When asked if I could review these syrups it was a no-brainer. After all, I’ve been using them since the first ones were launched several years ago. These days the New Grange is the one that’s used most in my carp fishing because I use that variety of boilies a lot and the addition of the syrup to particles, and even pellets, helps me create a total baiting attack. The syrups are packed with attractors and improve the profile of any particle mix.

There are only one or two members of the TC staff who have been involved with the magazine long enough to remember when Frank Warwick first brought Enterprise’s imitation sweetcorn to our attentions. At the time, although largely taken for granted today, it was revolutionary and anglers were gobsmacked at how effective it was. Our editor, Marc Coulson, caught his very first 20-pounder on two grains of yellow corn way back in his early career on this magazine. Nowadays there is a plethora of imitation baits available, and not just the corn either.
