I TRIED FJUKA GROUNDBAIT!

[@jeffchandler7662]

groundbait companies …please make your bags resealable !!!

[@martinhehir1471]

Totally agree with you on this one Jeff

[@jayjay199o]

Best comment so far that's a winner but they will probably want 15 quid a bag but here's a idea for you carry resealable bags with you 2 quid for 200 and put it in them don't worry about the tip 😂

[@mikeshaw714]

I used to use food bag sealing clips from ikea. I’m always surprised Preston didn’t sell them with the PI logo on them. They’d make a fortune

[@razormodz1173]

Sticky Baits are resealable bags. I get on really well on most lakes using their bait.

[@jasonweston1273]

Hinders baits are re - sealable.

[@allanwithers8509]

Certainly looks a convenient way to fish. Thanks for doing the video with a great demonstration.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Thanks for watching!

[@leebuck8139]

I’ve been using these ready to use bags from Fjuka for a month or so now and I think it’s brilliant stuff. I know it’s not to everyone’s taste but it’s worked for me. 👍🏻

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I caught plenty of fish in this session 👍

[@stephenarmstrong6620]

Absolutely love the set up looks ideal for a quick session. Lovely film joe and merry Christmas to you and your family 👍👍

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Thanks for the support 👏🏻

[@tallshort1849]

Never used a single Fjuka product that I would use again

[@stephenpyner4156]

That's the sort of bait I'd expect a person new to fishing to try Joe, I experimented with a free pack of their 3in1 bait when it came out and thought it was rubbish

[@RobertoBiagini-n4b]

If the result is similar at their pellet or the attractor sensate, I don't even try them. Really rubbish.

[@Gonefishin27]

Never ever had a single bite on the bag I purchased. Total hype.

[@kippaxstreeter]

It is mate can't believe the names that promote it?

[@stevegreen3036]

£3.99 for 500g seems extraordinarily expensive when you consider that includes the weight of the water content. You can get a kilo of sonubaits pro feed pellets for £4.99 (this excludes the weight of the free lake water).

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I guess you’re paying for the convenience. Grated cheese costs more than a block of for example

[@peterthornton8520]

I saw Jon Arthur doing the same as you with light set up. Great concept for those non match days out. Been using the Sensate Powder for a little while sprinkled on my maggots and also when soaking Micros's sprinkling on them. I must say it seems to work quite well. Will be availing myself of some of the Method mix and the Micro's to see how well it works. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I had a bother few hours on the set up yesterday and absolutely loved it once again.

[@stewartmercer19]

As someone else has suggested, it is targetting an audience that doesn't want to make their own groundbait. Fantastic idea for a novice or someone who is just starting up. I quite enjoying making my own batches up for the river Summer and Winter knowing if it it doesn't work, it's my mixes that have failed me. Bearing in mind using this on a river such as the Trent, 10 casts with a large feeder would probablly use up one of those bags! Nice idea... but not for me.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Yea it has a target audience 👍

[@markgallagher3409]

Merry Christmas joe- 😊

[@rogercunningham9818]

Will you be doing a test with it in the summer Joe. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I don’t really need to I’m sure it catches fish 👍

[@poppypoopapie]

I never throw any unused ground bait away, it goes in the freezer for next time when I mix it with a bit of fresh stuff, It looks like there is a lot in the bag but a normal ground bait always expands when mixed so that doesn’t look a lot for the cost?

[@thesparrowssmylestudio]

i have used it at my local venue, had a few poplars on it and silvers and one mirror.. i think i will stick to mixing my own in the future.. but if someone is just starting fishing or new to groundbait and suchlike it will be perfect for them...

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I think that’s the market 👍

[@felgate11]

Maybe Darken a bit it with some dampened, Black or Green, other goundbait ??

[@shauncorless8965]

Tried it on a commercial ,,, wasn't working ,, change to maggot feeder and bagged up 😮

[@kevinhanson9173]

It’s not for me but I think ground bait as become so expensive over the last couple of years and I do take it back home and freeze it and use it for the next match plus I’m starting to mix a little less than I usually do

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Out of interest does it change after freezing?

