A really thick bait dip that sticks to the hookbait far longer then a standard glug and slowly releases its flavours and appetitite stimulators to attract fish to your hook bait. Great for smearing on pva bags and modern rig materials to absorb the flavour.

To further enhance your chances of attracting fish, we recommend you crumb a few boilies or add small feed pellets to coat the Glooped hookbait for even more effective pulling power.

Gloop comes in all our flavours as well as ‘The Big Cheese‘ and can also be purchased raw for you to add your own flavour and colour combinations.

Gloop

A true HBC original! Original Flakey was designed for the sole purpose of giving Darren confidence in knowing that his bread flake bait would not be nibbled away by minnows whilst trying to catch chub.

Available exclusively from The Hook Bait Company, Flakey cleverly combines the looks and appeal of breadflake with the resilience and robustness of a boilie. At last you can trot a piece of flake or fish it on the bottom without fear of the bait being nibbled away by nuisance fish! You can fish-on knowing that your bait will be there even if you miss a tentative bite, no more reeling in to attach a fresh piece of flake!

Made from our Milk Pro HNV boilie mix, each piece is individually crafted by hand to give it the flake look. The baits are then steamed so that the flavour is locked in and the Flakey is very durable. You can change the size of the Flakey by nipping off pieces with your finger nails which also lets out more of the flavour.

Available in either standard Cheese & Garlic or any of our flavour range, these individually crafted pieces of flake are steamed to lock in the flavour, for optimum attraction. Supplied in a handy re-sealable pot, The baits are shelf life too!

The bait is pliable enough to mount directly on the hook but each piece is pre-drilled for mounting on a hair. As the baits are steamed rather than boiled, the flavour and attractor levels are much higher making them ideal for attracting chub – for example, when trotting. You can nip off pieces to change the shape of the flake and let out a bit more flavour. Tremendous for tempting the chub in the harshest of conditions in conjunction with our ‘The Big Cheese’ Gloop.

Flakey is also available in a pop-up version, Pop-Up Flakey.

Remember, only The Hook Bait Company Flakey is THE ORIGINAL Flakey! Accept no imitations.

Original Flakey

Well what can you say about the humble worm as fishing bait that has not been said before… not much, we can tell you! Worms are simply brilliant as bait for a multitude of fish species and we thought we would incorporate the very essence of the worm into our new ‘Naturals’ range.

Worm Krill is an exciting new bait concept that has been put through its paces with some very encouraging results.

The base is a combination of meat and marine meals that have been blended with krill, another fantastic fish attractor. The dry ingredients are blended together using a mixture of egg and real worm extract and the worm carcasses help give the finished boilies structure and also help to disperse the real worm aroma. We have incorporated yeast with the worm extract so that the enzymes start to feed off each other making this a pre-digested food that is simply irresistible. The protein value of this food bait is absolutely tremendous and beneficial to the dietary requirements of the fish, add to that the natural aroma of the worm combined with the krill and yeast makes for a long term food source that will prove its worth in a sustained baiting campaign.

Worm Krill Products:

The bait that started it all off for the company back in 2001! Specifically designed for attracting the nomadic chub in the ‘upper’ reaches of the river Severn in Mid Wales.

This hugely successful bait has caught countless big chub to over seven pounds with its unique mix of fish and meat products and natural ingredients that constantly leach out scent trails that signal the presence of food. Every ingredient used is completely natural and quite delicate so boiling times are kept to a minimum and are part air-dried to harden off the finished boilie.

This bait is the original and still one of the best.

River Secret Products:

Our highly digestible milk protein bait designed for catching barbel all year round but with particular importance in Autumn/Winter when more protein is required to maintain a healthy metabolism.

Top dairy products such as lamlac, casein, skimmed milk powder and lactalbumin are blended with the superb salmon meal and amino enriched blood plasma. Flavour wise we have stayed on the dairy theme but added a few special palatants to really give the bait a punch.

Without giving too much away the end result smells like a chocolate caramel sundae that simply divine. Initially designed for use on the Trent, this bait has proved itself to be a big hit where flavour trails are needed to entice barbel from a distance.

Barbel Proactive Products:

Seriously fishy and seriously anti-social, so is best kept out of the house! This is the bait to attract the attentions of wary carp that have seen it all, or for attracting the attentions of chub and barbel in moving water.

This fish based product includes low temperature fish meals, salmon meal, anchovy, squid and butyric acid. The colour of the bait is a deep natural black/brown which is ideal for clear water or where carp are bombarded with brightly coloured baits. Squid and salmon oil are perfect partners for this tremendous bait and will retain its smell and attractive qualities, making it a highly effective long-term food bait source.

This particular bait has more recently been used very successfully by barbel and chub anglers with literally hundreds of double figure barbel and personal best chub ‘dogs’ falling to its amazing pulling power!

Big Squid Products:

Spicy Fish Pro is made up from an enticing blend of fishmeals that include Tuna, Krill and Salmon.

The flavours used are completely natural and are not over powering but they do hang around giving out signals of food present.

Initially launched at the Barbel Society conference, the bait has since been enhanced and re-branded to Spicy Fish Pro and is already proving itself to be a classic.

Spicy Fish Pro Products:

A very dark and rich bodied mix which contains a multitude of natural food items including snails, shrimps, daphnia and krill – blended with fish and marine meal and top quality milk derivatives making this mix truly natural.

For flavour we thought long and hard and, after trials we came up with a blend of anchovy and real worm extract along with a liquid fish protein that just smells superb.

We highly recommend this bait for use on pressured waters but especially if you are targeting barbel or chub.

Natural Crave Products:
