  • No mess
  • Once opened can be used another day
  • Activates the swim
  • Keeps fish interested and near your baited area
  • Falls through water slowly and doesn’t spook fish
  • Expands up to three times its weight and volume
  • Leaves an enticing carpet of active feed

FISHINGmagic VERDICT

First time out with these, using the Vanilla Cream flavour, I won my local club match. Okay, maybe I would have won the match without them, but this totally new method of groundbait enabled me to do it quickly and without mess, and I could accurately groundbait a more distant swim with the catapult.

It was interesting to see the activity of the groundbait showing at the surface within just a few seconds of the bait hitting bottom in a 5ft deep swim.

Great to keep a tin handy and good to know that you can try a little groundbait at any time. And no need to carry a mixing bowl.

One word of warning, don’t knock the tin about too much, especially a part-used tin, or the balls break up.
