The vote is open for the MyAD Choice Awards 2026! Bait is at the heart of every successful fishing session. Whether it’s boilies, pellets, groundbait, or liquids, choosing the right bait can be the difference between a blank and a red-letter day. Over the past year, we’ve seen some incredible bait innovations and new releases hit the shelves, to sit alongside some baits that have stood the test of time. In this category, we have hand-picked six baits that our team feel have stood out, whether for their effectiveness, versatility, or game-changing impact on angling.
Since its launch, DNA Baits The Bug has quickly become one of the most talked about carp baits around.

The bait also releases attraction steadily in a wide range of conditions, helping it perform throughout the year. Known for combining instant attraction with long-term feeding response, it has proven itself on waters across the UK and Europe.
Fjuka Sensate Powder is designed to boost the attraction of your bait and help trigger feeding responses from fish.
