lurcherman 887 13,234 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Whats everyone using? Essential cell and sticky seem to being doing well recently, bottom baits or pop ups lads. What you prefer Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 45,777 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Always done ok with mainline fishing lakes,last season I started using seven baits? Lamprey and ambush flavour dumbbell/bollies...barbel seem to enjoy them.tried sticky baits didn't really rate them if im honest-most my hook baits are glugged so that may give me the edge.don't use any pop ups unless fishing for carp.atb dc Quote Link to post
Flacko 1,747 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Meat or Halibut with hemp flavoured up doing ok for these ways . Quote Link to post
neil r 1,861 Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 For carp I've been doing well on mainline cell as feed with sonubaits Ian Russell Indian spice pop ups fished over it . On the river sonubaits code red and mainline hybrid have been the best . Every now and then I'll try something else like sticky's Manila and krill or impulse baits northern mere but always end up back with mainline fairly quickly. Anyone use activ-8 , I'm thinking of trying it on one rod but it's a bait I've never used before and I'm not sure it's the same as it used to be from what I've heard Quote Link to post
lurcherman 887 13,234 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Ive done a bit of messing about and nine times out of ten its the essential cell thats picks one up .. mainline are clearly a carps fave ! Quote Link to post
GeorgeH 5 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I used to do ok on Richworth KG-1 and also Essential Baits B5, but that was a few years back, wouldn't know if they were still any good now or even if they still make them! Quote Link to post
