We have recently been given the pleasure of being able to test various baits offered by the popular bait company, SBS Baits.
Their presence within the Carping fraternity is well-known and the bait range they offer caters for all types of carp fishing.
SBS Baits have over 30 years of experience in the bait industry and their reputation has been earned by providing quality products to anglers all over the world. From their office in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, they produce a huge range of products such as boilies, base mixes, attractants, glugs, dips and pellets.
For the record, we have not been paid to write this review and it is our honest opinion based on the service received, quality of bait on arrival and the results achieved on the bank. As you will see below, we have put each product through its paces and here are our findings.
Our bait arrived within two days of ordering and was well packaged.
The service received from Des Taylor of SBS was simply excellent.
In order to get a good all-round feel for their products, we ordered the following:
- Monument M1 6mm Pellet 1kg
- Monument M1 Long Life Boilies 1kg Bag
- Monument M1 Bait Dip 250ml
- Monument M1 Paste
The chosen venue for the review was Culcreuch Castle Loch (A.K.A Fintry) which is a water set in the grounds of a sixteenth century castle which now run as a hotel and is based in Fintry, Stirlingshire.
The chosen swim was the lochside car park swim which allows easy casting to margins and lillies. 
The first item put to the test was the Monument M1 boilies and Monument M1 Bait Dip.
Upon opening the glug, the aroma reminded me of a mixture of Bacon and Tomato Ketchup ! The texture of this stuff is seriously thick and will stick to anything…simply excellent !
For maximum impact, we added a PVA bag of Monument M1 pellet which was again soaked in the bait dip… 
The initial cast was placed straight in front just off the lillies to the right hand side.
The second rod was prepared making good use of the paste. The paste was used as a boilie wrap and was presented on a single boilie hair rig.
The paste supplied is the same paste used to produce Monument M1 boilies…the only difference is it hasn’t been boiled !
This makes it an excellent addition to the boilies as it breaks down quicker in the water.
The overall outcome of the few hours we had produced little apart from a few line bites and a single run. The quality of the bait we received was excellent and with more testing time, I am positive that the Monument M1 range will produce large catches again and again.
The smell and substance of the glug and paste gives you the confidence to try different methods of bait presentation.
We are going to continue testing this bait over the course of the next few months and will post details of any catches here.
Our conclusion on the Monument M1 bait range is that it is simply excellent.
Des Taylor and the team over at SBS Baits have tried to cater for all methods of carp fishing and I would say that they have achieved this…
Keep up the good work lads, I am definitely a future customer
