Enterprise Tackle Washed Out range

March 16, 2016 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

Boilies £2.85
Popup corn £1.99

Soaking your boilies in lake water to drain them of colour, then adding flavour, is a popular tactic among carpers. The theory is that pressured carp can associate fresh, bright baits with imminent danger and lurking anglers, but they let their guard down around seemingly older offerings.

Enterprise Tackle has tapped into this trait with a range of fake sweetcorn and boilies with more muted colours. The buoyant sweetcorn versions look particular good, while the 15mm boilies will be useful to anglers who fish among crayfish and other nuisance species. Each plastic boilie also has a small recess for putty or a split shot to enable it to be critically balanced.

Radical Pillow Boilie baits

February 12, 2016 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

£8.95

These new Pillow Boilie baits from Radical may well give you an edge on pressured waters when conventional spherical baits fail.

In seven vibrant colours, and aromas including the new Tiger Nuts flavour, the pillow-shaped baits are said to hold bottom better in flowing water, something river carp anglers will really appreciate.

Tronix HTO Soft Lures

December 2, 2015 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

£1.99 per pack

Cutting edge Mace, Flail, Excalibur, Leethal, Tiny, Bug-Ga and Paddle Bug patterns offer a number of rigging options for various fish species.

Designed for UK anglers, by UK anglers, the Mace pattern’s thin tail section came about as a direct result of watching perch ‘inhale’ lures rather than bite at them. It simply folds up when a fish sucks the lure in.

September 25, 2015 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

£4.75

This pillar box red Dynamite Baits Robin Red Groundbait in 900g resealable bags is an ideal accompaniment to Dynamite’s popular Robin Red Pellets.

The spicy recipe, originally created by birdfood merchant Haith’s, is especially good when targeting carp, tench and barbel. It has a fine texture and is very easy to mix by adding water little and often. It can be used with Method and open-end feeders, or be added to spod and PVA stick mixes.

Nashbait has launched three new pellet mixes, as well as boilie pellet hookbaits and liquids.

Micro Mix is a blend of 0.5mm-2mm pellets perfect for filling PVA bags and sticks. It would also be ideal as a dampened-down Method feeder pellet mix.

August 20, 2015 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

£4.99

The company owned by England Feeder team gold medal winner Phil Ringer has added Liquid Betaine to its range of additives.

The natural stimulant is a proven fish-catcher and can be added to just about any bait.

The water-soluble solution is also an ideal ‘pep’ when expanders are being prepared with a pellet pump.

Fox Rage Spiky Shad Lures

July 22, 2015 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

£5.99 for a pack of three. A 90cm version is sold seperately for 60p.

The Spikey Shad from Fox Rage is now available in a smaller version, perfect for anglers wanting to scale down to tempt predators.

The hundreds of tiny spikes around its body generate micro-vibrations in the water, attracting the attention of anything with teeth.

They also act like a parachute, slowing the lure’s descent so it stays in front of a predator for longer.

The spoon tail adds to its vibration and movement.

As the lure has a soft, natural feel, when a predator grabs it they don’t immediately try and spit it out, giving you vital extra seconds to set the hook.

Spikey Shads come pre-loaded on to a quality jighead in two weights (10g and 15g) and 10 hot shades.

Westin lures

July 22, 2015 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

£17.70

The hunter becomes the hunted thanks to these wickedly flexible lifelike lures produced by Scandinavian predator specialist Westin.

Percy the Perch, Mike the Pike and Tommy the Trout have a seductive swimming action that attracts big predators from far and wide.

Up close, the fluttering fins are more than instinct can stand, and the predators can’t help but strike!

These may seem alien to the tiny lures used for catching perch on canals, but these lead-free imitations have already been tested in the UK and caught plenty of fish.

Underwater footage of the lures in action can be viewed on YouTube – search for Underwaterireland. They are available from www.pecheur.com

Z-Man lures

July 9, 2015 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

£4.49

These new Z-Man lures from the US are becoming popular here in the UK thanks to their fish-catching qualities, as lure fishing ace Paul Parnell showed when he used them to land a dozen 3lb-plus perch from Pitsford Reservoir.

The lures are made from Elaztech and are said to be 10 times tougher than normal plastic, so they won’t be destroyed by numerous pike attacks.

All are suited to jigging or drop shotting. Jigheads for the lures,and a smear-on Predator Gel, are also available.

Bait-Tech Poloni Boilies

June 25, 2015 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

Boilies (14mm/18mm)
£10 per kilo

Pop-Ups (14mm/18mm)
£4.99 per pot

After two years of develpment these Bait-Tech Poloni Boilies look destined for greatness. Their meaty flavour and nutritional make-up mean that carp will eat them all year round.

Carefully crafted, balanced food ingredients are high in protein but easily digestible.

Natural spices and herbs give the bait a distinctive aroma and taste. It’s also been laced with essential amino acids.

In field trials Poloni Boilies and the matching coloured and flavoured pop-ups accounted for some staggering catches of big carp.

Enterprise Replica Lupin Beans

June 18, 2015 Bauer Xcel

PAY AROUND

£2.30

These days fake baits are no longer considered new, and thousands of day-ticket carp probably get to see imitation grains of sweetcorn every day – but these Enterprise replica lupin beans might just offer them something completely different.

Whether they differ enough in appearance from large plastic sweetcorn and maize baits is open to debate, but these almost kidney-shaped particles, in two sizes and flavours, could just make a difference on hard-fished waters.
