Expo has been my favourite grounbait for tench for more than a decade. It all started in the early days of Willow Park. Thiswas, and still is, a venue dominated by large shoals of tench and to a lesser extent, crucian carp.
The method was to use fairly large quantities of groundbait, feeding small firm balls very regularly. The first time I visited Willow, the locals told me that red groundbait was definitely best. With this in mind, I decided that I would try Expo and really could not believe how good it was for tench.
Expo is a sweet grounbait that is easy to mix to a firm texture and will go down to the bottom with one good squeeze. It contains a lot of molasses which gives it it's sweet aroma and I would certainly recommend taking a bag of Expo if you are going tench fishing.
IDEAL USES
Stillwater fisheries of reasonable depth, i.e. 6ft or more, with a good head of bream, carp and tench. It's bright crimson colour is attractive to all these species. Expo works very well used by itself and is a particularly good mix for days when there's a need to put plenty of groundbait and loose offerings into the water. It's a well proven groundbait with a consistancy which allows it to introduced by hand or through a feeder.
