Winter 2009/10

Winter 2009/2010

Well, Winter is under way now, and the fishing is getting tougher! We are not deterred however.

Blacksilver Baits has a great range of groundbaits that suit the colder temperatures and slower feeding patterns of coarse fish during the winter and early spring season.

Black Magik groundbait works well in winter for silver fish like roach, skimmers and crucian carp, as in the warmer summer months, but if the fishing gets really tough our Black Magik Fine Groundbait offers a finer groundbait blend with much less feed content. All the attraction but no feed!

Canal Black groundbait is also a low feed groundbait ideal for colder and harder to fish venues where little feed is required but where a black cloud can help to pull in the fish.

Big Carp Winter Groundbait is a low protein Carp Groundbait, designed for colder water where again feed content is kept to a minimum, but where carp attraction is key to bring those few feeding fish to your hook bait. Ideal as an accompaniment to winter boilies and winter paste or pellet fishing.

Of course we have a selection of plain crumb groundbaits, and seed baits. Don't forget that Hemp is a great all year round hook and feed bait!

And finally we have molasses meal which can be used as an attractant and groundbait additive whatever the temperature of the water. As its sugar based it still dissolves even in near freezing waters!

Canal Black Groundbait

Well it's been a while since we have had the time to post anything new on here.

It's time for an update of the busy summer and autumn.

Firstly we'd like to show you a couple of nice perch from the Grand Union Canal at South Wigston in Leicester.

Both caught on single red maggot over a bed of our excellent Canal Black Groundbait.

Not much was biting on the day, except a couple of very small roach. A few canal boats had gone by and opened the locks below our swims killing the sport. Just as we had decided to pack up for the day Stu cast to the far bank next to an old gnarled hawthorn bush overhanging the cut. His float dipped and he had the first of the two pictured Perch. Encouraged we put off packing up for half an hour and then his float dipped again for the second, and bigger, perch. Very nice for a slow day.

Black Magik 2009

NEW FOR 2009

A brand new blend for 2009.

We wish we had discovered the recipe years ago as it is outstanding on the majority of waters and for most fish. Our personal bests were smashed on our local silver fish water in the autumn when testing this groundbait. In a 7 hour session we recorded two bags of mixed carp, crucians, tench, bream , roach and rudd to weigh in at 45lb and 60lb. On a water that usual catches are in the 30 to 40lb mark.

Blended with a new vision in mind, we set out to really push the intensity of flavour so that you need very little loose feed or free offerings when using BLACK MAGIK. Small regular feeding with half golf ball sized balls, mixed straight from the bag, will have your swim fizzing in a fish feeding frenzy.

Very easy to mix, requiring only a little water and a quick riddle, Black Magic is a fluffy active mix.

The smell when you open the bag is mind blowing. No wonder the fish do not stand a chance!

Blacksilver Standard Groundbaits

The new year ahead looks uncertain for many. Despite us having loads of orders for bait coming in, we’re taking nothing for granted. Far from sitting on our laurels wondering what will happen to us as the credit crunch enters 2009, we’ve been working hard to ensure we cover all bases. Thanks to having several new bait options, such as boilies, soft hooker pellets and more groundbaits in development, I believe we’re in a far less risky position than some. Without a doubt, I think it also helps having enough experience to maintain a high quality fishing bait product to offer to our fellow anglers.

So to our new bait venture; Blacksilver Baits Standard Bait range, a value for money range of groundbaits designed to sit somewhere between the Simply Crumb range and our Premium Groundbait ranges. Using the same ingredients as used in some of our other groundbaits, such as those found in the Big Bream and Big Carp baits, we can offer a cost-efficient groundbait range that is still able to provide a good quality product that attracts the fish in when it matters.

The Standard Groundbait range is available in the following four types:

Canal
River
Lake
Brasem
