Soluballs are unique!

They rapidly dissolve within minutes in your swim to produce a carpet of food particles, providing an appetising break down of food signals that will attract carp from long distances, triggering them to feed without filling them up.

Soluballs are packed with marine proteins, vitamins, minerals, betaine and are individually flavoured to match your favourite Nashbait boilies. Being perfectly round they can be catapulted great distances and even throwing stick friendly, allowing you to achieve a similar effect to pellets, yet achieving perfect presentation at long range and without the necessity or disturbance of PVA bags , spodding or bait boats.

So why are they so good? The Classic Soluballs perfectly match the Classic boilies in flavour and have a lot of similarities in their base mix make up. This alone is extremely interesting to the carp because the Soluballs break down quickly, releasing smell and taste in the area being fished a long time before the boilies do. Smell and taste alone isn’t enough though, boilies are wholesome food but then so are the Soluballs. Boilies stay whole and can be picked up quickly and all be eaten in no time but the Soluballs will break up, releasing a lot of attraction but also providing food items that take longer to eat, which keeps the carp feeding in the area longer.

Using PVA mesh bags on each cast can simulate a similar scenario but then there is danger from the line, hook and rig and each capture can destroy the confidence of the carp in the swim very quickly. Soluballs being clean and easy to use, catapulted or throwing sticked into the swim create little areas of safe food so build up the confidence of the carp better. Carp are browsers and mostly move about a bit when feeding so a spread out food area is more natural, again building confidence. As Soluballs break down, throwing attraction into the area they also flake open and swell so look like sizable food items, just like a boilie does so again there will be a lot of confidence towards the boilie hook bait. Even when a Soluball has broken down as much as possible there are still little bits of flaked Soluballs and little pieces of crumb and particles which are still wholesome food, much more appetizing than plain crumb or dust like most stick mixes and pellets. So even if the carp don’t come into your swim early on a session the Soluballs are still very attractive for hours, which is pretty important on all nighter’s when you are relying on your bait to keep working for you whilst asleep.

We think that a mix of about 2/3 Soluballs to 1/3 boilies is a good baiting scenario although at the Sandown meeting several anglers who had used the Soluballs a lot varied this, some using half and half others using more boilies than Soluballs. Every situation is different but cirtainly our 2/3 Soluballs to 1/3 boilies is a very good starting point.

It pays to keep topping a swim up with the Soluballs, to keep the swim active with various stages of dissolving food. Soluballs will not fill the carp up as fast as boilies so can be fed into the swim even if the action is a little slow. Often the splash of bait going into a swim will attract the fish, inducing takes within minutes of the disturbance. If this is the case the 24mm Soluballs will work better than the 18mm and have the added advantage that the seagulls and ducks (absolute pests on some waters) don’t seem able to steal the bigger, dry free offerings. Once on the bottom the “melted” Soluballs also seem to be immune to duck attack, possibly because the food items are too small and hard to pick up. Carp though love them and easily suck up the food items.

Soluballs are simply brilliant and add a whole new dimension to baiting your swim and they are so easy to use.
