GRAINS MAKE THIS A PERFECT BAIT FOR BIGGER FISH
* BREAKDOWN SPEED VERY FAST AT 2-1

How to get the best from EFG 131
Marukyu field testers have had incredible match results with EFG 131. It is amazing at low water temperatures. Do not think that because it is a medium grain size it will quickly overfeed the fish, it will not as it is a low feed value ground bait.
A multi species bait but with the added bonus of also being species specific, no bream or tench can resist EFG 131!


UNIQUE INGREDIENTS
Marukyu products have many unique ingredients. The clever part is how these have been blended together to make exceptional baits that catch fish consistently.

NORI
EFG 131 contains Nori, which is Japanese for seaweed.
Seaweeds are marine algae which represent highly nutritious foodstuffs when they are incorporated into baits and groundbaits. They're packed with vitamins, plant sterols and trace elements, as well as Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils. The real goodies, however, are a range of natural compounds which help provide fish with anti-biotic and anti-viral protection - good for fishing and good for fish.
Field testers have had outstanding results especially with bream and tench using Marukyu baits containing our exclusive Nori formulation.

Shotting Guide













Shot come in different sizes to help you balance floats precisely, but to get the best presentation it is vital to understand the value of each shot.

Here’s a guide to the weight of each individual shot to help you load floats correctly.

LG = 3 gr

SSG = 1.6 gr

AAA = 0.8 gr

BB = 0.4 gr

No.1 = 0.3 gr

No.4 = 0.2 gr

No.6 = 0.1 gr

No.8 = 0.06 gr

No.9 = 0.05 gr

No.10 = 0.04 gr

No.12 = 0.02 gr

No.13 = 0.01 gr

And for those of you who pole fish this might be of use,

3 x 7 = 0.03 grams

4 x 7 = 0.04 grams

3 x 8 = 0.05 grams
