Pop-up rigs have sprung up in popularity over the last few years, igniting a need for extremely buoyant yet highly attractive pop-up hook baits.
Well how about 12mm hook baits that offer enough buoyancy without a cork ball insight? Sounds interesting right?
The new range from Blakes Baits is exactly that. It’s available in a wide array of flavours, including Fruit Poptail, Pukka Pear – which is one of my favourites – Aniseed Dream and Nut-Mix Scopex & Peach, to name but a few.
Designed for use with chod rigs, stiff hinged presentations, multi rigs and more, they have been tested and proven to hold a size 4 hook up for eight days, at which point the team were satisfied and called it a day.
Following on from the popularity of the Cell, Mainline has answered back with the all-encompassing Essential Cell.
Not to be thought of as a fishmeal or bird food, this is highly nutritional bait incorporating a mix of crucial dietary ingredients and food sources that carp find much easier to process and convert into energy. However, we understand that it can often take a lot to change from boilies that you have confidence in, so why not try one of the accompanying products, such as the Stick Mix Liquid.
The PVA-friendly formula incorporates the highly visual yellow colouring with a mouth-wateringly good fruity aroma.
Check it out!By the time you read this, one of the most eagerly awaited bait launches of all time will have taken place.
Hopefully, your magazine even has a sample pack attached to it – if not, then speak to the shop where you bought it – and you can see and smell it for yourself.
Anglers the country over have been waiting for this for ages. Even we’ve had to wait in line, such has been the demand.

we love these!
After so many years taking delivery of new baits, it can become a little bit uninspiring sometimes. However, this month I’ve had two baits land in the office that have each stopped me in my tracks. One is this Catalyst from the very much up and coming Spotted Fin.
The moment I opened the box I caught the delicious aroma and this drew me to inspect it further.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, one of the most famous bait companies of all is causing a bit of stir as it makes a big comeback in the UK.
As well as the established and hugely successful favourites, such as Trigga and Big Fish Mix, there are a host of top-quality ingredients, proprietary products and hooks baits.
These alternative hook baits are well rolled and bright in appearance, and are available in a host of flavours. They’re barrel shaped to add a bit of variety and extremely buoyant, with a nod to the modern trend for chod-rig fishing.

Mainline isn’t a company that releases baits willy-nilly.
Research and development is at the forefront of all the new bait launches, ensuring that when it brings a new range to the market it is the best it can be and instantly gives you the confidence required to use it without any worry. The Essential Cell builds on the undisputable success that’s synonymous with the original Cell and the famous and very popular aroma of the pungent, fruity Essential IB. Expanding on the existing knowledge of a bait that works, the team at Mainline felt that the Essential Cell cannot be described solely as a protein, fishmeal or bird-food-based bait.
Brand new for 2016, this is all you need to get those surface gulping carp on the feed and hopefully get a few sulking in the bottom of your net.
Containing 2kg of uniform-sized mixers, they have been pre-treated with an oily attractant to help you gain that all-important oily slick over the water’s surface. The uniform size allows them to be easily and accurately fed by either catapult or, if you want to go that little further, a Spomb or spod. As well as the free offerings, there is also a pot of boosted ready-to-go hair-rig hook baits.
