Hi Richard,
I have air dried both shelf life baits and fresh frozen for re-hydration purposes. Originally I only ever used to use fresh frozen baits so all of my early experiments were with these. I did prefer to freeze them down first though before starting to air dry them as this speeds the process of air drying. (more…)
Ian Hillier:
Hi my question is, let me give you some background. All of my winter captures have come on plastic sweetcorn (no slur on your baitShaun ha ha) and I read a back article from your site about plasticbaits and how they take on flavour. Are these the type of boilie that enterprise tackle sell the ones you sell on your site? If so will they take on the flavours of glug you sell? Any tips you can give.I want to fish the top 18 inches of the water during the afternoons before I start surface fishing in the evenings.
Many thanks Ian

Hi Ian,
The plasticboilies we sell are the same ones as the Enterprise Tackle ones. I have used these on and off since they were very first released and have now caught many fish on them. When we started quest Baits I wanted to offer everything I use myself - not just small selected items - thus the artificialbaits being included in the range. (more…)

I was just wondering if you could give me some advice?? I am planning a session in July at a complex I have never fished before called white springs lake in Swansea, do you know it? ……
…..This is what I know about the lake,
its a 10 acre lake averaging 6-9ft in depth with a few areas going to 14ft deep and one area 17ft in depth.
its has 9 islands with an average depth of 3ft surrounding water, with nearby shelves at each island
its has a large head of carp, some over 40lb, several over 30lb and numerous 20s
The margins are around 3ft deep and seem to be productive during warmer months
There are a few groups of large lily pads in the lake
What approach/approaches would you think about taking if you were going to fish this venue?
what methods would you consider best to use and what baits would you take with you?(more…)
