Art Baits Flatfish
For many years we were trying to develop a flatfish soft bait but either it moved like a dalek or the colours were just crap.
So imagine our delight when at a European pike fair in 2010 we bumped into Dutchman Han du Pau, one of the directors of Art Baits, who showed us these absolutely fantastically realistic flatfish.
We were given a few samples to try and I and a couple of trusted members of the Lure Anglers Society put these through their paces for about 6 weeks, capturing all manner of species in both fresh & salt water.
As all experienced anglers will know, flatfish, just like shrimps are preyed upon when small by just about every predatory species including their own kind.
Small flounder and plaice have been used as bait for tope, smoothhound, spurdog and so on for decades, but now we have a realistic looking as well as a realistic moving artificial flatfish.
These baits are hand poured in 3 layers and made in Belgium.
They are made from the latest bio-degradable non-toxic plastic which will NOT eat your tackle box like some of the dodgy Chinese stuff.
The 18cm weigh 45g, the 11cm weigh 15g & the 9cm weigh 10g & they are packed 1 x 18cm or 2 x 11cm or 3 x 9cm per pack in single colour packs.
They are so soft that you can leave them in your pocket screwed up while rock hopping and pull them out and they will fish instantly, these are truly the Rolls Royce of soft baits and yes, they also take freshwater predators.
I personally have had zander to 90cm while testing and one member of the LAS has been devastating the Essex perch stocks with them for the past few years.
