We are always so thrilled to see those 📦 landing on your doorsteps! 🚚
The excitement of getting your new QUEST unboxed like a kid on Christmas morning, charging it up and counting down until being able to send it out on its first test drive! We get it, it’s how we’ve felt through the whole development process!
This all time classic was discontinued several years ago, but by popular demand from our friends overseas it’s back in our range.
The base mix has been improved massively, being both highly nutritious and easily digestible that makes it perfect for year round use.
Being a perfect blend of milk and whey proteins, nut meals, Sluis CLO, vitamins and minerals giving carp everything they need plus being a high leakage finished bait which is perfect for both long and short sessions. Add to this a beautiful liquid package of Multimino and Corn Steep Liquor along with our Pineapple and Banana nature identical flavours and last but not least natural sweeteners giving a finished bait you will find hard to put back on the shelf.
This time I would like to cover carp safety on the bank when unhooking and using a sling + photography.
The most important part of this is the fish comes first at all costs. You have caught it and well done. There is no need to put the fish’s life in danger just because you need a photograph.
1. Be prepared, as all good Scouts say, this is so true with fishing. Part of the process of setting up my rod’s, bivvy etc, I always set up my unhooking mat, water bucket, weighing pole and have my scales in the bivvy door.
I also have my tripod at the ready.
There should NEVER be a need to leave the fish unattended on the mat.
If you’re not ready just put the carp in a sling and safely put it in deep water. NEVER in shallow or hot water (like this summer has been), there will be a lack of oxygen. Always have the sling cord at the ready attached to a peg or spare bank stick, all set to clip on.
These are all very simple things and should be organized immediately after, if not before you cast out.
In this day and age, self-take photography amazingly simple and there is no need for that 2am call to your best mate!
Just practice with setting up your camera stuff and doing self-takes with no fish.
Even if I do have a friend about, I generally still set up and do a self-take, that’s the way I have been doing things for over 30 years.
