Both the TackleBox & FishOn now have our Fizz S2 in stock. FishOn also have ScopexPineapple S2, TackleBox also have GPB2.

After FishOn Ricci caught the biggun from that Essex syndicate he moved onto to another venue. First trip he had five, including this incredible mid forty common. One of the lakes most sort after. Fizz S2 balanced over shops fermented particle & crumb.

Hmmm - what's the score with the new FB group Mark? I assume it's a moody one? If it is be aware that some potential customers are posting questions for you.
Group currently has 35members of which I'm one. Although I certainly don't remember joining any groups recently?!

No that's completely bogus mate. There are no groups on social media for SHB whatsoever. I blocked & reported one a few weeks ago. Likely the same group.

Nothing whatsoever to do with us mate.

I'm about to order some balanced baits the gpb2 in 16mm and the s2 fizz in 13mm.
I'm just wondering how buoyant the 16mm are ? Will a size 6 wide gape x and a hookbait swivel hold one down or are they more suited to bigger hooks ? Il also be ordering the 13mm s2 fizz in balanced so I'd imagine that hook will be ok for those ? Just want to make sure before I order cheers 👍

Size 4 for me on the 13mm wafters mate. Depending on what hook your using I've found a size 6 will lift and sit funny

Again pop ups in my experience if your using a Ronnie rig or multi rig style setup with a size 6 and a 16mm then you will need a lot of putty to hold it down. I use size 4s with the 13mm and still put putty on to keep it on the deck. 16mm I would be using with stiff hinges and chod rigs

Id second what colors said. 13mm balanced go perfect with size 4s

I reckon the 16mm ccs need a good gram of weight to keep them down.

Just received my TC2 balanced baits, wow, they smell amazing, I'm going for a 48 hr session with my brother who is coming over from Australia, we havent seen each other for 10 years, these babys are going to catch, if you know anything about a good bait you know these are absolutely pukka. Just trying to recapture the old fishing sessions, but we both like to catch a gooddun. I can't wait.

Ricci went after a fish called White Tips after he caught the Wharf Pool biggun. Second session back he banked it. In two trips he banked three of the lakes bigguns including the main target. ScopexPineapple S2 13mm balanced over shop's fermented particle & Krill crumb.

Two of the best in Essex from two different lakes within a couple of weeks of each other. Two of the longest carp about too. Length of that common!

My favourite carp that - Ricci's on some run at the moment. I had the other biggun from that lake several years ago (the silver common you posted previously) but white tips was always the dream. I always thought you'd know straight away if you ever had that one on the end

What a truly beautiful carp, not just the length and shape of the beast but the 2 tone colouration on the scales is just sublime.
Ps is that shops fermented particle available to buy ? Don't see it on fish ons website

I'm not sure whether they post the particle (don't see why not?) but you can definitely order it and collect it as someone on my Kent syndicate uses it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
