Mainline Baits is the biggest name in carp bait, a position it has proudly held since it was established in 1990. The Essex based brand has become synonymous with carp capture worldwide, and consistently produces the highest quality carp bait on the market. The company has a simple aim – to help you, the angler, catch more, whilst at the same time providing the carp with the food they need to grow and thrive. Dynamite Baits, SonuBaits, and Bait-Tech all offer excellent products in the groundbait department. Taken in conjunction with this are the distinctive colours of the flavourings - all of which are extremely eye-catching for the fish. Add this to the great taste they’re giving off into the water, and you’ll understand why the fish can’t help themselves when it comes to this bait. The hookbait’s natural buoyancy also comes into its own here, with the prolonged longevity of its time off the bed meaning that it has got plenty of time for a huge catch to spot it.

A: Absolutely! The Mainline Essential Cell Shelf Life Fishing Boilies can be effectively used with a hair rig, allowing for secure and efficient bait presentation.

There are lots of different ways of presenting Wafter hookbaits, and you can place them on a hair-rig, bayonet, or within a bait band. The very best situations to use them is when you’re trying to select quality fish as little silvers tend to leave them alone! Try using different flavours and colours, and swap between them to keep fish coming.” A Hair rigged bayonet is another good way to present a wafter Wafters are 8mm in size Tip from the top! Pellets have a high oil content and are seen as one of the most attractive forms of baiting in the summer months. They are high in protein, which will keep the carp feeding for hours once they’ve started and are comparatively cheap when compared to other forms of bait – which is ideal for ‘little and often’ styles of freebie feeding. They are also one of the most versatile forms of baiting. You can mix a bulk of fishing pellets into a groundbait mix, use them compressed into a feeder, or rigged as part of your hook bait setup. As with all the baits we’ve discussed, pellets come in a huge range of flavours too, although most of the pellets tend to be on the ultra-meaty and fishy flavoured side of things, rather than sweeter. Trust in Mainline: With three decades of research and development, Mainline consistently delivers better bait through research. The ‘Washed Out’ appearance of the Pastel Barrel Wafters is the first noticeable characteristic within this hookbait range - perfect for targeting wary or the pressured carp commonly found in today’s fisheries. Yet this light colour tone does not reflect the high attract nature of the hookbait containing high quality liquid flavours, enhancers and sweeteners used at optimum levels. Couple these visual and flavour stimulants with the barrel-like shape and poised, critical-balance of the wafter and you have an advanced hookbait that fish find difficult to resist or reject! The NEW Mainline range of Pastel Barrel Wafters epitomize the combination of subtlety and performance to deliver a hookbait capable of providing a superior fishing presentation without complication. Simply thread the hookbait onto your chosen Hair rig and allow the weight of your hook to set the slow sinking Wafter into a ‘critically-balanced’ position...The Mainline Essential Cell Boilies come in a convenient 1kg bag, providing ample bait for your angling adventures. To further enhance your baiting strategy, a full range of complementary products is available, including Essential Cell Pop-Ups, Wafters, Groundbait, Additives, Pellets, and Particles. These supplementary baits work synergistically with the Essential Cell Boilies to create a truly irresistible combination for carp. Loans available to permanent UK residents aged 18 and over. Subject to status. Eligibility and conditions apply. Boilies are primarily used in one of two ways, although by crushing and cutting them they can be included in groundbait mixes to further increase their versatility – more on that later. The first way that you will see boilies being used are on the bank as freebie baits. These are loose baits that are not attached to your hook and they serve to draw the carp into your swim and get them grubbing (consuming food from the bed of your venue) for your bait. The second way you’ll see boilies are used on the bank it as hook baits themselves. Hook baits are literally the bait that you attach to your rig and it is only by consuming one of these baits that your carp will (hopefully) be hooked. There are many ways to present your bait, depending on the rig you use and the method you use to attach it to your hook and boilies offer a huge versatility in this department thanks to their slow breakdown rate.
