Gerry’s A La Cart Streamline Bait Mesh & Plunger (15mm) – The Ultimate Bait Protection by Gerry’s Fishing

When it comes to presenting delicate or “messy” baits in a high-energy surf environment, the Gerry’s A La Cart Streamline Bait Mesh is an essential tool for the serious shore angler. Specifically designed to handle “Crab Cart,” chopped bait cocktails, and small particles, this system allows you to create neat, aerodynamic bait “sausages” that stay secure during even the most powerful long-distance casts.

Unlike PVA mesh used in carp fishing, this is a non-dissolving super-fine nylon mesh. It is built to survive the saltwater environment, holding your bait together against the “peck” of nuisance fish and the force of the tide. This 15mm version is the perfect “streamline” diameter, ensuring your bait doesn’t create excessive drag through the air, helping you hit those crucial distant marks.

Precision Bait Presentation

Super-Fine Nylon Weave: The mesh is fine enough to hold liquid-heavy baits like crab cart while still allowing the scent and juices to leak out and attract fish.
Non-Dissolving Protection: Ideal for long-soak baits. It adds a layer of protection against “crabs” and small fish that would otherwise strip your hook bare in minutes.
Complete System: Comes with the loading tube and a dedicated plunger, making it easy to compress your bait for a firm, professional finish.
Streamlined 15mm Diameter: Specifically sized to keep your bait profile slim, which is vital for achieving maximum distance when beachcasting.
Cost-Effective: Includes 5 metres of mesh to get you started, with affordable spares available once you’ve used it up.

How to Use the A La Cart Bait Mesh System

Using this system is simple and results in a perfectly presented bait every time:

The Base Knot: Tie a small overhand knot at the end of the mesh.
The Fill: Load your chosen bait through the top of the 15mm tube.
The Plunge: Use the included plunger to push the bait down and compress it into the mesh at the bottom.
The Seal: Tie a second knot at the top to seal the “pouch” and cut it free.
The Hook: Simply pass your hook through the mesh or use bait elastic to secure the mesh pouch to your hook shank.

Where to Use the 15mm Bait Mesh

The 15mm size is the specialist’s choice for refined shore tactics:

Crab Cart Fishing: The absolute “gold standard” for presenting crab cart. It keeps the messy bait together and protects it from being washed out by the surf.
Distance Casting for Cod: Create slim “sausages” of lugworm and squid that won’t blow apart during a 100+ yard cast.
Nuisance Fish Protection: If you are plagued by “shannies” or small whitings, the mesh provides a barrier that gives the bigger fish a chance to find your bait.
High-Scent Cocktails: Pack it with chopped mussels, liver, or oily fish pieces to create a high-leakage scent trail.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When using this for Crab Cart, try adding a small piece of foam or a “float” bead inside the mesh pouch. This will lift your bait off the seabed slightly, keeping it away from shore crabs and making it even more visible to passing Bass and Cod