[@kevinhanson9173]

@@MatchFishingFilms It does a bit sometimes you have to add a little water and do the riddling but when you’re fishing for Carp especially down the edge it’s ideal

[@alanhall3970]

I have found it does dry out a bit after freezing my groundbait but a sprinkle of water and it's as good as new. Have tried fjuka baits before with no success and ended throwing it away

[@barrymann399]

I've used fajuka pellets and never caught a fish

[@yourloveismydrug6537]

Fjuka can work very well on venues used to it and kill your peg on venues that aren't , I have fished it side by side with other baits that match it in appearance and not had a bite on the fjuka but caught consistently on others so overall Fjuka a waste of time and money . This method ready ground bait would only really appeal to beginners , any decent angler will want the ability to change their mix as the session develops . This product has had some very negative reviews and product consistency is very poor, a lot of people complaining about it drying out or coming to dry out of the packet

[@TheGazofcas]

Concept is good in theory but in practice over priced for what it is, again Fjuka catching more anglers than fish

[@felgate11]

I've used a darker, ready to use Method mix a while ago, but can't remember the brand (yes I'm old) - smelled a lot like Rum 'n' Raisin. (maybe Sensas or Dynamite??)

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Hmmm not sure there have been a few bait brands dabble with the idea. Bet a few more do too.

[@alanhall3970]

I make more than enough mix then take home the excess and freeze it. Ready made mix for next session no problem.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Sounds great

[@jermaineburgess7016]

I'd like to see fjuka products used/work on natural fishing venues. Canals in paticular

[@kippaxstreeter]

Doesn't even work on commercials

[@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES]

Lol yes right ​@@kippaxstreeter

[@andrewlongmuir7153]

It can seem lumpy as you are using the method mix which is a combination of pellet and ground bait. This is why they have 3 types. The groundbait is quite fine in it's consistancy 👍👍👍😁😁

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I think it would be better on a larger method feeder as opposed to the smaller ones in winter 👍

[@derekhudson8031]

Use the method 2 mm pellets they brillant going to try the groundbait next .

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I did get a bag but as it’s fishery pellets at shearsby I didn’t open the bag. They look good though

[@Royboy50]

Tommy Pickering didn’t need senate or fjuka to win what he’s won ,it’s pure hype don’t believe a word of it catches more anglers than fish and I’m surprised and a bit disappointed he’s in on it ,

[@robertwren8878]

I would suggest joe that if this product is to be popular it needs to be half the price,its clear you do catch on it but is it a sensation? Untill it is proven i think the cost outweighs the popularity untill then,fishmeal pellets are the king! Somewhere though im sure this preston bait has a place

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I don’t think there ever will be a bait that is a sensation. But as far as convenience goes then this is great. Be interesting to see where they go next with it

No need to put a pack in a bag to be fair the shallow tray area on the restabox would easily take a pack 🙂 I use spotted fin those tubs last me ages I decant into smaller tubs for my five hour sessions (Sandwich size box) May well give this a try though

Thanks Joe ,but not for me ,it has it's target audience like you alluded to.Dont doubt it will catch fish

[@bigdav47]

I don't fall for marketing either. Takes literally 5 minutes to do ordinary micros, and groundbait isn't time consuming to mix a bit up as soon as you get to the bank. Joe actually talked more about how he liked his seat or flask more than the "merits" of the FJUKA stuff. 😆Seems over expensive to me, as does the sensate stuff in bottles which are small and not filled anywhere near the top for 15 quid. That groundbait looked like reddy coloured pea gravel. No thanks, but folks are entitled to buy what they like.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Great seat and great flask😎

Tried all types of this bait in its various forms in over a year of trying it never caught a single fish ? That's in natural waters all over Ireland even wild fowl wouldn't look at it! maybe it works in muddy commercial ponds in England on farm reared carp ? but a complete waste of money trying to use on wild fish no matter how much you pre bait.
