Sticky Baits

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 complement the boilie range, Manilla Pellets undergo a two-stage coating process which ensures they are constantly leaking attraction into the water column. Utilising a significant amount of peanut protein, as well as high levels of soluble milk proteins the pellets release small particles up from the lakebed drawing fish in from above. Use as part of a spod mix, or on their own, with no limit to their use. By using liquid attractants along with the pellets, you can use them with method feeders with ease. What fish could resist a bed of pellets pulsing out attraction?

The Bait Spray range has been designed as an alternative attractor to supplement the liquids already in each range. Although we swear by our Liquid Food and Glug ranges, they aren’t ideal for soaking hookbaits for prolonged periods of time, as their dense nature can dramatically affect the buoyancy of a pop-up or wafter and render your rig mechanics useless. Bait Sprays are a much lighter alternative, that easily absorb into your chosen hookbait, yet still pack the same punch as their thicker counterparts – simply grab a tub of hookbaits and give them a couple of sprays to seriously boost their attraction!

Produced in a stunning bespoke pink colour, the Krill Pink Ones are ideal for grabbing the carp’s attention without being too blatant! 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, 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.

No bait range would be complete without a classic yellow Pineapple & N’Butyric hookbait range! Pineapple pop-ups have been around for decades and are highly regarded as one of the best carp catchers of all time. The secret behind their success lies within the combination of the esters in the pineapple flavouring and the N’Butyric acid itself. The combination causes a pH shift in the water, due to their highly soluble nature, this means they are instantly attractive to any passing carp. Even in the lowest of water temperatures, these hookbaits are like a beacon of attraction. Pineapple & N’Butyric 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 larger 16mm hookbaits are ideal for the Ronnie rig as well as Chod and Hinge rigs.

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 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.

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.
