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 Sonubaits front man Ian Day visited TC Towers recently, we were intrigued by samples of a new project that he’s been working hard on. The new Salty Nut Crush range of baits provoked instant curiosity among the team and this is a relatively rare occurrence because we see so many new products, especially in terms of supposedly new bait concepts. Ian has managed to create a completely unique profile to the range of baits that bear the Salty Nut Crush name. This is mainly due to the exclusive peanut flour that has been sourced.
