Hook Baits

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.

Designed to replicate our Manilla boilies, Manilla Dumbells are made using the same base-mix, only with added soluble attractors. As an added bonus, each dumbell is encapsulated in an extra soluble coating to maximise their leakage and attraction. Manilla Dumbells make an ideal alternative hookbait for fishing over the Manilla Active Mix and Manilla Pellets. As well as this, they are a superb choice for stalking and short sessions as the fast-acting coating maximises the instant attraction of these hookbaits.

As a result of our uncompromising stance on bait quality, our baits are on the soft side, due to reduced boiling times and quality ingredients. As a result of this, if you are fishing somewhere with lots of nuisance fish, crayfish or birds then the Tuff Ones are the ideal choice of hookbait for you. Manilla Tuff Ones are designed to match your freebies perfectly but provide ample protection and ensure you are always fishing confidently. Despite their super-tough nature, they contain the same liquids and powdered attractants as our bottom baits. If you want to, you can also customise these hookbaits with the addition of liquids or even powders from our Pure Naturals range to make sure your hookbait stands out over your baited area.

Designed to replicate our Manilla boilies, these 16mm 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 16mm round wafters are ideal for use as a single hookbait or fished over a large spread of matching, round bottom baits. Anglers can customise these hookbaits if they so wish by using Manilla Bait Spray as well as items in our Pure Naturals range.

Often copied; never bettered! Our original Bloodworm range is heralded as the best of its kind and it still works just as well today as it did many years ago. Designed to replicate our Bloodworm boilies, the Bloodworm Dumbells are made using the same base-mix, only with added soluble attractors. As an added bonus, each dumbell is encapsulated in an extra soluble coating to maximise their leakage and attraction.

Designed to replicate Manilla Active Boilies, these toughened bottom baits have been made using the same base-mix as the normal bottom baits, but with the inclusion of extra binders. This creates a much tougher alternative to using the freebies on the hair yet maintains that all important match the hatch appearance. Each hookbait is coated in a super soluble paste wrap, which is designed to match the freezer baits perfectly. Once submerged, the coating breaks down into a halo of attraction around the ultra-tough hookbait at the core, even in the coldest of water temperatures.

Designed to replicate our outstanding Manilla boilies, these pop-ups have been designed to be very user friendly and buoyant. 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. The lighter colour of the pop-ups matches your freebies once they have been submersed in water. If you wish, you can add some extra attraction to your hookbaits by using our Manilla Bait Spray.

As the name suggests, Manilla White Ones Wafters are striking white hookbaits that offer you a great visual edge when fished as a single or over large beds of bait. 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 and are ideal for use with D-rigs, Ronnie rigs and the popular German rig. Whatever rig you use, these special hookbaits will sink slowly, perfectly counteracting the weight of your hook and rig for a delicate approach.

These bespoke mustard-toned hookbaits are designed to subtly stand out over your freebies. Equally, they can be used as a single hookbait when a super bright hookbait might be a little over the top. 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.

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 Wafters are perfectly designed to sink slowly under the weight of your hook, a presentation which can fool even the wariest of carp.
