Fjuka Bait an Honest Review (But Slightly Biased)

Mr David Preston, the founder Preston Innovations, is back in the fishing tackle industry with a bang ,Fjuka Bait discovered in a workshop in Japan,is a hand-made flexible bait. The Fjuka website describes the new product as the ‘biggest bait innovation since the maggot’.

It would have been interesting for you to have used Fjuka alongside an alternative bait for a comparison test. I bought 3 packs of 2in1 last year. Fished it solidly for seven hours on a good local Tench/Roach/Rudd gravel pit. Not a bite, unheard of on that venue! Fished it last week on a whip, alternating between `it` and sweetcorn. Neither bait had the edge over the other in terms of fish response or size. Fjuka is great for accurate loose feeding due to its consistent shape and weight, especially in windy conditions, it is easy to hook directly too, BUT, its not as soft as many other baits, therefore I find that it can often impede actually setting the hook. I spent the last hour solely fishing corn (and catching!) for that reason. Its great that everyone can get excited about a new bait form, but in all honesty, it certainly doesn`t have magical properties - and lets not forget, Carp (as featured, inevitably!!) are easy to catch on any bait!

Was given a pack of white 2in1 as part of a freebie junior starter kit by Angling Direct. Spent the last 2 weeks teaching my 4yr old to fish & the only free water around us is a little lake that is always targeted for double figure carp but we set up for little carp (4-6oz) with casters over 2mm hard pellets. Caught ok then tried the Fjuka pellets and WOW! Instant response from a better stamp of fish - thankfully had elasticated his whip as we piled into bite a chuck commons & mirrors around 8oz up to 2lb. Already ordered more online and going to try the Neeonz too.

Brilliant stuff Karl, I think the trick is the 2mm feeders you might need to step up your gear a little for the Neeonz please let me know how you get on

Great review mate! I loved the underwater shots the most

[@FishWithBish]

thanks mate great to see you back on the bank

[@theharris7207]

Tried them for the first time last week, as a standard pellet for pellet waggler fishing. Worked really well to be fair to them.

[@mattbulcroft1001]

Great video :) I just bought these in white. Hoping to get down to my local carp lake in the next few days and see what all the fuss is about for myself

[@FishWithBish]

Hi Matt thanks for commenting went yesterday as a follow up video had a great day things that I would advise use micros pellets as a feed base and keep the fjuka in a sealed bag or box to stop them drying out have a great day buddy

[@denossy]

Good interesting review I’ve ordered some to check out 👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Nice review there Bish, whatever is said it works as proofs in the pudding 👌

[@poppypoopapie]

I bought a pack of the black ones as an alternative to tares when feeding hempseed. I had a few fish on tares but when I switched to fjika the bites dried up ! Back on the tares and still had a few fish. I imagine maybe the fish in any water should get used to eating them before fjika will be successful? Have not tried them for carp on the feeder but imagine they would be good as the carp seem to grab anything going when hungry. This was an honest experiment.

Ive had mine delivered today cant wait to give em a bash tomorrow

[@FishWithBish]

HI Anthonyn thanks for dropping by and commenting, how did you get on? It must have been difficult today stopping them drying out?

[@shaun1961hodge]

I have bought a few tubes of this stuff and they just crumble. So can you tell me how you use on a hook directly? Thanks

[@robertwren8878]

Hi Bish,enjoyed that. In your opinion what is the difference between the packet baits and the tube baits as I only know that one costs more than the other,is the packet for free and the tubes for bookers ? Hope you get the time to answer this cos this must be a question on all our lips. Regards Robert. Subscribed.

[@robertwren8878]

[@robertwren8878]

Tubes for hookers

Was you fishing at hunnington Bish?

[@FishWithBish]

Hi Josh thanks for commenting I was mate, not going again though they don't want me to video there a shame really as they had all the free publicity, so won't go again

[@joshcater6651]

That’s a shame, good fishing there aswell, but the owner is very strict 😐

[@joshcater6651]

Your publicity actually works though as I’ll be fishing Bells Mill this week due to watching your videos
