Sticky Baits The Krill Wafters 16mm
KW16
The Krill Wafters
Designed to replicate our Krill boilies, these 16mm hookbaits sink slowly under the weight of your hook.
By using a semi-buoyant bait, your rig becomes even easier for a carp to suck in and become hooked. The 16mm round wafters are ideal for use as a single hookbait or fished over a large spread of matching round bottom baits.
Anglers can customise these hookbaits if they so wish by using The Krill Bait Spray as well as items in our Pure Naturals range.
Supplied in 130g tubs.

DYNAMITE HEMP & SNAILS CAN - 700G

Freshwater snails make up a large part of a carp’s diet so it made total sense to develop a bait that harnessed all the natural oils found in our Frenzied Hempseed and add freshwater snails as a carrier for the attractors. Using the same process that we use to cook the hemp in the tins, our Hemp and Snails are as natural as they can be with absolutely no preservatives added. Available in 2 sizes 4mm and 14mm these snails make for a fantastic hook-bait option either as singles or two or three on a hair.

ESP PVA Mesh Kit 20mm
ETPVAM020
ESP PVA Mesh Kit, PVA mesh used for bait distribution initially took the carp fishing world by storm but it has since been adapted for all angling styles and disciplines. This PVA Mesh Kit from ESP is the perfect tool, not only for bait distribution but it is also the perfect size refill for most small diameter dynamite stick sticks, too. This PVA mesh is superior quality, as you will have come to expect from an ESP product. With ultra-fine thread, ESP’s PVA mesh offers a controlled meltdown for expert bait distribution. One of the biggest benefits of this PVA is that is leaves no solvent residue behind. The strong anti-ladder construction can hold even the finest of baits and you’re able to achieve incredibly small knots. This means that no matter your bait preferences, you’re able to create a mesh bag that suits your needs. With 6 metres of product, this is an excellent economic pack that will keep you going, season on season. There are three different sizes of the EVA PVA Mesh Kit available. The smallest two sizes are 20mm and 25mm in diameter respectively. These are both perfect for the angler who likes to target with dynamite sticks, as they enable you to create a long and thin bait sack. The larger size is 32mm in diameter, which is ideal for creating larger, looser, and more rounded bags of bait. All three sizes come with a durable polymer bait tube, which has been designed with a flared top. This makes filling your PVA mesh significantly easier and it ensures that you don’t have to battle with fiddly terminal tackle whilst you’re trying to set up your gear. The two smaller sizes come supplied with a plunger, to help pack in the bait. It has a rubber handle, for ease of grip, and is graded in 25mm divisions. This ensures that you’re able to produce uniform packages of bait, anywhere up to 15cm (approximately 6 inches) in length. The larger 32mm size comes with a flexible moulded funnel, rather than a plunger. This is because you do not want these balls of bait to be so compacted. The funnel fits neatly over the top of the bait tube and it can be removed to allow for convenient storage. ESP was founded in 1999 on the back of a comment made by pro-angler Terry Hearn. Hearn asserted that he must have a sixth sense – or extra sensory perception – because he was always catching the big fish that other anglers struggled to track down. The name began s a joke, but like the best jokes it stuck and ESP was born. Terminal tackle has always been ESP’s speciality, and this PVA mesh bag represents just one of the top end terminal tackle solutions the brand offers. The brand also manufactures top end carp rods, each with Terry Hearn’s seal of approval, as well as big pit carp reels, luggage, and other bankside accessories. If you’re looking for high quality carp fishing tackle then ESP’s range is the perfect place to begin.

