Andrew Allen runs Mansfield Angling Ltd which is one of our valued Quest Baits Stockists. He started using the Chubby Chops himself and has had great success with them culminating in a 5 hour match win at the prolific Makin’s venue near Coventry, just before Xmas.

A total of 90 anglers in teams of three took part and his team won with two of his team having the top weights, both fishing only on Chubby Chops. Andrew took 13 carp for over 129 lb in weight himself, he reckons it is  the colour that works best in winter.

Sorry – no fish picture but don’t be fooled by the name of the bait. Since its release Ron Key has had some great Barbel sport on it and the carp certainly have a liking for it as well as the Chub for which it was originally developed.

If you’re looking for something a little different to the norm’ a different shape, taste and smell then look no further.

Cheese flavoured baits go back a long way in my own fishing. It took me a lot of years to catch my first 20lb common (pictured) but when it eventually came during a session on Gosfield lake in Essex it fell for a bait using exactly the same attractors as we have put in the Chubby Chops.

This picture is from 25 years ago so you can see that although Chubby Chops is relatively new in our range it still has a very long history. I have always like cheese type flavours in carp baits and although the word cheese isn’t mentioned a great deal N-Butyric Acid is. Need I say more?

Best fishes – Shaun Harrison

I have just returned home from my first ever BCAC qualifying event at Cuttle Mill Fishery, near Tamworth. What a roller coaster of emotions I have gone through over the past 48 hours.

We arrived at the venue on Thursday evening for a bit of a social and a look around the lake. We managed to spot plenty of fish during this walk around, with carp bubbling and crashing in several areas. A large proportion of the fish seemed to be in an area between swims known as the Pads and Nevilles. Normally this would not be a popular choice as you are in a corner and penned in somewhat by other swims around this part of the lake.
