Mainline Baits - The Liquids

Much is written about Mainlines legendary boilies, including such greats as Grange, Activ-8 and, currently, Cell which have dominated waters for many years. However, browse the Essex-based company’s website and you will see that there is so much more to the Mainline range than just boilies. One area where there is a huge selection of bait-boosting products is liquids.

I’ve found Mainline’s to be among the best-quality hemp oils and I use it in a variety of ways, including injected into solid PVA bags just prior to casting. It also makes a great winter glug because if doesn’t congeal in cold water like many other oils. In warmer conditions, Fosoil makes an exceptional additive to all manner of baits and will create a huge slick when used a boilie or pellet soak. Multi-slim and Meta-Mino are both extremely versatile and can be used as a stand-alone liquids or added to boilie mixes offer baits an extra dimension. One tip that Mainline gives on it’s website is to combine Multi-Stim with one of the dedicated flavours to form an exceptional winter boilie dip. I remember doing exactly that a few winters ago when first using Cell and it worked brilliantly with Mainline’s Milky Toffee flavour.

One group of liquids that has proven hugely successful is the Particle & Pellet Syrup family. There PVA-friendly liquids come in 500ml bottles with squirty lids and are designed to be added to literally any bait. The potential is almost limitless with them, the only boundary being your imagination. My favourites are the Tiger Nut and Condensed Coconut Milk versions, but I also love the Activ-8 Bait syrup which, even if you do not use Activ-8 bait, makes a superbly attractive addition to boilies and pellets.
