Sonubaits

Developed with Des Shipp and Tommy Pickering for catching F1’s and commercial carp F1 has proven to be a revolution in mode fishmeal based groundbaits. It has also proven to be very successful with skimmers too. Since its release it has been the groundbait of choice by many top anglers and proved devastating in many matches at many different venues. By adding our unique blend of sweet attraction to a blend of fishmeals and crushed pellets we have created a groundbait which starts catching from the whistle and with prolonged holding power ensure the fish stay in your swim. It is easy to mix and binds well to a method feeder and breaks down quickly, this is all down to the ingredients used. The fine fishmeal particles create an inactive mix when dampened which is perfect for a rapid breakdown of feed around the hook. The crushed pellets make F1 easy to mix and perfect for the method. It can also be balled, or cupped in as slop. It is at its best when mixed the night before but can be mixed on the bank.

When Des Shipp came to the team at Sonubaits and asked for a strong fishmeal groundbait for deeper water, the challenge was on. 50/50 uses a blend of crushed pellets and fishmeals with a higher density and oil content to create a mix that is not only heavy, but binds in a way that helps it get to the bottom on deeper venues. This combination of ingredients has now stood the test of time and become a firm favourite with the Sonubaits consultants across a variety of different venues. Equally at home on a method feeder or used as a paste, this groundbait is one you will find in all our consultants bucket! Des Shipp: “50/50 is my go to groundbait in deeper water, especially when targeting bream and an odd carp. The strong fishmeal smell seems to hold fish in the peg for ages, with the Green version being a particular favourite of mine in slightly clearer water. One the best things about this groundbait is that it works perfectly on a method feeder and on the pole meaning I only need one mix to keep catching all session.”

We've managed to develop a range of baits to include all of the important flavour and attractants of bloodworm into the everyday baits that anglers use, such as groundbait, pellets and paste. In testing, these baits have produced amazing results, often outscoring other baits. The groundbait can be used on the Method Feeder, in a Cage Feeder or even on the pole. It's texture and contents make it an extremely versatile. We've even managed to pack as much flavour as possible into a number of other Bloodworm Fishmeal products, such as Liquid Flavour, Pastes, Soft Hooker Pellets and Feed Pellets. You can use these products for a number of different fishing types and situations. The Feed Pellets can be used around a Method Feeder after being soaked in water, add the Liquid Flavour to your pellets to give them a boost when pole fishing, or use the Bloodworm Fishmeal One-to-One Paste to make the perfect consistency paste. Paste is a bait often not used by angler's because of the soft texture, it is very easy to pull the hook out of the paste, often frustrating anglers so much that they stop fishing with it. Fibre Paste has been designed to stay on the hook, even when being cast with a waggler, yet retain a soft fluffy texture in the water! Use the power of bloodworm to your advantage and bag up this year with bumper catches. 2kg.

Match method mix is one of the most popular groundbaits in the Sonu range. That can only mean one thing! It is a proven fish catcher!

A winner for Carp, Bream and Tench it is at home on a method feeder or with a pole cup. Also available in a dark version for those clear, tough venues, match method has tued into a real all rounder. England Inteational Des Shipp played a big part in the design of this groundbait. Des commented, "Match Method is an absolute winner, it's my go to groundbait for the method feeder, but I have also taken winning catches of all species when combined with Worms and casters" 2kg.

The award winning Supercrush Krill has become a revelation in recent years, with catches across the country proving the effectiveness of this must use product. At Sonubaits we sourced top quality ground krill then set about working with our world class consultants to combine different crushed pellets in order to find the winning combination. The finished product is Supercrush Krill, a groundbait designed specifically to combined these winning ingredients. In the UK, massive catches have been across commercial fisheries on the mix. Best used in the margins, it combines the powerful attraction of krill with the blend of ingredients that holds the fish in the swim. Krill top tip: Best used in the margins, mix slightly over wet and add a handful of dead maggots to the mix. Bunches of maggots make a great hookbait for those big weary fish that love to feed later in the day. 2kg.

Tiger Fish is a mix developed by Tommy Pickering, it is a blend of Tiger Nuts, pellets and fishmeals crushed into a groundbait for carp. It’s a sweet-smelling mix that came about after various discussions and observations from specimen carp fishermen, who were all convinced about Tiger Nuts and their effectiveness. As the Tiger Nuts are crushed it releases the natural sugars and oils which help the mix go sticky when mixed with water, Tiger Fish is best mixed over damp for Method feeder work, but works just as well mixed normally for general feeder and pole work. It is easily mixed on the bank, and does not need to be riddled. The Tiger Fish combination has been phenomenal during testing and won various matches around the UK. It’s great for carp, bream and even F1s. 2kg.

Designed for river Barbel and used by all of Sonu Baits specialist consultants, it is a blend of crushed Hemp and Halibut pellets that have been coarsely ground together to create a mix perfect for the cage feeder, mesh feeder, river feeder or balling in. It also creates a great base for a PVA Stick Mix or a sloppy spod mix. When using through a feeder it can be mixed to create quite a sticky mix so it can be used even in flood conditions and the bigger particle size helps the groundbait break up and release from the feeder. The ground Hemp produces a very light oil which is released immediately, even in cold temperatures giving instant attraction and the heavier fish oils in Halibut pellets are released at a slower rate and keeps pumping out of the pellets as the water flows over them so drawing fish to the feeder for a prolonged period of time. The variation in the size of particles means that fish pick up the trail as the smaller bits get moved downstream creating a trail to the bigger bits which stay around the feeder.

Part of the new Power Scopex range, Power Scopex groundbait combines a blend of crushed pellets and fishmeal with irresistible scent and flavour, scopex, with a twist! A beautiful golden mix with a subtle fleck of red running through it, it is extremely versatile, perfect for all commercial venue species including F1s, carp and skimmers whether fished in conjunction with the feeder, pole or float.

This mix is contains the highest quality crushed pellets and fishmeals and its consistency is such that it stays on the feeder through the cast, the impact with the water and the drop through the water of most commercial venues. Once the Method Feeder hits the bottom it breaks down quickly building up the line and keeping the fish there and competing without over feeding them. Every bag comes with a free Preston Innovations Method Feeder inside. Perfect for all species of coarse fish especially Carp, F1's and Bream.

We have created a groundbait that will stick well to a Method feeder, whether you’re casting 20metres or 80metres! Its sticky texture makes attaching it to a Method feeder a simple task for any angler. Many groundbaits just won’t stick onto a feeder for long range Method Feeder fishing, this is why we’ve created a bait that will do just that. The Chocolate aroma of this groundbait will hit you as soon as you open the bag. A great bait both in smell, texture and fish catching abilities, that carp, and F1’s just can’t resist! The Orange fleck running through Chocolate Orange groundbait will help to attract the attention of fish. Much like using brighter hookbaits, this will help pull fish to your feeder quickly. Chocolate Orange Method Mix is best when used with the Sonubaits Chocolate Orange range of hookbaits. From Band’ums to Pop-ups and even the extremely popular Sonubaits Chocolate Orange Wafter! With both Orange and Brown hookbaits in one pot, you’ll be able to work out quickly if the fish want a bright bait or a more natural hookbait.

Perfectly suited to feeder fishing lakes for carp and bream these high oil hookbaits make a great target bait when using bloodworm groundbait or feed pellets. These hookbaits have really found favour with river anglers when fishing for barbel and chub. Because the feed used is predominantly pellet based or groundbait made from crushed pellets then they are the perfect choice hookbait as they will match the feed being used.
