Fishing Baits

Manilla Active Shelf Life uses the same process as all our Active boilies, which involves a two-stage coating made up of super soluble liquids along with fine, high-grade powders. The result is a paste layer, which surrounds each bait in a cocoon of attraction, once submerged, this breaks away, leaving a cloudy halo around each bait. Just like the freezer bait counterpart, Manilla Active Shelf Life is specifically designed to release its attractor package even in the coldest water temperatures, meaning the outer coating will break away incredibly quickly even in the winter months. This attribute is why it’s such a brilliant instant bait despite the limiting factors that cold water carp fishing entails. Sweet, nutty and incredibly digestible, Manilla Active Shelf Life uses the same formula of milk proteins and refined nut proteins used in the freezer bait but with the addition of the smallest amount of preservative we can. Our Active Shelf Life range uses natural salts found in the hydrolysates used in the coating process to preserve them without reducing their effectiveness or their ‘active’ nature. With this in mind, Manilla Active Shelf Life has a slightly shorter use by date, compared to that of standard Manilla Shelf Life. Our Active boilies are the biggest step forward in off the shelf bait in decades and are sure to give you an edge.

The Krill Active was formed in 2014, as a means to increase the attraction of the humble boilie during Sticky’s annual jaunts to Lac de St Cassien. It was kept under wraps for many years, with batches being rolled in secret until it was perfected and released as a product in 2020. Following its incredible impact over standard baits, we are delighted to introduce the new Krill Active Shelf Life, which undergoes the same processes as the freezer version. Utilising special machinery, liquids are pumped into the bait, which is then combined with powders to create a durable, yet super soluble and attractive paste wrap. Once submerged in water, this outer coating breaks down slowly, releasing levels of attraction that far surpass that of a standard boilie. Thanks to our use of pure liquids, with high natural salt content, our Krill Active Shelf Life boilies are as close to fresh as we can possibly make them, with minimal preservatives, while still retaining their useability and ease of storage with no need to freeze. They are the biggest step forward in off-the-shelf bait for decades! Our Active baits have out fished standard boilies on every instance, due to their abundance of ammino acids which create a natural feeding trigger for carp!

Designed to complement the boilie range, The Krill Pellets undergo a two-stage coating process which ensures they are constantly leaking attraction into the water column. Utilising a significant amount of pure Krill Powder, the pellets release small particles up from the lakebed drawing fish in from above. Use as part of a spod mix, or on their own, with no limit to their use. By using liquid attractants along with the pellets, you can use them with method feeders with ease. What fish could resist a bed of pellets pulsing out attraction?

The original and best Shelf Life Bloodworm-based bait on the market today. Our Bloodworm range is often copied but never bettered! The unique blend of real Bloodworm along with traditional fishmeal-based ingredients make our Bloodworm boilies one of the best and most attractive in our range. Although Bloodworm is a fishmeal-based bait, the combination of LT94, milk proteins, soluble fish proteins, crustacean extracts, blood plasma and Robin Red make it suitable for year-round use. The mix contains fast and slow release energy sources, as well as vitamins and minerals to make sure it is as good for the fish as possible. The finished bait is subtle in smell, yet highly attractive, and sports a deep, rich red colour. Our shelf life baits are all as close to the freezer bait versions as possible, with the only difference being the addition of a natural preservative. This opens the bait up for use across Europe and ensures people who are unable to store freezer baits can still use our range of baits.

Sourced from the rich waters of the Pacific Ocean, this pure, ultra-soluble Tuna Hydrolysate has an amino profile equal to the legendary L-Zero 30. Like all of our pure hydrolysates, this is a totally raw, fresh product and being low in fat and high in soluble, digestible proteins, it’s the perfect food source for fish. High levels of palatable amino acids make it a phenomenal carp attractor too. There’s an almost endless list of applications for Pure Tuna, for all species. You can glug or soak pellets and boilies in it, add it to a PVA bag or stick mixes, spod mixes and groundbait, or incorporate it into boilies at the mixing stage.

The Sticky Baits Cloudy Krill Liquid offers anglers a liquid bait that causes a large cloud attraction in the water whilst sending out signals for krill flavouring that works wonders in warmer waters.

Cap Oil is made up of a blend of different fish oils with the added addition of the potent capsicum extract, one of the spiciest liquids known to man! As a result of the mixture of refined cod liver oil and premium blended fish oils, Cap Oil is best used in the warmer months of the year. The deep red liquid will give any mix a kick, and as an added bonus your spot will produce a prominent oil slick when the fish are feeding, giving you an early indication that a bite could be imminent. Cap Oil is a great bait soak, and being a thin liquid, it soaks in right to the core of boilies, pellets and floaters producing a prolonged release of attraction.

Made using a blend of liquid food products, peanut protein and of course Madagascan vanilla extract, this thick, sticky liquid really clings to the bait. Any hookbaits that are left to soak in Manilla Glug are given a real boost of attraction, which releases constantly over a prolonged period of time. No synthetic chemicals or flavours are added, Manilla Glug is 100% natural and cannot be overused. Add freely to bottom baits or hookbaits to add a layer of super soluble attraction for carp to home in on. Manilla Glug is designed to be used with the items in the Manilla range, however it can be added to any mix you wish for an added boost of attraction.

Utilising a significant amount of pure Krill Powder, the pellets release small particles up from the lakebed drawing fish in from above.

What fish could resist a bed of pellets pulsing out attraction?

The Bait Spray range has been designed as an alternative attractor to supplement the liquids already in each range. Although we swear by our Liquid Food and Glug ranges, they aren’t ideal for soaking hookbaits for prolonged periods of time, as their dense nature can dramatically affect the buoyancy of a pop-up or wafter and render your rig mechanics useless. Bait Sprays are a much lighter alternative, that easily absorb into your chosen hookbait, yet still pack the same punch as their thicker counterparts – simply grab a tub of hookbaits and give them a couple of sprays to seriously boost their attraction!

Supplied from the freshest Scottish salmon, our Pure Salmon Oil is a proven fish attractor as well as an excellent energy source. This 100% natural product is loaded with Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, both of which carp need to survive. One of the best applications for Pure Salmon Oil is to pour some over your floaters in the summertime. Not only does this add to the attraction of your freebies, but it also produces a nice slick on the surface aiding your rig presentation. Pure Salmon Oil can also be added to spod mixes, boilies and pellets; it is also particularly useful when it comes to hookbaits. A liberal dose over some cork-ball pop-ups will ensure they form a tougher skin and are preserved long past their shelf life.

Krill is one of the most nutritional micro-organisms known to man, and the Krill Powder we use is 100% pure meaning it is full of pulling power. It makes a great addition to base mixes as well as groundbaits, spod mixes, PVA bags and paste. Due to its buoyant nature, small particles will rise from your mix once you add some Krill Powder. This makes it the ideal supplement to a PVA bag mix, ensuring your bag will flutter down to the bottom and settle on top of any debris while still pumping out active attraction through the water column.
