Hook Baits

The original and best Shelf Life Bloodworm-based bait on the market today. Our Bloodworm range is often copied but never bettered! The unique blend of real Bloodworm along with traditional fishmeal-based ingredients make our Bloodworm boilies one of the best and most attractive in our range. Although Bloodworm is a fishmeal-based bait, the combination of LT94, milk proteins, soluble fish proteins, crustacean extracts, blood plasma and Robin Red make it suitable for year-round use. The mix contains fast and slow release energy sources, as well as vitamins and minerals to make sure it is as good for the fish as possible. The finished bait is subtle in smell, yet highly attractive, and sports a deep, rich red colour. 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.

Our Signature range started off life as a bespoke attractor package that was kept under wraps for many years. Thankfully, having sourced the incredibly complex ingredients in bulk they are available to all! Signatures are very unique and incredibly well thought out. One of the most attractive signals to a carp is a change of pH, and, thanks to the blend of ten liquids and two powdered palatants, Signatures react with water to create a highly detectable pH shift. This may sound very scientific, but it is the main reason why these hookbaits are so successful. For your convenience, we have crammed the beautifully fruity flavour combination into three different coloured hookbaits in each tub. Inside, you will find washed out yellow and pink alongside a striking white, giving you three different options. As a finishing touch, each individual hookbait is coated in a specially formulated amino acid blend after the cooking process, to ensure every single hookbait pulses out attraction consistently. Signature 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.

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!

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.

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.

As the name suggests, Manilla White Ones Wafters are striking white hookbaits that offer you a great visual edge when fished as a single or over large beds of bait. As well as the fluoro colour, these little beauties also have boosted attractor levels to really help them stand out and steal you extra pick-ups. They are completely needle friendly and are ideal for use with D-rigs, Ronnie rigs and the popular German rig. Whatever rig you use, these special hookbaits will sink slowly, perfectly counteracting the weight of your hook and rig for a delicate approach.

These bespoke mustard-toned hookbaits are designed to subtly stand out over your freebies. Equally, they can be used as a single hookbait when a super bright hookbait might be a little over the top. They are completely needle friendly, even in the smaller 12mm size, which are ideal for subtle presentations such as Zigs or Snowmen. The larger, 16mm hookbaits, are more suited to Chod or Hinge rigs as well as the ever-popular Ronnie/Spinner rig.

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