Pop-up rigs have sprung up in popularity over the last few years, igniting a need for extremely buoyant yet highly attractive pop-up hook baits. Well how about 12mm hook baits that offer enough buoyancy without a cork ball insight? Sounds interesting right? The new range from Blakes Baits is exactly that. It’s available in a wide array of flavours, including Fruit Poptail, Pukka Pear – which is one of my favourites – Aniseed Dream and Nut-Mix Scopex & Peach, to name but a few. Designed for use with chod rigs, stiff hinged presentations, multi rigs and more, they have been tested and proven to hold a size 4 hook up for eight days, at which point the team were satisfied and called it a day.

Highly attractive oil-based additive Seamlessly complements the Nutcracker range Recommended dosage of 20ml per kg of boilies Supplied in a 500ml bottle £9. 95 WWW. URBANBAIT. CO.

Following on from the popularity of the Cell, Mainline has answered back with the all-encompassing Essential Cell. Not to be thought of as a fishmeal or bird food, this is highly nutritional bait incorporating a mix of crucial dietary ingredients and food sources that carp find much easier to process and convert into energy. However, we understand that it can often take a lot to change from boilies that you have confidence in, so why not try one of the accompanying products, such as the Stick Mix Liquid. The PVA-friendly formula incorporates the highly visual yellow colouring with a mouth-wateringly good fruity aroma.
