Product Review: Glug, Dip, Pop-Up, Hookbait Combination Set

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Quest tube combination setA nifty idea from the Quest Baits boys. A clear plastic tube containing four separate pots which can be used for carrying glugs, dips or an assortment of different hook baits.
The problem with most of the glug pots I’ve used in the past is that they are prone to leaking.

Hi Jez
Firstly I’d say check out the latest over on the Angling Lines site as they are bookingn agents for this venue in northern . I shot the video at the venue last year when the guys really bagged up catches a stack of fish to over 40lb. We stayed on for a couple of days and my son had fish to 36lb too.
The lake contains around 175 fish from mid doubles to upper forties, nearly sixty fish to mid thirties were stocked this winter. There is a majority of commons, hence the name of the lake but there are some nice mirrors too plus surgeon and a few . (more…)

Hi Justin,
First of all a big compliment on your choice. I would describe Laroussi as one of to premier big fish waters at the moment, lovely big fish and a very friendly owner. I have fished Laroussi on 2 occasions. First trip was in July 2006 and the second trip was last year in May. I am booked on there again this year from 24-31 May. That’s says enough about how I rate this venue. (more…)

Reader’s Query: Method Mix

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Hi
Recently came across your website and really like it and will be looking to use some of your baits this year. Can you give me some more details about your Quest Method Mix in terms of what it consists of and what it smells of. Any other on its use would be great too.
Cheers
Paul

Shaun Harrison replies:

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your query, the Quest Baits Method mix is a very complex mixture full of various ingredients nuts, seeds etc and can be cut to make it go further or used neat. It binds together very well and can take up to 40% pellet when you mix it up. Take a look at this short video clip below I filmed recently where I explain a little about this very versatile Quest Method Mix.
