Hi Jack, Our Quest Baitsshelf life boilies are made from identical ingredients to the freshfrozen, the only difference being the type of egg used and the dryingprocess.
These days I rarely use freshfrozenbaits myself. Knowing what goes into our Quest Baits range I have no problems at all with the shelf life baits as we don’t use any of those bitter/sweet nasty preservatives that many other companies use and what has ended up giving shelf life baits a bad name.

Since I am fishing for carp I never seem to use a lot of pop-ups. Its just not my
way of presenting a bait. …Well, Up to now!!.. Things started when I was discussing using pop-ups on a local meeting with another angler. He told me he was catching plenty on pop-ups on a local venue…where I had never used them
I fished that lake a lot and it got me thinking about it.I wanted to use the pop-ups in a different way, I remembered a article I had seen in some book..It was an article about presenting pop-ups on the bottom, making the presentation even better and more detectable for feeding fish.. I searched the sheds for the book and after I found it I had a look again at that article. It would be perfect for my style of fishing and maybe could boosted up my catch rates.. Its suits every possible rig, and very easy to make.. You don’t have to tie new rigs and can change from bottom to pop-up presentation in a second. (more…)

Hi justin,
Thanks for your kind words regarding the answer to your previous question.. Well my session was a very good one weight wise,but the numbers of fish was low..
I had 7 takes resulting in 5 fish landed 2 of those where small commons..17 and 18 lb. The mirrors where slightly bigger.. ☺ 40,7 lb…45,7 lb and ☺ whopping 57 lb..( new p.b) (more…)
A lot of people ask me how I got into carpfishing, how long I’ve been fishing, why do you seem to catch carp on a regular basis?
Where do I start?
Well it was five years ago when I met my partner, he had just come back from working at Dream Lakes in France, and never stopped talking about it. I finally gave in and said I would go fishing with him to see what all the hype was about, but we lived in the lakes (Cumbria) where there was not many carp around so I went on a 3 day trip down to Suffolk with him where he let me use one of his rods. I had a couple of smaller fish out that trip and much to my own amazement I was hooked. That year I went on my first French trip to Abbey lakes, where I landed my first 30lb carp. What a week fishing and sun bathing a perfect combination if you ask me.
That week I saw my first Mercedes bait boat, yes you heard me right!
