POPUPS
Bullsh** aside, we are lucky enough to have a few ingredients exclusive to us that make these something very special. Our hookbaits are packed with highly attractive food signals and complex blends of feeding triggers that won't be found elsewhere.
BLACK BUCHU'S
There probably isn't anything that we can say here that will do these justice! These are made with our incredible blackcurrant and buchu flavour that we unfortunately had to stop selling due to supply issues with VERY high-grade buchu EO (beware of the many inferior buchu products available). The amount of people that have begged us to bring back the flavour has been incredible, many of which say that it is the best flavour they have ever used.
The good news is that we have secured a small amount of the highest quality buchu available to combine with our blackcurrant to make these hookbaits. We can't wait to see the catch reports roll in!
Colour- blackcurrant purple
Smell- blackcurrant with a creamy sweet backnote
WARLOCK'S
We take our Wizard flavour and blend it with a very potent squid extract, hydrolysates, organic acids, and some magic to create this unstoppable force of a hookbait. They also contain the most potent attractor we have ever used that stands head and shoulders above all else (please don't ask us to reveal what this is).
Colour- light brown.
Smell- a distinctive fishy kind of smell like no other!
TREE FRUIT MK2
The Tree Fruits are back!These caught so many fish when we first released them and now with new discoveries available to us, we just had to update them! Made with high-grade manuka honey as well as several new cutting-edge ingredients, we expect them to become absolutely legendry in the future. Great for use as a single or a highly attractive bait over a bed of feed.
Colour- orange
Smell- strong mixed fruits with sweet, creamy back notes
POLAR FRUITS
Our hugely respected Polar Fruit flavour mixed with some other goodies make up these mouth-watering hookbaits. These are particularly good in colder water temps but also work well as a high-attract bait for all year round use, especially as a single hookbait.
Colour- white
Smell- mouthwatering fruity heaven!
FLAVOURS
FLAVOUR/ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS THAT ARE 100% EXCLUSIVE TO US.
ALL FLAVOURS WILL BE AVAILABLE LONG-TERM!
The mission was simple- create the very best fish flavour possible.
It has been a long time coming, but we've cracked it! I'm hugely excited about this one.
As always, Sam has put his own slant on things and added some spices and TMA to give this fishy flavour a unique profile that seems to really switch the carp on.
If you want to get on a future classic, this is the one for you...
Remember the iconic flavour combo of strawberry and ice cream?
That combo was a firm favourite of many "old school" bait enthusiasts and for very good reason- it was a phenomenal carp catcher! Well, this is our version of it.
I don't want to sound pushy, but I don't think you will find as high a quality strawberry flavour anywhere else on the market. Not even close. Quote me on it. And it's EA based to boot!
It does have high levels of essential oils in it, so be sure to give it a good shake to awaken the goodness before using!
Strange by name, strange by nature!
This is a very interesting blend of components that you won't quite be able to put your finger on!
Heavily based on sweet orange essential oil, it has a mix of citrus and meat aromas that give the finished bait a very interesting profile.
Excellent at "repelling" silt and strong lake odours.
If you like to be different- this one's for you!
The most proven cold water flavour ever produced is mixed with a high-grade bespoke fruit flavour to create the extremely effective Polar Fruit. This isn't just for winter though, Pete has used this combo (but with a lower grade fruit component) all year round for 8 years and swears by it no matter the water temperature. With our high-grade flavours replacing Pete's previous ones, it has taken the combo to new heights!
Supplied in an amber glass bottle to retain quality. E.A base. 50ml.
Heard how effective esters can be but don't have a clue how to use them? Enter Ester Ace...
Ester Ace is a blend of esters and other compounds at optimal levels which will give an ester kick to any bait. Simply add it to whichever flavours you already use at the time of mixing and you will have created another dimension of attraction to your bait. This will compliment all flavours- fishy, fruity, spicy etc.
Supplied in an amber glass bottle to retain quality. 50ml.
A real old-school cream on an EA base- this one is sure to make a lot of people happy!
Our Cornish Cream is an absolute carp magnet in the colder months. Goes beautifully with bird food/milk type mixes. This is a great flavour to add a rounded back note to both fruity and fishy flavours.
Supplied in an amber glass bottle to retain quality. E.A base. 50ml.
A heavenly blend of our Cornish Cream E.A, oil-based strawberry, and a hideously expensive bergamot essential oil make this an absolute mouth-watering flavour! Sam designed this to have a very long attraction life no matter the water temperature. Another one of our flavours that is sure to shake up the industry, this is the first EA-based and an oil-based flavour mixed in one bottle. Sure to be a firm favourite with the old school anglers out there- if you know, you know!
Supplied in an amber glass bottle to retain quality. Mixed base. 50ml.
A lovely bun-spice flavour with buttery notes. EA base.
If you like a bun-spice flavour that gets stand-out results all year round, then this one's for you! The blend of spices alone make for a great flavour, but when we add the butter aspect and essential oils it takes it to another dimension that will enhance any bait.
Supplied in an amber glass bottle to retain quality. EA base. 50ml.
Warm spices infused with citrus goodness.
A complex citrus blend with a hefty kick of the best spices makes this flavour something very unique! The blend of 3 citrus fruits is balanced perfectly before we add numerous essential oils of the finest quality. The result is something very unique and highly attractive to carp.
Supplied in an amber glass bottle to retain quality. EA base. 50ml.
Creamy butter notes with a slight spike of pepper.
A truly superb flavour that keeps on producing results where others can't. Hosting a wealth of goodies such as lactones, butyrate, eugenol, piperine, esters, and some other feed stimulators, this flavour is absolutely mouthwatering for both anglers and carp alike.
Supplied in an amber glass bottle to retain quality. PG base. 50ml.
