More Team Barbel Success For Steve |

Regular customer Steve Woodley recent sent us a report on his angling on the challenging Great Ouse so in his own words, Here's how Steve's been getting on. Having first tried the Bankside Team Barbel baits in January 2010 when I purchased your Barbel Combo, I was rewarded a couple of weeks later with a 14lb+ fish from the Great Ouse. At the time I wrote to thank you for a great service and the fine bait you had supplied so I just thought I'd drop you another line and let you know of some recent catches on the Team Barbel Nuggets . Having struggled on the Great Ouse last season only managing 2 barbel all year (one of which was caught on your nuggets) I was expecting another series of blanks again this season so I was rather chuffed to catch a 11lb 1oz barbel a couple of weeks ago. Returning a week later I was again rewarded with a fine 9lb barbel, and having already caught as many barbel out of the Ouse this season as I did all of the year before, I was resonably happy with my start. Returning again for a short session the week after the 9lb barbel I was quickly into a 6lb 1oz chub on my first cast. I was more than happy with the result but things would get even better before I called it a day. I fished a couple more swims to no avail until settling in another swim for a last cast. Not long after casting out my broken down nugget with a small PVA bag of half a dozen crushed Team Barbel Nuggets hooked on, I was soon attached to an angry fish that tried extremely hard not to see the inside of my landing net. After I had finally managed to land the fish I was pleasantly surprised to watch my scales head up to 13lb to make it 3 fine barbel in as many weeks and one extremely happy angler. I'd just like to thank you again for a top class service supplying quality bait which in turn allowed me to catch some top class fish. Keep up the good work and I hope to catch many more fish on your bait over the coming seasons. Steven Woodley |

Wye Hauling On The Team Barbel |

With the river season in full flow there are plenty of barbel being caught from all of the local rivers, and one angler that seems to be doing very well is Mark Surman. Mark has been heading over to the Wye this summer and armed with the Team Barbel seems just about unstoppable. Top of the pile for mark has been a 12lb+ specimen which is a massive barbel by Wye standards, and this has been backed up by a number of other very good fish including a 10 and an 11. Winning tactics for mark has been a Team Barbel Hookbait wrapped in Team Barbel Paste fished over a bed of mixed Grubber pellets , a method that's being successfully employed by an ever increasing number of anglers targeting the UK's barbel stocks. On the same stretch of the Wye, James Clift has also been getting amongst the fish and using identical tactics to Mark banked another Wye specimen weighing in at 9lb 2oz. Well done lads and thanks for the pictures. |

Recently Team Avid members comprising of our own Jon Finch and Nigel Williams along with Ian Russell and Jon 'Shoes' Jones have just returned from what has been a session to remember. In four days fishing the lads managed to bank some of Abbey Lakes finest. Jon and Nige opted to fish Heron Lake and set up in a quiet corner that looked good for a bite or two. Jon fished solid PVA bags of Grubber and Sucka pellets with a few crushed D-Liver boilies inside and then scattered about half a kilo of 12mm D-Liver boilies in the general area. At first light his left hand rod melted away and after an epic battle Jon managed to slip the net under a 58lb 4oz mirror. Simply magic. Inspired by the electric atmosphere of a whacker on the bank Nige sat back in his swim in anticipation. Nige re-cast his rods back to the spots and scattered another 50 D-Liver 20mm boilies in the area. In no time at all after returning Jon's capture, Nige pulled into a steady take and what they were about to witness was truly awesome. As Jon got ready with the net a huge mirror appeared at the drawcord. In disbelief the mirror rolled into the net and upon parting the mesh they both released that the biggest fish in the lake had been nailed on a D-Liver boilie. With the Team Avid crew all present, they were about to witness the scales being pulled round to the magical 70lb mark. The huge mirror settled the dial at 70lb 4oz and who could have believed the two largest residents in the lake would crop up at the time of their visit. Awesome fishing and a session to remember.

As you have probably seen in the magazines, Avid Carp is the latest brand to hit the Carp world. Last week we received the first products and as expected, they haven't let us down. Avid are re-thinking tackle and with the launch of the Corn Stops and Sight Stops, we are sure that most anglers will want some in their tackle box. First up are the Corn Stops. Available in a mixed colour pack or standard yellow, the stops can be used as a hair stop with the added advantage of the corn tipping off the bait for visual attraction. Corn stops will also be available in long and short to suit the length of your hair and presentations. Click here for more info... Sight Stops work on the same principle, providing an ideal boilie stop that adds visual attraction to your hookbait. Available in both mixed colours and yellow in short and long varieties. Click here for more info... Avid Carp Corn Stops and Sight Stops are both neat little products that are user friendly. The list of different coloured presentations and tactics are virtually endless and in testing they helped catch fish to over 70lb. Over the next few months there's much more to come from Avid so keep an eye on the website for more news.

One of the most popular boilies in the shop this spring has been our own D-Liver freezer bait, and it's always nice to hear when when it produces the goods. Over the last few weeks local angler Lee Scotford has been regularly baiting a Gloucestershire stillwater and his efforts are starting to pay off. This 28lb 8oz common was caught on one of Lee's prebaited spots over 1kg of D-Liver and from what we can see, it looks like the first one of many. Nice one Lee! |

As many of you are aware our bait range has been going from strength to strength. As all of the bait in our range is in our own personal bait bags, we can develop and change products to suit. Ultimately we are always looking for superior quality and convenience.
Our new bottles which now hold all of our liquids, are simply superb. With a flip top cap and easy pour nozzle, gone are the days of trying to pour thick or oily liquids into PVA bags and making a complete mess.
For those anglers who have been using our D-SCENT range, the soft grip bottles and caps are even suited to the thick liquids. Not only will this save on making a complete mess, the easy pour cap allows you to deposit the exact quantities of liquid needed, for ultimate convenience.
If you are intending to glug or dip hookbaits then simply unscrew cap and place baits through the wide neck. Baits of easily up to 24mm will fit. These bottles simply tick all the boxes for any angling situation. To view our full range please click here .
