Boilies
In the last 10 years boilies have become the most popular bait,
initially used predominantly on commercial Carp watersthis bait was in a different class and has helped countless good anglers become great anglers, increasing catch rate and the size of fish being caught. We could list the flavours that these come in but that would take all day, suffice it to say that if you can think of a flavour then there'll be a bag available just for you, here are just a few; Strawberry, Pineapple, Halibut, Chocolate, Green lipped Mussell and so on.
The main reason they are so favoured by both fish and fisherman is the fact that they are so easy to use and have such a strong scent and flavour.
In more recent years the fishing scene has seen an increase in the use of this bait to catch all other coarse fish with more and more record fish falling to what were Carping methods. In particular large Bream, Tench, Chub and Barbel all seem to have a weakness for a boilie, especially with the introduction of the method feeder and the spod.

There are buoyant boilies, commonly known as pop-ups, that are used to make the bait sit just off the bed of the lake making them easier for the fish to find and take. Pop-ups can be used in various situations, where there is weed or silt present on a lake bed, or with a normal boilie to create a 'snowman' rig, the pop-up is generally smaller than the normal boilie, this creates what is known as a critically balanced bait, or neutral buoyancy, and makes it easier for the fish to take in the bait
