Hook Baits

The Krill Boilies are tailored to perfectly suit the carp’s dietary requirements leaving them actively hunting out the bait as an ideal food source. Not only does the inclusion of Krill add to the nutritional profile of the bait, it is also highly regarded in the aquaculture industry as one of the greatest natural “flavours” and stimulates fish into a feeding frenzy. This devastating boilie comprises of a staggering twenty-five different ingredients including a couple of little gems to which we attribute the bait’s immeasurable success. As much as we love the open and honest approach… we’ve got to have the odd little secret! Our shelf life baits are all as close to the freezer bait versions as possible, with the only difference being the addition of a natural preservative. This opens the bait up for use across Europe and ensures people who are unable to store freezer baits can still use our range of baits.

This all-year-round range utilises a peanut protein exclusively available to us and never before used within the bait industry. If you have ever used peanuts before, we’re sure you’ll be aware of just how addictive carp find them, however due to the high fat content it has previously only been possible to use them in small quantities – not any more! This revolutionary ingredient has been partially defatted leaving an end product that carp not only find irresistible but also ticks all the right nutritional boxes. As with all of our baits, the secret to Manilla lies within more than one ingredient, so the rest of the mix is made up of a complex combination of blended milk proteins and bird foods with an exceptional track record.

These hookbaits are far removed from classic hookbaits of old, which contained very little in the way of soluble attraction. Our exclusively sourced squid hydrolysate, a potent squid and octopus flavouring, and a multitude of powdered ingredients set Signature Squids apart from other the hookbaits on the market. Traditionally fluoro hookbaits have always been a very simple product, a bit of nice flavouring and a simple base mix. We have taken this concept many steps into the future with the Signature Squids. By adding different levels of attraction from soluble fish proteins to fishy flavoured palatants. Each one adds a new dimension to these incredibly attractive hookbaits. As we know every day is different in angling, we have produced the Signature Squids with the ultimate in versatility. Each tub contains three dull, yet visual coloured hookbaits; pink, yellow and white. We have purposefully dulled the colour down with these hookbaits to make them stand out in a more subtle way than a traditional, in your face, fluoro. Signature Squid Wafters are perfectly designed to sink slowly under the weight of your hook, a presentation which can fool even the wariest of carp.

Designed to replicate The Krill Active Boilies, these Krill Active Wafters are made using the same base mix, with a highly soluble, Active paste wrap. For these hookbaits to work perfectly, the coating itself contains an element of buoyancy to help maintain a perfect presentation throughout the breakdown process. As the super-soluble coating breaks down, it slowly settles into a halo of attraction on the lakebed surrounding the wafter at the inner core. With over twenty ingredients used in the coating alone, these baits act like a homing beacon for any passing carp. These round hookbaits are designed to negate the weight of the hook and the rig, a sure-fire way to fool even the wariest of carp.

Our Premium Select pellets are unique feed pellets whose enticement goes beyond carp and catfish and are therefore available in many sizes to suit almost any type of fishing. Also, Premium Select can be fed as standalone feed pellets or added to ground bait. To increase attraction, the pellets can be offered in a feeder or PVA bags close to your bait.

Our Active range has been a huge success, and as such demand for new products within it has never been higher. We worked tirelessly to craft a method of creating a pop-up hookbait that matches our Active boilies perfectly, whilst still offering the necessary buoyancy to ensure your rigs are fishing effectively. After several years, we have finally created the ultimate Active Pop-Up! Manilla Active Pop-Ups feature a fluffy, light outer-coating, which has a neutral buoyancy. This means your pop-ups can be counterbalanced perfectly prior to casting out and you can rest assured your hookbait is sitting perfectly for days if necessary! Once submersed the outer coating breaks away and flutters slowly down to the lakebed, surrounding your hookbait in a halo of attraction, which perfectly matches our Manilla Active boilies. These hookbaits are suitable for heavy duty presentations, such as Chod or Hinge rigs, but can also be used on more delicate rigs too, such as the Ronnie or Multi rig. It’s time to take your pop-up game to the next level!

Manilla Active Shelf Life uses the same process as all our Active boilies, which involves a two-stage coating made up of super soluble liquids along with fine, high-grade powders. The result is a paste layer, which surrounds each bait in a cocoon of attraction, once submerged, this breaks away, leaving a cloudy halo around each bait. Just like the freezer bait counterpart, Manilla Active Shelf Life is specifically designed to release its attractor package even in the coldest water temperatures, meaning the outer coating will break away incredibly quickly even in the winter months. This attribute is why it’s such a brilliant instant bait despite the limiting factors that cold water carp fishing entails. Sweet, nutty and incredibly digestible, Manilla Active Shelf Life uses the same formula of milk proteins and refined nut proteins used in the freezer bait but with the addition of the smallest amount of preservative we can. Our Active Shelf Life range uses natural salts found in the hydrolysates used in the coating process to preserve them without reducing their effectiveness or their ‘active’ nature. With this in mind, Manilla Active Shelf Life has a slightly shorter use by date, compared to that of standard Manilla Shelf Life. Our Active boilies are the biggest step forward in off the shelf bait in decades and are sure to give you an edge.

Designed to replicate Manilla Active Boilies, these toughened bottom baits have been made using the same base-mix as the normal bottom baits, but with the inclusion of extra binders. This creates a much tougher alternative to using the freebies on the hair yet maintains that all important match the hatch appearance. Each hookbait is coated in a super soluble paste wrap, which is designed to match the freezer baits perfectly. Once submerged, the coating breaks down into a halo of attraction around the ultra-tough hookbait at the core, even in the coldest of water temperatures.

Designed to replicate our Manilla boilies, Manilla Dumbells are made using the same base-mix, only with added soluble attractors. As an added bonus, each dumbell is encapsulated in an extra soluble coating to maximise their leakage and attraction. Manilla Dumbells make an ideal alternative hookbait for fishing over the Manilla Active Mix and Manilla Pellets. As well as this, they are a superb choice for stalking and short sessions as the fast-acting coating maximises the instant attraction of these hookbaits.

Bait customisation used to be a huge part of everyone’s angling and our Hookbait Kits are designed to bring this forgotten art back to life and help you make your own customised hookbaits! Containing the same basemix and liquid package you will find in our range of bottom baits, with the added bonus of a natural toughening agent, this mix can be used to make anything from bottom baits to cork-ball pop-ups. If you want to customise your baits even further than just the size and shape of them, you can add anything from our Pure Naturals range to our Hookbait Kits. Each pot of Pure Naturals includes guidelines for their usage, so even if you are new to rolling your own hookbaits you should have no problems. Each Manilla Hookbait Kit is supplied in a 400g tub with matching liquids.
