One of the aims of the "A" bait was to always provide bait that was as fresh as possible and to constantly rotate the products and I am sure that by going bigger some of this may be lost. I have recently had the opportunity to do some serious tank testing and when I say tank I am talking about one of the bigest fresh water aquariums in the UK. Some of the results were suprising and other absolutely staggering. As you will know I have always believed in quality bait ingredients and the HNV theory but it is harder to get an edge with these baits than it has ever been. The reason being that most people are using really good quality baits and the fish are getting it all the time. I believe the key to it is giving the fish a signal that they really respond to and I have found quite a few new things, some quite by accident. I have also proved that a few of the existing products on the market are either not as good as we thought or just part of them is useful!
The "A" Bait powders came through the test particularly well porooving to be an attractor on their oen and very good at ejecting other liquids faster than normal mixes. I have mentioned in the newsletter email to 1jayrider@googlemail.com to join about bringing out a soluble paste containing some special attractors that will not stand up to boiling. I will have to put this on hold for the time being as I do not have the room or the budget but it will be a big feature of next years fishing for me. The baits for the Brentwood show are nearly all finalised now and the final one will be the red bull flavour on a purple bait, this is a really nice version now it is finished and smells even closer when extra citric is added, it also works!
That is about it for this year for the blog so I hope you all have a great holiday season and hope to see as many people as possible at the Brentwood show at the end of January.
Tight lines
