Sitting pretty on top
Don’t just rely on that big bag of Tesco Chum Mixer to see you through this summer’s surface fishing escapades. Create more chances with these floating fodder delights from Crafty Catcher
1. Big Hit Crafty Floater Kit
Sure, you could buy a sack of Mixers from Tesco. But they won’t have the pulling power of these new-for-2016 floaters from Crafty. Uniform in size, they have been steeped in the brand’s own unique attractant to create an oily ‘chum’ trail. There’s even a pot of boosted, ready-prepared matching hookbaits included. “GIMME”: £11.99; copdockmill.co.uk
2. Crafty Insulated Boilie Cool Bag
This fully insulated, 4kg capacity bag does more than just look after freezer bait. It’s also ideal as a summer stalking bits bag; a food and brew kit carrier; or to house your camera equipment. It’s also perfect for storing glugged Mixers/floating pellets (see above), so it checks all the boxes. “GIMME”: £9.99
3. Crafty Floaters
With every publication and social media site harping on about Zig Rigs you’d be forgiven for thinking floater fishing didn’t exist anymore. Of course it does and Crafty have just made the task of presenting your hookbait all the easier with these new easy-to-use, soft and rubbery textured Mixers. Available in Crustacean & Krill, Scopex, Strawberry and Tutti Frutti flavours. “GIMME”: £3.99
New for 2016 is another addition to the brand’s ‘Big Hit’ range: The Crafty Floater Kit 4. Crafty Liquids
Even the best pellets in the world can sometimes do with a quick splash of liquid attractant to make them even more attractive and these two are simple the best of the best: Hemp Oil and Fish Oil. Now whilst they’re at completely opposite ends of the spectrum, they both do the same thing: make whatever floating bait(s) you’re using more attractive, as well as flattening off the surface ripple making it easier to see your hookbait. So yes, now’s the time to start glugging your surface baits. “GIMME”: £4.99 and £6.99
