Designed to meet the demands of modern feeder fishing, Sonubaits Super Feeder Dark is the go-to groundbait for clear or shallow venues where standard, lighter mixes might spook wary fish.

Pro Tips for Your Session
-
Venue Suitability: The “Dark” variant is specifically formulated for clear water or shallow commercial pegs. In these conditions, fish are often wary of light-colored groundbait beds; the dark finish helps your feed blend into the bottom, keeping fish down and feeding longer.
-
Customizing the Mix: If you are fishing at long range or in deeper water and need your groundbait to stick in the feeder until it hits the bottom, add a small amount of Sonubaits Groundbait and Pellet Binder. This allows you to tailor the “stickiness” of the mix without losing the attractive, fluffy breakdown properties.
-
The Riddle Rule: For the best performance, always pass your mixed groundbait through a riddle. This removes any larger clumps, creating a uniform, light texture that breaks down instantly once it leaves the feeder, creating a perfect cloud of attraction.
Where to Use
-
Clear Water: An essential choice when fish are shy and easily spooked by bright bait.
-
Shallow Venues: Perfect for commercials where the water is shallow and fish are nervous about feeding in the open.
-
Natural Lakes & Canals: Highly effective for roach and bream where you want to maintain a consistent, sweet-scented feeding area without drawing in unwanted attention.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is it suitable for Method Feeder work?
A: Yes, it is very effective for the Method Feeder. However, because it is inherently “fluffy,” we recommend adding a small amount of binder if you are casting long distances, ensuring the groundbait remains securely molded around the feeder during the cast.
Q: What is the ideal mixing ratio?
A: A 2kg bag works perfectly with approximately 2 pints of water. Add the water in stages, mix thoroughly, and then let it rest for 30 minutes. This allows the particles to fully absorb the moisture. After resting, check the consistency—if it feels too dry, add a small splash more water until you achieve the perfect binding texture.
Q: Can I mix this with other groundbaits?
A: Absolutely. Super Feeder Dark serves as a fantastic base. You can blend it with fishmeal-based mixes or crushed pellets to create a custom groundbait that suits the specific requirements of your venue or the species you are targeting.
