Chubby Chops
Designed primarily for Chub, Chubby Chops are very quickly digested, yellow in colour and contain a real smooth pleasant tasting cheese powder combined with a smelly cheese attractant amongst other things. The only problem we’ve experienced with Chubby Chops so far – the Carp & Barbel love them too!

Barbel Chops
Pellet shaped boilies which are equally as effective for carp as they are for barbel, chub and tench. The background attractor system used has been responsible for some great barbel captures from a very wide range of rivers. Always very instant without the need to wean the fish onto them. Available shelf-life or fresh/frozen.

The Reviewer says –
In truth, this review is l-o-n-g overdue, I’ve had the baits since last November. I was hoping to give them a really good try on the river, but you’ll remember the winter we’ve had and for most of it our river has been unfishable or just plain out of sorts.
Even as we start the new season in the summer, the heat is not the most conducive to catching chub or barbel although I have had a couple of each, the chub on maggot and a tiny 18s hook, but the barbel (my new PB) did come in on a Chubby Chops (perhaps it can’t read the label?)
I did, however, use both baits extensively during the close season fishing for carp (and hopefully tench that didn’t play either) and catches on both baits proved very promising. I am more than pleased with both baits although I will say that the Barbel Chops seem to have dried a little faster than I would have liked, but since I have been banding them this matters little. The smell is still there to attract the fish.
What is nice is the paste. This can be moulded around a poly-ball attached hair-rig style, or on top of a small piece of crust that can be used to counterbalance the bait. (I shouldn’t have given that tip away, it wasn’t mine and was top secret. Tsk-tsk!)
One of our FM members, Frothey, also gave me the tip to wet your hands before moulding the paste as this makes the job much easier, and he is right! He also added that you can add some egg white to it and make you own shaped boilies, this I have still to try.
The pastes do work with the carp at least, but I will still have to wait until the chub and barbel really come on in the river to try them out there.
All-in-all, I thoroughly recommend you giving them a go, there’s not many other manufacturers that I know of offering a cheese based pellet/boily designed for catching chub.
