If you were watching Korda's Masterclass 5 closely, you'll have glimpsed something a little bit special, and heard comments on its performance, crafting, and results from leading professional anglers Darren Peck and Neil Spooner.
If you're a social media squirrel, you'll likely have skipped across mentions of a dynamic new offering on Mainline Baits' Twitter and Facebook pages, with classy, close-angle shots of something rich, dark, and tempting.
If you're a regular with Angling Direct, you'll know that one of our leading bait brands, guaranteed to fly off the shelves, is Mainline Baits, and you might have wondered whether we're ever going to reveal exactly what it is that's been hinted at. What is it? Why would you want it? Where can you get it? When can you expect to be heading down the bank?
Rumours are the currency of angling, but we all want those rumours to coalesce into certainties. So... what's the truth behind the Mainline rumours of a brand new bait that's blasting everything out of the water?
Frozen Bait
Before we answer those questions, let's talk frozen. No, not the Disney film with sparkly princesses, and not the Arctic tundra, either. We're talking frozen baits, and all the high-attraction quality that bleeds out into the water column as they warm up in the water, drawing fish to your swim from right across the venue.
Freezer fresh boilies pair perfectly with Mainline's range of Hookbait Enhancement System dips, which can be mixed and matched for ultimate taste and flavour, and an attraction signature that's unique to you and your angling. Freezer fresh boilies also pair well with any of Mainline's pop up range, allowing you to create a complex network of attraction that will ensure you've got a wealth of interest, drawing different species and different sizes of fish into your swim all day long.
Active Ingredients
Mainline Baits have a reputation for boilies that come loaded with top quality attractors, flavour enhancers, and tasty liquid food that will give the fish in your swim plenty to get excited about, ensuring they want to stay in your swim, and become relaxed and confident enough to pick up your hookbait.
When you're creating top-quality freezer baits, speed is of the essence. You need to lock in that fresh, tasty flavour, and ensure it's ready to flow through the water column on your venue, with no loss of scent, taste, or flavour, ensuring that fish will take notice, and get caught up in feeding, relaxing into the rhythm of picking up bait without caution.
What's On Offer Already?
Fishing bait has moved on from the days of a lump of corned beef, some bread, and a bit of sweetcorn. From pellets to particles, there's a wealth of texture, taste, and flavour on the market, including some very human tastes, such as banoffee, and chilli, as well as the more classically fishy, such as squid, hemp, and red krill. At Angling Direct, we stock the full range of offerings from Mainline Baits, a brand that performs over and over again, on almost any venue and species, bringing up carp from the low twenties to the mid-forties with fairly consistent regularity, and giving anglers a quality bait they can rely on, and that's well worth the money.
If you want to create a complex network of bait offerings and attraction, you can do it all with one name when you choose to use Mainline Baits, a brand that packs a hefty baiting punch, and gives you everything you need for session success on carp, specimen fish, and more.
So, What's The Missing Link?
The missing link – the ultimate bait, which blends attraction, food, freshness, instant, visible appeal, and full compatibility with other bait types from the Mainline range is exactly that – The Link, a brand new offering from Mainline Baits that's had some immense results during its extensive testing period, where anglers such as Neil Spooner and Darren Peck have taken The Link freezer fresh boilies out to play on a range of venues.
