Winter bait is very important. With fishmeal-based boilies often containing high levels of fish oil, bird-food-based baits are much more digestible and during the winter months the carp will still eat plenty of a good-quality bait. The Berkley Gulp! range of boilie offers many flavours for all times of year but our particular favourite, the Coco and Banana, would make an excellent winter bait. Made from natural ingredients, the sweet coconut aroma mixed with the banana flavour is sure to catch plenty of carp.

Chapmans boss, Mark Wilkinson explained: “One of the advantages of being one of the bigger retailers in the business is that we have considerable buying power – and when DD baits announced that they were wanting to clear all its stock we jumped at the chance of taking it off there hands.
