The Co-De range isn’t about blatant flavour hits or synthetic overload. It’s built around digestibility, enzyme activity, and soluble food signals — the kind of attraction that carp interpret as safe, nutritional feeding.
What you’ve got here is a layered boosting system:
Used together, this is controlled, food-based amplification rather than shock attraction. The Foundation: Co-De Liquid Enzymes
This is where the real power sits.
Enzyme-treated liquid foods are partially broken down at a molecular level. That means: Faster leakage Higher solubility Readily detectable amino acids Improved digestibility signals Carp don’t just respond to smell — they respond to free amino acids and soluble proteins. Enzyme liquids release these rapidly, even in colder water. That creates a genuine feeding trigger rather than simple curiosity.
When you soak wafters lightly in this, you’re not masking the bait — you’re intensifying its natural food profile.
The Amplifier: Co-De Hook Bait Complex The Hook Bait Complex acts as a reinforcement layer.
Think of it as:
A concentrated signal boost Additional attractor density A way to increase the leakage window Applied after a light enzyme soak, it adheres to the outer layer of the wafter. Once submerged, you get an initial release from the outer coating, followed by a sustained leak from the enzyme-infused core.
It creates a two-stage attraction curve:
Immediate solubility spike
Long-term food leakage That’s extremely effective on pressured waters where fish inspect before committing. The Platform: Co-De Corkie Wafters The wafters are already balanced and food-based. Their buoyancy allows the hook bait to behave naturally over:
Light silt Fine debris Marginal clean spots When boosted correctly, the bait remains critically balanced while leaking a steady stream of soluble food signals.
Importantly, this is not an overpowering scent trail. It’s a subtle but constant nutrient signal — the kind that encourages confident feeding rather than tentative mouthing.
Why Co-De Boosting Works
Highly soluble in cold water Food-based rather than synthetic Encourages repeat feeding Harder for pressured carp to associate with danger Works exceptionally well over minimal feed On venues where fish have seen high-flavour, high-visual hook baits repeatedly, Co-De stands out because it doesn’t scream. It feeds.
Where It Excels
Winter and early spring Short sessions with single hook baits Margin traps Clear water Heavily pressured syndicates This is precision boosting — reinforcing nutritional confidence rather than creating a novelty spike. Used sparingly and intelligently, Co-De boosting turns a good hook bait into a refined feeding trigger that carp can commit to without hesitation.
We caught up with Rich Hughes with our quick fire 5 questions to find out his favourite baiting approaches.
1, Shelf-Life or Freezer baits – For convenience its shelf-life for me unless rules state freezers only. Having baits ready to go in advance of sessions for me is key, bucket full of boilies, Boilie Bits and Pellets all lightly glugged and ready and what i don’t use is ready for my next session.
2, Hook bait of choice – tough one but I’d have to go with match the hatch Corkie Wafters especially over a spread of baits. My go to approach for most of my UK angling assuming conditions suit are fishing over bait, usually around 500g to a kilo over each rod and want my hook bait to blend in as food as opposed to stand out and signal danger.
3, Particles or Pellets – Definitely pellets approach for me, but more recently the new Boilie bites have played a big part in my angling. Many of the fisheries across the UK now have stocked fish from fish farms. These are reared on pellets so accept as a food source, give a protein content as opposed to particles so its a no brainer for me to go with the pellet approach.
4, Glugged or Not – With limited time in my angling due to a busy work / family life, I want as much attraction as possible so it’s lightly glugged for me.
5, Over bait or Bag Fishing – Bait approach every time for me, bags work brilliantly, but my personal favourite is a spread over bait to get them feeding confidently and hopefully one of the big ones comes calling. If it’s weedy then i use bags but combined with a bait approach.
Let us know your favourite approach and in the meantime we’ll throw the questions at some of the team to see if there’s a common favourite or everyone has a different approach.
Cream Cajouser boilies have been an instant success with anglers worldwide for over 20 years. Due to EU legislation the dye used in the range to give the distinctive white appearance is no longer allowed to be used under EU legislation.
So for this reason we have chosen to leave in a beautiful natural creamy colour with no added food dyes.
So what’s in the make up of this highly successful bait, which has the amazing Cream Cajouser aroma and taste profile. The base mix is an highly digestible bird seed base mix with the addition of Sluis CLO, milk and whey proteins, nut meals, vitamins and minerals, along with our now legendary amino rich Multimino, Cream Cajouser and natural sweeteners, giving a finished bait that is both instant and can be used as a campaign bait also.
The range will be available in 3 sizes, (12mm, 15mm and 18mm) in both 1kg and 5kg resealable bags.
For the first time, the range will be available in both freezer and shelf-life baits.
