A fresh range of carp food

There’s one simple reason why ‘best sellers’ are just that: because they excel, and Trent Baits’ Freshwater Shrimp is a great example – it’s been on for over a decade!

Keeping in with that golden carp food rule: ‘fresh is always best’, Trent Baits’ Freshwater Shrimp range isn’t only that but natural, too. And because of this it stands to reason that it should be the company’s biggest selling bait for the past decade, with an incredible track record at all times of year and on the most demanding of venues.

The original concept behind this bait was with big, weedy, naturally-rich waters in mind. The type of place where the fish certainly didn’t need to eat bait to survive and grow big. So Trent Baits needed a bait with a real natural profile, one which has ended up including many timeless classics, such as pre-digested fishmeals, milks, birdfoods, crustacean meals, oyster shell, freshly ground seeds, soluble proteins and then rolled with their Nature Identicle Freshwater Shrimp flavour and optimum levels of natural extracts. One look at its colour, one sniff inside the bag/tub, and you instantly know it’s ticked all the right boxes.

It’s not only proven to be an album-filling bait on these naturally-rich venues; it’s also now become a tried and tested winner on today’s highly pressured smaller venues, winning over many of the UK’s most prestigious carp.

Freshwater shrimp: A proven all-time classic

Whilst the main boiled food is available in four sizes: round 12, 14 and 18mm or 14mm dumbells, there are also a number of additional products to compliment them, such as Hard Hookbaits, matching corkdust and corkball pop-ups, Pink Shrimp Wafter, boilie paste, a Hookbait Base Mix Kit and of course the amazing Amino 30 Freshwater Shrimp glug – an edge in its own right – so just imagine what your iPhoto account could look like at the end of the 2015 when you combine it with the main bait? In a word: winner!

The perfect background feed

Baffled by the array of pellets on your local shop shelf? Can’t choose between CSL and Hemp Pellets? You need to be looking at these: the matching Freshwater Shrimp Pellets – both effective and pretty damn cheap, too. “These pellets are used extensively by anglers who want to get some natural form of attraction in the swim,” informs co. owner, Danny King, “These 3mm pellets begin to breakdown the moment they enter the water releasing attractors into the surrounding area.”
