A mix to catch a fifty!
Here's how to put together the mix that caught Richie Leat a UK 50lber...
As discovered in August's CARPology magazine, Ritchie Leat has caught a brute of a carp - a whopping 54lb 10oz. But that isn’t all… this spring and summer Ritchie’s been on a roll, landing large numbers of big carp from his syndicate venue, so we’ve cracked open his bait bucket to see what he’s Spombing out there. The verdict? It’s a rich, nutty, citrusy smelling concoction, full of attraction and small food items to keep them grubbing around for a long time. Here’s how he puts it together…
