Innovate Baits are based near Sandy, Bedfordshire, specializing in developing and manufacturing carp baits just that little bit different to the run of the mill selection available today, as well as developing baits that Catfish and Barbel have found hard to resist. With a host of bait and angling know how, this bait company aims to provide you, the angler, with top quality innovative baits at affordable prices to inspire confidence both in you and the fish to accept one of the most exciting bait ranges to come along in a very long time.
As a bait company we develop our baits, firstly, as a food source, incorporating only products we know are good for the fish and will aid growth and promote good health, naturally by doing this, a bait is automatically created, but this time it’s a bait that will be recognized as a necessary dietary requirement of the carp, after all, we all need good quality food to survive, and we all keep coming back for food that we like, don’t we? Steamed not boiled Steaming our baits is a definite edge in providing what we believe are the best quality carp baits available, if you have ever tasted a boiled vegetable and then compared it to a steamed vegetable, you will completely understand where we are coming from, if you have never tried it, give it a go, you will be very pleasantly surprised, and hooked….The same principle applies to our baits, steaming not only keeps more flavour in, but allows for a more consistent bait with higher nutrient retention, let us explain...
Boiled baits, not surprisingly, undergo a boiling and battering process whereby there naturally will be a tremendous loss of flavour, nutrients and many soluble ingredients (at uncontrollable levels) paramount to the quality of that bait during the cooking process, subsequently, baits in some instances are over flavoured to begin with to allow for this loss, consistency levels are very hard to achieve. Steaming on the other hand is a far more subtle and controlled form of cooking baits, the flavour loss is very minimal, and more proteins and nutrients are left within the bait, some are obviously lost due to the cooking process, but at a lower level, in fact so much so, that most of our baits have no more than 1-3ml of flavour inclusion per kilo, this means consistency in baits due to the low levels required, it also means you will never get an over flavoured bait, which can sometimes deter the fish.
