This 52lb Mirror is the queen of a low stock pit in Berkshire and it fell for a sting pop up in very deep water when the lake had not produced any carp for a month. The carp caught a month before was also caught on the same hookbait!
The 52lb was caught in December on a day where the temps never got above 2 degrees celcius.
I have always found that this little 12mm pop up saves me a blank, especially in cold water, when I do most of my angling.

Yep she’s a cracker and it came at a time when the lake was fishing really tough. Excuse the photo of the sting hookbaits as that is an old and dated image from the winter with the old packaging.
What makes the sting so effective? Well anyone who has ever made pop ups will know that certain liquids destroy certain aspects of your basemix……..I soon worked out that those liquids for whatever reason are very attractive.
Aniseed
Bunspice
Tutti
Certain spices………all very destructive in a volatile basemix
The Herb which we launched this summer contains several of these elements and surprise surprise it’s been a mega bait so far, in fact it’s impossible to keep in stock.
Also hydro liquids in hookbaits………what an eye opener that has been! I have always been obsessed with hookbaits seeing as it’s the one on the end of your rig.
Be advised though as September is not the greatest time of year to be putting out hi viz hookbaits on certain venues. Matching dull Wafters or bottom baits is a deadly combo right now.
Right, back to work now as the bait isn’t gonna make itself!

This is the Sting 12mm ultra buoyant pop up, it is made using the Sting essential oil which I get directly from Nash. I believe it was Shaun Harrison who came up with the blend whilst at Nash. We blend it with our own unique set of flavours and sweeteners to make the finished product and is one of our biggest sellers.
Nash bait sting was a spicy fishmeal that contained a bovine meal which is no longer allowed in bait production, that smelt a little bit like Mulligatawny soup and was probably one of the best baits I have ever used.

I listened to Gary Bayes on one of the podcasts recently and he said he wouldn’t make the old Sting anymore as you can’t get the correct ingredients. Are these baits a different ‘Sting’?

Been using these for a few months now, have to say quality is second to none and they do the business. The Sting is something special, Eton Mess and others 👌

It’s amazing what we can produce 😂
If any of you think of a hookbait that is a bit special or perhaps got some winter mileage then drop us a message. We won’t be under so much pressure in winter and maybe we can run some smaller batches off. This week has been ridiculous! That blooming herb bait and all its accessories has had us under a bit of pressure.
