Description

If you are a fan of fishing bottom baits and go out of your way to make sure nothing stands out as being different, these will be the one for you. As with any good quality fresh bait it tends to be softer than some, which is a good thing. However fishing one strait out of the bag may mean you don’t feel comfortable leaving it out in the lake for a lengthy period of time, also you may need to be concourse of small fish nibbling away at your hook baits and of course cray fish etc.These will solve that problem as they are hardened hook baits with a difference, that difference being a touch of buoyancy!Whilst over buoyant hook baits fished in this situation may stand out and potentially hinder your chances, equally having no buoyancy could also stand out because your hook bait is attached to a rig which in tern adds extra weight and therefore behaves differently. The principle behind this method of fishing is to give no clues so when fishing for tricky old carp that have seen it all before, nothing stands out as “that one is different”These hook baits carry just enough buoyancy to utilise the weight of a rig, meaning your hook baits will respond to movement on the lake bed in the same way as the free offerings you feed will. Combining the practical factors of hardened hook baits along with the correct amount of buoyancy, plus at the same time matching the MnM for colour - flavour - food signals and overall appearance we have created the closest possible “match the hatch” on the deck hook bait to use when targeting the trickiest of carp.If this approach is your style of angling, then these hook bait will be confidence in a pot for you.

Field Notes

Use these hardened, slightly buoyant hookbaits when fishing bottom baits for wary carp that are suspicious of anything that looks or behaves differently. The built-in buoyancy helps the hookbait respond to rig movement on the lake bed similarly to the free offerings, while the hardened build resists small fish nibbling and crayfish damage.

Pros

  • Hardened for better durability versus small fish and crayfish
  • Slight buoyancy helps the hookbait behave more like free offerings
  • Designed for a close “match the hatch” presentation (color/flavor/food signals)

Cons

  • Not intended to be overly buoyant (too much buoyancy could stand out)
  • Requires correct rig setup to take advantage of the buoyancy behavior
