Ultrabite Pheremone attractant.

[Pablo]

Hello fellow anglers,

 

I'm new to this forum and would like your opinions please on the above.

 

Now, BEFORE some of us get all high and mighty with, 'This is a fly forum not bait' attitude, let me explain - I came across Ultrabite in my local tackle store here in Newcastle upon Tyne a few months ago and bought some. For those who don't know it's a liquid that you apply to your flies. It was developed by scientists to increase the feeding signals in game fish being reared in cages, therefore reducing wastage of pellets and subsequent disease.

 

Now, I've tried it for both salmon & trout with varied sucess (after checking with the owner/bailiff beforehand). My questions is, has anyone else used it, do you think it works and how would you know?

 

I look forward to your comments gentlemen. But please lets keep an open mind.

I haven't tried it but have thought about using it in other fishing scenarios e.g. Pike Deadbaits. So how did you fare using it?

Tinca, I did ok when I used it at Fontburn Reservoir in Northumberland late last season (Fontburn is a multi bait fishery), but so did my mate,who wasn't using it. Both taking 4 fish to a total 14lb ish, mainly on bibio, shipmans & CDC's. So our results where inconclusive to say the least.

 

My results for salmon mean nothing, as I caught nothing when I've used it.
