When 5kg of freezer bait arrived in the office, it wasn’t long before the receptionist had sent me a barrage of e-mails asking me to remove the ‘stinky bait’. As you can imagine, I eagerly wanted to see what the culprit was. Having experienced the pulling power of the shelf-life variety, I was impressed to see the quality of the bait and the receptionist was right, a rich powerful fishy aroma just engulfs you as soon as you open the bag. Utilising a low-temperature fishmeal, this bait screams big carp.

Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: A sticky additive that can be applied to a hook bait or PVA bag to create a continuous plume of attraction, Lava is denser than water, which means it stays around your baited area seeping across the lake bed, attracting attention where it matters most – your hook bait. Within minutes it starts to break down, triggering a rich scent and attractive colour. On zigs it will stream off, creating a cloudy column, giving attraction at many levels. Once the liquid reaches the bottom it will stay there until it is disturbed and then create yet another cloud of attraction.

It’s clear to see the rise in popularity for Krill-based products that harness the natural attraction and high protein levels that these tiny crustaceans offer. It boasts several nutritional benefits, including omega-3, amino acids and astaxanthin – a natural anti-oxidant that is an ingredient that should not to be overlooked. Although hard to harness these beneficial elements, the dedicated team at CC Moore has done all the hard work for you. Introducing the new and very exciting Krill Micromass, you can immediately unlock the potential and boost the attraction of your baiting strategy.

I first had a play around with this early last year and immediately saw where the name comes from – it begins to release tiny items of attractive bait up into the water column literally as soon as it touches down on the lake bed. As with all Sticky’s stuff, it’s made only with quality ingredients – no corner cutting or bulking out with cheap agents here. In fact, Sticky makes a good point on the website in that because there are no bulking agents, you can, if money is a bit tight, safely bulk it out yourself with crumb or similar to make it go further. Ideal for use in stick mixes, it can also be added to spod mixes and PVA bags – only your imagination will restrict its uses in actual fact.

Available in small or large tins and larger pouches, there is a quantity to accommodate your style of fishing, whether you fish small day sessions or longer campaigns.

Using top-class grade A ingredients to start and prepared in-house, these oily, crunchy little morsels are perfect for getting the carp to feed, and once they get on it they won’t leave until it has all been mopped up.
