Groundbaits

When commercial master Andy Bennett joined the Mainline Match team at the start of the year, he was very keen to create his own personal commercial groundbait mix for pole and feeder fishing, and that is where the Bagga Mix originated! The groundbait is crafted from a blend of different pellets that have diverse fishmeal and oil contents to give it the fishmeal and pellet smell. When you look closely you can see the multiple shades and speckles of various pellets in this groundbait.

With groundbaits now making serious inroads into all forms of carp fishing we have developed a range of groundbaits to suit all situations. Far more than just an attractor, these groundbaits contain high quality food ingredients and will sustain rather just stimulate a feeding response. They can be used for carpet feed, Method fishing or carriers for particles and pellets and as an added extra for Stick mixes.

This makes for a more coarse mix, perfect for fishing the margins and method feeders in particular, keeping fishes head down feeding in your swim.

Designed for river Barbel and used by all of our specialist consultants, it is a blend of crushed Hemp and Halibut pellets that have been coarsely ground together to create a mix perfect for the cage feeder, mesh feeder, river feeder or balling in.

Thatchers groundbait gained a cult following over the last 20 years as being the go to groundbait for many anglers, originally only available through the Thatchers shop. This finely ground and sieved pellet based groundbait has extra fishmeal added and a small amount of breadcrumb for texture and is perfect for commercials.

This clever little addition is best used by shaking some Lava Rocks out into the base of a Method Mould, a little goes a long way so a thin layer is fine. Then put some groundbait or softened 2mm pellets in the Method Mould, then place your hookbait in and add more groundbait or pellets. Firmly press the Method Feeder into the Method Mould and when you release the method feeder the Lava Rocks will be on the top of the feeder. This means that when your Method Feeder has landed the Lava Rocks cause a big cloud of attraction on top of the feeder enticing fish to feed.

Developed by some of the best anglers in the UK and Europe for targeting commercial fisheries. These premium groundbaits are all fine in texture, bind well so they are ideal for a method feeder and are also perfect for the pole.

Part of the massively successful F1 range, F1 Dark is the perfect mix to use either on its own or to darken down other groundbaits.

Super Carp Method Mix was one of Sonubaits first groundbaits which has stood the test of time and is still as popular today. It was designed for specimen carp fishing when using the Method feeder, it is a heavy, sticky mix that is full of pellets, fishmeal maize and hemp which has been crushed together to create a groundbait which contains some larger feed particles which help the mix break up to create a food rich feeding zone, perfect for carp.

Designed to complement our famous Bloodworm Boilies, but an awesome mix to use for bags, sticks, groundbait and spod mixes with any of our baits. Within are high levels of the matching base mix, along with a boosted level of soluble ingredients, which results in a far faster release of attractors than a boiled bait could ever achieve. When submerged in water, the Bloodworm Active Mix really comes to life releasing small food particles that will rise through the water column, drawing fish in and giving them that extra encouragement to feed whilst keeping food items to a minimum.

A specially designed recipe combining a unique combination of additives, flavours and attractors Three mixes available – two sweet mixes for natural venues and one fishmeal which is ideal for commercial fisheries Original and Red mixes are made using sweet biscuit crumb, and the Fishmeal Bream is a high feed mix to attract and hold large shoals of bream

Designed for river Barbel and used by all of Sonu Baits specialist consultants, it is a blend of crushed Hemp and Halibut pellets that have been coarsely ground together to create a mix perfect for the cage feeder, mesh feeder, river feeder or balling in. It also creates a great base for a PVA Stick Mix or a sloppy spod mix. When using through a feeder it can be mixed to create quite a sticky mix so it can be used even in flood conditions and the bigger particle size helps the groundbait break up and release from the feeder. The ground Hemp produces a very light oil which is released immediately, even in cold temperatures giving instant attraction and the heavier fish oils in Halibut pellets are released at a slower rate and keeps pumping out of the pellets as the water flows over them so drawing fish to the feeder for a prolonged period of time. The variation in the size of particles means that fish pick up the trail as the smaller bits get moved downstream creating a trail to the bigger bits which stay around the feeder.
