Product Info
Below are some of are common questions about our products
What makes your berley different?
Our berley is made from real fish protein and oil, not just stockfeed with a fishy scent. It’s clean, dry, and doesn’t need a freezer. It's also made with NZ products, how good.
Is the bait really shelf-stable?
Yep. The pellets, oil, and gel are all shelf-stable. The salted mackerel can be stored cool and dry, or frozen if you want to keep it longer. No more needing a bait freezer 24/7.
Does it smell?
No strong odour. Unlike frozen bait or blocks, our bait is designed to be easy to handle and doesn’t stink out your car or bin.
How much should I use?
Depends on the product. A few handfuls of berley will set a solid trail. One fillet is enough for a session. The bait gel only needs a dab — a little goes a long way.
Can I use the gel with soft bait?
Absolutely. That’s exactly what it’s made for. It’s sticky, holds scent well, and helps turn follows into strikes.
Usage & Tips
Helpful info on how to store and use your bait — plus answers to a few fishing-specific questions.
How should I store the bait?
Keep everything cool, dry, and out of direct sun. Once opened, mackerel is best kept in the fridge. The rest is good to go in the tackle box or boot without any fuss.
Can I use your products off a boat or from shore?
Totally. Everything in the range is tested for surfcasting, straylining, and dropping baits from the boat. Doesn’t matter how you fish, it’ll do the job.
Are your products safe for the environment?
Yes. We use by-products that would’ve otherwise gone to waste, and our packaging is minimal and easy to reuse or recycle. We fish here too, so we look after it.
Can I use this bait in freshwater?
No — our products are made for saltwater fishing only. Using berley or scent-based bait in freshwater is not allowed in many areas under Fish & Game New Zealand rules.
