In the depths of the scenic Snake Pit, in the heart of Essex, some big carp lurk, cruising the darker waters well below the surface, watching warily, waiting for a reason to risk a strike on something tasty.
Back in the 1990s, the tasty trick that did the job was a bait trialled and developed by Kevin Nash, of Nash Tackle. With a four year blank sharply in his focus, Kevin headed out with a creative new bait mix, having decided he had nothing to lose by trying a bait that simply hadn’t existed before. Within four weeks, following a four year blank, Kevin’s hard-hitting new bait had landed him Snake Pit’s two largest common carp – definitely a comeback to commemorate! The bait mix he’d used went on to become the deadly Amber Strawberry, a flavour catapulted to angling’s collective awareness by Jim Shelley’s impressive catches.
A ring of bright water, edged by thick, vibrant trees, creating a sharp contrast of elements, colours, and textures, Snake Pit’s calm appearance conceals hard-fighting carp who are more the ready to give anglers of all stripes a run for their money.
A popular venue, Snake Pit is hard-fished, forcing anglers to be innovative and proactive with their baiting, which is where Nash’s range of baits come into their own.
Nash’s Instant Action Strawberry Crush Boilies provides one of the most complex attractor packages, featuring a range of three strawberry attractors, with highly soluble ethyl alcohol strawberry, farmed Nash Strawberry Oil Palatant, and a traditional glycerol based flavour, that combines perfectly with Scopex No. 1, resulting in a rich fruit bait that releases a timeline of attractors, however low the temperature drops. The pastel pink colour ensures that fish aren’t spooked, even in hard-fished venues, while a high leakage of milk powder and low-level tiger nut meal produces a truly irresistible scent trail across the water, with a liver boost to ensure that the carp follow through on their initial stimulation.
Available in a range of weights and sizes to perfectly meet your angling needs, the Nash Instant Action Strawberry Crush Boilies will see you crushing your carp scene all year round.
