Question Time


Quick Fire Question Time

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


Cream Cajouser


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.

Pink Pepper Power


This is a classic spice-based boosting combination — sharp, volatile and designed to cut through the water column quickly.

You’ve got three layers working together:

Pink Pepper Bait Soak
Black Pepper Essential Oil
Pink Pepper Alternative Hookbait Pop-Ups

Individually they’re strong. Combined, they create a highly reactive, signal-heavy hook bait that leaks attraction immediately on contact with water.

The Boosting Mechanics

1. Pink Pepper Bait Soak – The Carrier

The soak acts as the delivery system. It penetrates the outer skin of the pop-up and loads it with soluble attractors. Because it’s liquid-based, it disperses quickly, creating an instant flavour halo around the bait.
Pink pepper has a naturally warm, spicy profile that stimulates feeding without being overly sweet or fishy. It’s different enough to stand out, but not so aggressive that it spooks pressured carp.

2. Black Pepper Essential Oil – The Trigger


This is the high-impact element. Essential oils are extremely concentrated and highly volatile. Even a drop is enough.

Black pepper oil excels in cooler water because it disperses efficiently and carries a sharp, recognisable signal. It acts almost like a sensory irritant — not in a negative way — but in a way that encourages investigation and competitive feeding.
Used correctly (one drop per pot, not more), it sharpens the whole profile without overpowering the base bait.

3. Pink Pepper Pop-Ups – The Platform

The pop-up itself is already an attractive, buoyant hook bait with its own flavour profile. By matching the soak to the bait, you’re reinforcing the same signal rather than confusing it.
This is important: boosting works best when you amplify the original identity of the bait, not mask it with something completely different.

What Happens Underwater

Once introduced:

The soak starts to leak almost immediately.
Fine oil particles rise and disperse through the layers.
The essential oil creates a wider scent trail.
The pop-up continues to leak attraction for hours.
You get an initial spike of attraction followed by a sustained release. That’s exactly what you want on short sessions or when dropping onto showing fish.

Where It Excels

Cold water and early spring
High-pressure venues
Single hook bait or minimal feed situations
Zig or chod presentations
Margin traps where you want instant curiosity
It’s not a subtle food bait approach like liver or GLM. This is about stimulation, curiosity and reaction bites.

Used sparingly and with control, the pepper combination gives you a sharp, unmistakable edge without turning your hook bait into an overpowering novelty. Precision boosting — not overdoing it.

 

Hope this helps

Richard
