Urban Bait Nutcracker

Your choices when it comes to boiled foods aren’t limited: there’s hundreds, and more seemingly popping up everyday. But when it comes to picking a real good one… That’s when it becomes a little trickier. Urban Baits’s Nutcracker boilie has been ripping venues apart for the past few years and subsequently the range of condiments has grown into what you see before you now… urbanbait.co.uk

Dip

The central nervous system of productive short session fishing. Loaded at the best possible ratio of carp attracting oils along with the Nutcracker flavour to complement and increase attraction of both your foodbaits and/or just your hookbait(s). “GIMME”: £9.95

6mm pellets

Hook up with the matching boilies, add to a spod mix or just fish in bags to get an instant reaction. Based on a low oil design, the pellets are loaded with Nutcracker attractors that in tests have shown carp find almost impossible to ignore. Even Stone Age maggot-drowning dads would approve. “GIMME”: From £5.95

Stick Mix

Years ago you got groundbait. Now you get specifically designed mixes such as this range of four. Designed for use in Stick bags, they are light and fluffy meaning the Stick will settle nice and slowly over any weed, offering you A1 presentation. “GIMME”: £5.95

Boilies

The Nutcracker boilie: the biggest boiled food success story in the last few years? Looking at Shelley, Dempsey and co’s. catch reports – YES! This beautifully creamy smelling bait, which is a made from a blend of ground nut and milk proteins, is available in three sizes: 12, 14 and 18mm, and in both shelf-life and freezer form. “GIMME”: From £10.50 a kilo

Hardened hookbaits

These super-durable hookers to withstand the attention of nuisance fish. “GIMME”: £5.49

Flavour

If individuality is your thing (that’s making your own and getting a bollocking off the missus for the smell), then you’ll be wanting this part of the range. “GIMME”: £9.95

Corkball Pop-Ups (white and regular)

A corkball pop-up with a big difference. 1: You get a super buoyant hookbait. 2: They come in two colours. 3: The smell – it’s salivatingly good. 4: Each pop-up comes meshed, meaning it’ll withstand pecking from nuisance fish and/or birds. “GIMME”: £11.95

Washed Out Pink Pop-Ups, £6.49

Wafters

The Wafters are so finely balanced thanks to the exacting ratio of pop-up mix to base mix so that your hookbait will waft around totally naturally. “GIMME”: £5.95

Barrels, £5.95

Two things are certain this winter. One is that you’ll overindulge at Christmas, and the second is that Urban Bait’s Nutcracker will tear up a lake near you!

Its make-up assures both attraction and that all-important digestion, even in cold water. That’s the trick you see – give them a bait that they can digest easily and they can eat more of it, more often… which looks good for your chances!

The bait is built from nut meals (hence the name), milk proteins (a winter staple since the 1970’s) and cereals (think easy digestion and great flavour leakage), which give it a lovely buff colour and distinctive attractor profile. We especially like the 12mm versions which will make the carp work that little bit harder for their fill, upping your chance of tripping one up!
As well as the freezer bait, the Nutcracker range also includes 12 and 15mm washed-out pop-ups in pink and yellow, neat flavour, dip, pellets and paste, all of which are perfect for winter use. Wrapping hookbaits in paste in particular increases the flavour and attractor leakage in cold water, a little edge that can buy a quicker bite.

The washed-out pop-ups are subtle and we love the idea of presenting a flavour-boosted twelve-miller over the top of some 12mm freebies and the mouthwatering 2mm pellets this winter! urbanbait.co.uk
