We now have the Sticky Baits Bloodworm Range in stock now and it has been doing really well for some of our customers. The Sticky Baits Bloodworm Boilies  contain both low temperature and soluble fishmeals, plenty of fresh bloodworm, blood plasma as well as a specially imported. To raise the attractor profile Robin Red and Paprika are also included at the optimal level. We have the bloodworm boilies in both Freezer and shelf life. To compliment the boilies we have the Sticky Baits Bloodworm Pop Ups and Sticky Baits Bloodworm Dumbells. For those of you that use sticks the Bloodworm Bag & Stick Mix contains much higher levels of the soluble ingredients than can be used in the boilies themselves resulting in really high levels of attraction around your hookbait. To increase that attraction even further soak your hookbaits in the Bloodworm Bait Glug which contains a potent fish protein extract, Paprika oleoresin and not forgetting hydrolised bloodworm. The Bloodworm Bait Glug is really thick and Sticky!  If you are using the dumbells or boilie bottom baits, the Bloodworm Paste, which also contains higher levels of the soluble ingredients than the boilies, will boost your hookbaits attraction even further. It could also be a great stalking hookbait in its own right. Finally we have the Sticky Baits Bloodworm Pellets which are one of the best selling specialist pellet of all time. The bloodworm content has been increased and the Hydrolysed Bloodworm Compound has now been added making this pellet even more potent.

Ok here’s one for you concerning carp vision. There’s been a lot written in the magazines recently about red mainline like TFG Red Mist  and the fact that red is the first colour in the colour spectrum to disappear under water. Now apparently this only happens at depths of 8 metres plus, but anglers are still using it even at shallower depths in an attempt to fool wary carp. My dilemma is this, one of the carps favourite natural foods is bloodworm which are blood red. So do the carp see the bloodworm? or do they smell them out? If the colour red disappears at depth then surely the bloodworm will be invisible! Another anomaly is the use of red maggots, most of the carp anglers that come into the shop for maggots order reds. The reasoning for this is that they believe red maggots immitate bloodworm, a lot of the magazines also subscribe to this notion. My own experience is that reds outfish white maggots. So what can carp see?
