Vortex Baits

This is exactly how a barbel should return to the water, strong, bright and well rested, what a superb fish! #vortexbaitsofficial #fishinglife #banklife #angling #fishingislife #teamvortex

Well good morning all! We aren’t quite sure where our time off has gone – oh wait, we do, catching some lovely Barbel! We have had a ridiculous number of orders flying in too from folks happy to wait a week, as well as way too many customers turning up to HQ 🫣. Our orders are typically prepped and packed on Tuesday, for collection on Wednesday, for Delivery on Thursday & Friday, so as far as online orders go, it’s now business as usual! Our HQ reopens officially again on Tuesday – please call us first as we get very busy and can only fit so many cars on the yard 😅 Happy Thursday all! #vortexbaitsofficial

Wrapping up this absolute feast of catch reports is our man @trent_angler_barbelfishing and this absolute jackpot of 3 barbel! Weeks and weeks of prep went into this opening session, Craig had been working tirelessly at HQ, and squeezing in time to gently introduce some bait to the favoured swim, as well as getting some gym sessions in ready for some arm aching action on the river! As always, Craig’s bait of choice was the amazing T.H.C. Boosted Cocoon Specials, with a paste wrap! This trio, crowned by a mighty 14lb 11oz creature, were the best of a 4 barbel & chub haul! What a way to start the season! Pure magic Craig! https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #vortexbaitsofficial #teamvortex #hydroshrimp #furterpellet #rivertrent #barbelfishing #river #lovefishing #angler #hydroshrimp #cocoonboilies #boostedcocoonspecials #fishingislife #fishinglife #fishing #instafish #angling #fishpics #follow #banklife #riverfishing #fishingrod #fishingrods #fishing🎣 #fishingtrip #angling #fishingday #Insectomorph #barbelfishingcompetitions #cko #picoftheday #fish

Now back with a spring in his step, or a snap in his crocs is our man @elliotts_trentlife with his opening session on the mighty Middle Trent! After a few weeks of careful prep, interwoven between some of the busiest we’ve been at HQ, it was very much Harvest time! After the obligatory Chub hitting the net, patience was rewarded by way of this Quartet of Quality Barbel! The biggest being a barnstorming 14lb 8oz of pure Trent muscle, this one insisted on giving Jay a whistle stop guided tour of all of her favourite snags, before calling it quits! Our C.K.O. & Insecto-Morph Boosted Cocoon specials, along with paste wraps bringing the noise! Absolute class https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #vortexbaitsofficial #teamvortex #hydroshrimp #furterpellet #rivertrent #barbelfishing #river #lovefishing #angler #hydroshrimp #cocoonboilies #boostedcocoonspecials #fishingislife #fishinglife #fishing #instafish #angling #fishpics #follow #banklife #riverfishing #fishingrod #fishingrods #fishing🎣 #fishingtrip #angling #fishingday #Insectomorph #barbelfishingcompetitions #cko #picoftheday #fish
