Bait

Martin Locke’s Solar Tackle has been producing top-quality bait for many years. In fact, the company celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2012 and its most notable products are undoubtedly the hook baits. There have been some absolute classics through the years, including Winter Secret, Club Mix, Bunspice & Aniseed and many more. In recent years, the Jacko Pops, Dairy Cream & Fresh Pineapple, Top Banana and Quench have proven hugely successful and, even more recently, some newer varieties have entered the range.

Having seen the need for a highly nutritious shelf-life bait that involved no need for a freezer, the Code Red offers both the fresh, high-quality ingredients of a freezer bait, mixed with the instant attraction and hassle-free use that a shelf life is so renowned for. As soon as the baits hit the water they are pumping out attraction. Whether it be from the high-quality pre-digested fishmeals in the base mix, or the liquid liver that has provided attraction and flavour to the bait, Code Red works on so many levels. Unlike traditional shelf-life boilies, which can be rock hard, these are easily breakable by hand, with particular attention being made to preventing breakage when baiting up with a throwing stick.