Korda Goo Corn Twist Bait Smoke
KGOO05
Goo Phase One
This was the phase that launched the Goo onto an eager carp world. It contains some Goos that have become absolute classic bait enhancers already! Here's a rundown!
PINEAPPLE SUPREME
This is one of the most popular and effective Goos. It's perfect as a hook bait glaze - especially when dried on and reapplied. Keep rolling, coating, rolling, coating and drying. Each layer will give you increased leakage time. Use the Supreme version to cut into the core of the bait and the Power Smoke to coat the outside of the bait, to give you that bonbon effect.
PINEAPPLE POWER SMOKE
The Pineapple Power Smoke is brilliant when applied directly to PVA sticks. If you’re fishing a runs water and you want to get some attraction into the water quickly then coating sticks works well. You can use it on zigs. The South Africans actually dry this stuff onto their zig foam.
TUTTI POWER SMOKE
Much of the things that apply to the Pineapple Power Smoke also apply to the Tutti one will do too. The major differences would be things like pH. The Pineapple Power is acidic and has a real impact on various waters. It's PVA friendly most of the year, but always remember to shake the bottle well to distribute the ingredients evenly. It's best during the warmer months, when the weather gets up to 15 or 16 degrees, so spring and summer really.
CO TWIST
This is an extremely natural, extremely sweet, yet subtle Goo. It’s classified as a Bait Smoke but doesn’t have the intensity of colour of some of the others. It’s not just restricted to use with hook baits, you can add it to ground baits, watered down, roll mixers in it or even glaze freebies with it. It lends itself brilliantly to zig spod mixes, it can be used in combinations on hook baits but I really do like to use it on my loose feed. Don't put a whole bottle in, add a little bit and make a nice soupy syrup with some water in a bucket and add that to your particle mixture, or glaze your boilies with it, really enhancing what you’re doing, compared to the guy next door.
PERFECT PEACH
This one first burst onto the scene when Pete Holehouse used it to win the UK Carp Champs. He used it solely in his spod mix when spodding over zigs and he found that he actually spodded less and kept the fish there for longer than he ever had when spodding over zigs. He was fishing face-to-face with another angler and was putting out half the amount of spods and catching more fish. You can add it to water to get it into the spod mix, or add it straight onto your particles.
RASPBERRY PLUME
This thick Goo has become famed for its use with floaters. All you need to do is dilute a small amount of Plume in a bucket and coat your floating pellets or mixers. When they soak it up, you'll be left with a super-attractive bait. Add it to your hemp or your chopped boilies and you’re adding another dimension of taste. If you’re struggling to get fish feeding, then try the Raspberry Plume.

Korda QC Swivel
KQCS
These clever swivels have been designed to make chod-rig fishing even easier. They feature a rounded crook rather than a conventional eye, into which you can clip a looped chod.
To create the loop, you can either tie an overhand loop or crimp a loop into the end. These loops can then be 'clicked' into the loop and won't come out unless you want to change a rig.
The swivels are PTFE coated, which prevents light glinting off, potentially spooking feeding carp.
Supplied in packs of 8.
From £3.75
Korda Super Wrap - Medium
SW22
Super Wrap has been designed by Team Korda to help prevent crayfish and nuisance species damaging or stealing your hook baits. To use, simply slide your hook bait into the desired length of Super Wrap tube and shrink it down over a steaming kettle..
£5.20
Korda Unwaxed Bait Floss
KBFU
This unwaxed Bait Floss is ideal when tying hard baits lasso style to a Micro Ring Swivel or Rig Ring. The unwaxed coating enables the knot to be tightened down fully, making it less likely to slip when making multiple casts or using heavy leads.
£4.75
Mainline Spod & PVA Pellet Mix
SPVA2KG
he Spod & PVA Pellet Mix is a unique pellet blend that has been formulated to provide a complex blend of attractors. The several mixed sizes of pellet used vary in oil content and so offer different breakdown times...
Meaning a feed of these pellets begins to release attraction and induce a feeding response as soon as it hits the water, but then maintains this attraction signal for long periods. With the varied pellet sizes going down to a ‘micro’ size, fans of solid PVA bag tactics will simply love this mix. As this type of mixed pellet sizes means unwanted pockets of air are excluded and the bag can be formed tightly for a compact finish that improves casting distance and accuracy.
