Hook Baits

Designed to replicate Manilla Active Boilies, these Manilla Active Wafters are made using a perfectly balanced wafter 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. Manilla Active hookbaits are specifically designed to work all year round and can release their coating with ease, even in the depths of winter. They are formulated to negate the weight of the hook and rig, a sure-fire way of fooling even the wariest of carp.

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.

As a result of our uncompromising stance on bait quality, our baits are on the soft side, due to reduced boiling times and quality ingredients. As a result of this, if you are fishing somewhere with lots of nuisance fish, crayfish or birds then the Tuff Ones are the ideal choice of hookbait for you. Manilla Tuff Ones are designed to match your freebies perfectly but provide ample protection and ensure you are always fishing confidently. Despite their super-tough nature, they contain the same liquids and powdered attractants as our bottom baits. If you want to, you can also customise these hookbaits with the addition of liquids or even powders from our Pure Naturals range to make sure your hookbait stands out over your baited area.

Designed to replicate our Manilla 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 Manilla Bait Spray as well as items in our Pure Naturals range.

Often copied; never bettered! Our original Bloodworm range is heralded as the best of its kind and it still works just as well today as it did many years ago. Designed to replicate our Bloodworm boilies, the Bloodworm 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. The Bloodworm Dumbells make an ideal alternative hookbait for fishing over the Bloodworm Active Mix and Bloodworm 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.

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.

Designed to replicate our Krill boilies, these dumbell-shaped 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 dumbell shape wafters are ideal for use alongside pellets or fished over a mix of chopped baits and small food items. Anglers can customise these hookbaits if they so wish by using The Krill Bait Spray as well as items in our Pure Naturals range.

The Krill Active was formed in 2014, as a means to increase the attraction of the humble boilie during Sticky’s annual jaunts to Lac de St Cassien. It was kept under wraps for many years, with batches being rolled in secret until it was perfected and released as a product in 2020. Following its incredible impact over standard baits, we are delighted to introduce the new Krill Active Shelf Life, which undergoes the same processes as the freezer version. Utilising special machinery, liquids are pumped into the bait, which is then combined with powders to create a durable, yet super soluble and attractive paste wrap. Once submerged in water, this outer coating breaks down slowly, releasing levels of attraction that far surpass that of a standard boilie. Thanks to our use of pure liquids, with high natural salt content, our Krill Active Shelf Life boilies are as close to fresh as we can possibly make them, with minimal preservatives, while still retaining their useability and ease of storage with no need to freeze. They are the biggest step forward in off-the-shelf bait for decades! Our Active baits have out fished standard boilies on every instance, due to their abundance of ammino acids which create a natural feeding trigger for carp!

Mulbz are based on an all-time classic flavour combination, accountable for singling out some of the UK’s largest carp. These pastel coloured hookbaits are ideal for wary carp and offer a perfect blend of both instant and prolonged attraction thanks to a unique blend of liquid flavours and powdered fruit palatants. The 16mms are ideal for the ultra-popular Chod rig. These super buoyant hookbaits will stay popped up for days.

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 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 Pop-Ups are super buoyant and will stay up for days even when pierced. The small 12mm hookbaits are ideal for Zigs or Snowmen, while the slightly larger 14mm hookbaits are ideal for the Ronnie rig. The largest baits in the range, the 16mm size, are ideal for Chod rigs and Stiff Hinges.
