Bait

If there is one word that has taken the bait scene by storm in the last two years its krill. Leading on from the popularity of both the freezer and shelf-life varieties of boilies, Sticky is not a company known for resting on its laurels and has since produced a product that we are sure will strike it big in the carp market. Utilising the undisputable and downright irresistible pulling power of the humble little aquatic critter, the krill, Sticky has conjured up what can only be described as one of the most universal ready to go baits ever. With a moist pellet-like texture, this high oil mix can be effortlessly moulded around feeders or leads straight from the bag, as well as more traditional methods such as adding to PVA bags, mesh sticks, spod mixes or introduced as loose feed.

Over the last season Sticky Krill has been one of the baits that everyone has been talking about, but we understand that not everyone can afford to bait up regularly with a boilie and spend a fortune to try and help achieve maximum results. For this reason alone, we decided to take three products from the existing Krill range that we not only have faith in but you can use to your advantage time and time again without breaking the bank. Several of us in the office swear by the Krill Wafters as one of the best solid-PVA-bag hook baits ever. The extra buoyancy aids in hooking and their pulling power is unquestionable.

By no stretch of the imagination am I a big boilie angler, due to cost, not through choice, I hasten to add. To give these a fair test I thought I would use them in my normal situations over beds of particles. However, I also wanted to give single hook baits a go because this is a method that I rarely use. The first thing I noticed was the sheer amount that you get in a pot; serious value for money.
