BaitTech Buying Guide: Which Baits Are Right for You?

BaitTech has built a serious reputation among UK coarse anglers — and for good reason. Their baits are consistently high quality, well-priced, and genuinely effective on the bank. But with a wide range covering groundbaits, pellets, hookbaits, and liquids, it can be hard to know where to start. This guide breaks it all down.

BaitTech for Carp Fishing

If you're targeting carp — whether on commercials or natural venues — BaitTech's Krill & Tuna and Pro Natural Dark groundbaits are go-to choices. They bind well, break down at the right rate, and pull fish into your swim without overfeeding them. Pair with BaitTech's Krill pellets in 4mm or 6mm for a devastating method feeder or pellet waggler setup.

Best for: Method feeder, pellet waggler, margin fishing

BaitTech for F1s

F1s respond brilliantly to lighter, more digestible baits. BaitTech's Special G range — particularly Special G Gold and Special G Dark — are firm favourites on F1 venues. They're fine enough to fish shallow or on the deck, and the fish absolutely love them.

Best for: Shallow fishing, cupping in, short pole lines

BaitTech for Silvers

For roach, skimmers, and bream, you want something that creates a cloud and holds fish in the swim. Supercrumb and Bream & Skimmer groundbaits tick both boxes. Add a few dead maggots or casters to the mix and you've got a winning combination for a silvers match.

Best for: Waggler, light feeder, canal fishing

BaitTech Pellets: Which Size?

• 2mm micro pellets — ideal for cupping in or mixing into groundbait for silvers and F1s
• 4mm pellets — the most versatile size; works on the method, in a feeder, or on the hook
• 6mm pellets — great for bigger carp, margin fishing, or when you want to slow the feeding down
• 8mm+ pellets — targeting specimen carp or fishing a big bait approach

BaitTech Hookbaits

BaitTech's wafters, corn, and soft hookers are designed to match their groundbaits and pellets perfectly. If you're fishing a Krill-based mix, go for a Krill wafter on the hook. Matching your hookbait to your feed is one of the simplest ways to improve your catch rate.

Which BaitTech Product Should You Start With?

If you're new to the brand and want one bag to try first, go for Pro Natural Dark. It's versatile enough to use on almost any venue, works for carp and silvers alike, and gives you a solid base to build a mix around. From there, explore the Special G range for F1 venues and the Krill products for dedicated carp sessions.
