The need for a smaller, less conspicuous hookbait has become integral to a successful day on the bank with the wising up of commercial venue carp at certain venues. The requirement for a smaller hookbait that can be balanced with scaled down hooks and line when targeting smaller species such as F1’s, carassio, skimmers and bream. As different tactics adapt over time, so does our thinking in regards the best hookbaits in certain situations. When it comes to Method Feeder fishing there has been a definite shift towards ‘accidently consumed’ hookbaits that work together with the weight of your hook to achieve the ultimate in fish hooking potential. Our Micro Wafters have been developed for those situations when you’re looking for a fish to come into your peg and consume the entire pile of bait presented to it, feed and hookbait inclusive. Sonubaits anglers including Des Shipp and Jamie Hughes are both of the mindset a small inconspicuous hookbait can help you hook more fish on the Method. Two NEW additions to our Micro Band’um Wafter range; Power Scopex and Salted Caramel. As always each tub contains a mix of hookbait colours with Power Scopex containing yellow, red and washed-out red micro hookbaits while Salted Caramel contains a mix of caramel, white and orange coloured micro hookbaits. The ultimate in finesse hookbaits for use with Method style feeder tactics. Highly attractive ‘Micro’ Wafter hookbaits. Three colourways in every tub. Perfect for fishing on a bait band or used on a bayonet.
