Bait evolution on a grand scale

From pellets and groundbaits to ready- prepared particles, everyone is catered for

EVOLVED Baits might but not be a household name in UK fishing right now, but that could all be about to change. The rapidly- growing firm, based in Lincolnshire, is quickly forging a strong reputation in match and specimen circles thanks to its carefully considered products which utilise high- quality ingredients offered at keen, ‘ buy- direct’ prices.

Run by anglers Andy Dixon and James Moore, the duo has already gained a strong local and online following for their aminobased pellet baits and factory- fresh particles which you can ‘ click and collect’ straight from their cookers, or have posted to your home.

They’ve recently expanded their range with some great new additions including super- sized bags of groundbait, big- value particle tubs, sticky Method pellets, and Amino pellets.

SPICED PUNCH CRUMB

RRP: £ 2.99 ( 900g), £ 4.99 ( 1.8kg), and £ 12.99 ( 5kg) For anglers who love river, drain and canal fishing, this finely milled white crumb could be your little secret to success in the winter months. It comes infused with a blend of spices, feeding stimulants, and essential oils to make your baits stand out from the crowd, and is easily mixed with water to hit the bottom quickly or atomised for a cloudy delivery.

AMINO LIQUIDS

RRP: £ 4.99 ( 50ml)

These powerful amino liquid additives come in six flavours – The One, Unami, Choco Cream, Nectarmino and Scopex & Garlic – hand picked to react with the aminos, not just for the aroma within the product. Fish crave aminos and require them in their day- to- day diet as they play a vital part in helping fish to repair/ renew damaged tissue. The amino formula is packed with other vital additives and feeding triggers which help to deliver a long- lasting scent trail in the water. Add to boilies, pellets or groundbait and just watch the reaction!

NATURAL AND COMMERCIAL GROUNDBAITS

RRP: £ 6.99 ( 1.8kg) and £ 15.99 ( 6l bucket) There’s no mistaking these standout colours in Evolved’s line up of groundbaits which are ideal for balling in on rivers or big- potting in the edge. The range – Natural and Commercial – with black River & Drain and Canal Black mixes, a natural- coloured Big River, and Irish Gold filling the Natural line- up. For commercial anglers, the vivid Krill Red, Betaine Green, Sweet Fishmeal Gold, and Sweet Fishmeal Black also make very bright paste baits.

STICKY METHOD PELLETS

RRP: £ 1.50 ( 50g), £ 3.99 ( 900g), and £ 16.99 ( 5kg) Available in both 2mm and 4mm sizes, these pellets are stickier than most on the market, making them foolproof for using on Method and Hybrid feeders, and especially good when you’re fishing in deeper swims. It also means you can easily form small balls for feeding by hand or even catapulting over your Method or bomb line. Prep is easy with a sprinkle of water seeing them ready to fish in just three minutes. They come in three flavours – Sweet Fishmeal, Chilli, and Scopex – and are available in bag sizes including 50g, 900g and 5kg.

AMINO PELLETS

RRP: £ 3.99 ( 900g), £ 16.99 ( 5kg), £ 15.99 ( 6l bucket) Packed with feeding stimulants and strong, natural attractants, these hard pellets give off a long- lasting scent trail in the water. Their uniform size ensures accuracy when feeding by hand or when trying to group the pellets around your pole float, pellet waggler, or bomb at longer ranges with a catapult.

PARTICLES

RRP: 900g £ 3.99; 5kg from £ 10; 6l buckets £ 15.99 Evolved’s extensive range of particles includes cooked shelf- lifes, fresh frozen, and dry baits. In terms of the ready- prepared tubs, a unique cooking process ensures all the particles retain their natural qualities and stimulants, resulting a high level of leakage and maximum attraction. The smaller ‘ match packs’ are also perfect for those who fish from a seatbox for five hours. We were particularly impressed with the combo packs of Hemp with either maize, corn, tiger nuts, or 6mm meat cubes. Bulk- buy buckets of hemp, tares, and spod mix will keep you going for longer!
