Parker Baits Boilies – OG Fruit & Nut – Shelf Life – 18mm – 1kg

Parker Baits OG Fruit & Nut Shelf Life Boilies – 18mm – 1kg

The “Snickers” of the Carp World – High-Performance Nutrition in Every Bag

Exclusively at Gerry’s Fishing, the OG Fruit & Nut range is the ultimate choice for anglers who want a bait that smells as good as it performs. Often likened to a classic Snickers bar, this bait combines a mouth-watering aroma of Chocolate, Orange, Peanut, and Coconut with a nutritional profile that keeps carp coming back for more.

Unlike standard shelf-life baits that are often over-boiled and rubbery, Parker Baits uses a unique steaming process. By steaming instead of boiling, they retain up to 55% more nutrients, ensuring the high-quality peanut proteins, tiger nuts, and birdseeds remain active and attractive. These boilies are then double-dusted and cured, creating a microscopic layer of 20+ food particles that start working the moment they hit the water.

Why Choose OG Fruit & Nut?

• Unbeatable Digestion: The nut and birdseed base is incredibly easy for carp to process, making it the perfect year-round bait—though it truly excels in the colder months.

• The “Steamed” Difference: Steaming locks in essential oils and vitamins that are normally lost in the boiling process, resulting in a softer, more potent bait.

• Double-Dusted Attraction: Every boilie is coated twice with fine food particles, ensuring an instant “fume” of attraction upon entering the swim.

• Shelf-Life Convenience: No freezer required! These are perfect for keeping in the van or for long sessions where freezer space is limited.

How to Get the Best Results with 18mm OG Fruit & Nut

1. The “Washed-Out” Winter Approach

In winter, carp can be wary of large piles of fresh bait. Take a handful of these 18mm boilies and soak them in lake water for 12 hours before your session. This softens the outer “dusting” and gives the bait a “safe,” washed-out appearance that tricks big, nomadic residents into feeding with confidence.

2. The “Stick” Attack

The 18mm size is the perfect weight for a throwing stick. Because these are shelf-life, they have a slightly firmer skin than freezer baits, allowing you to catapult or stick them to long-range spots without the bait splitting in mid-air. Use them to create a wide “scatter” of bait to keep fish moving and searching.

3. The “Crumb & Whole” Spod Mix

For a devastating spod mix, take 50% of your 1kg bag and put them through a bait crush or food processor to create a fine crumb. Mix this with the remaining 50% whole 18mm boilies and a healthy dose of Parker Baits Fruity Flat Spot. The crumb creates an instant cloud, while the 18mm baits provide a solid meal to hold the fish on your spot.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The 18mm size is a fantastic “big fish” sorter. If you find yourself plagued by smaller fish on 14mm baits, switching to a single or double 18mm OG Fruit & Nut bottom bait can often be the key to picking out the larger, more cautious carp.
