Bait

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.

THE TACKLE BOX’S LEE JACKSON SAYS: Spotted Fin is relatively new to the world of carp baits, and in the short time that it’s been around, its Catalyst range of boilies, pop-ups, wafters and pellets and suchlike have brought about excellent results wherever they have been used. Is it any wonder then that they enlisted the help of carp fishing legend Frank Warwick, whose expertise around a high-attract pop-up is second to none? The range comprises 12mm and 15mm pop-ups plus booster sprays to match and comes in five flavour combinations – Fruit Zing, Caramel Cream, Miracle Berry, Masala Spice and Classic Corn. Whether fished over a bed of free offerings, a single hook bait fished in isolation or used to tip off a bottom bait on a snowman rig or suchlike, these pop-ups give the ability to attract and catch carp on practically any water that they are used. LEE JACKSON’s VERDICT “Frank knows his stuff so worth a try for sure” 7/10 £4.

Adapted from the match scene, this fishy flavoured range is based on one of the greatest carp attractors around - betaine!
