Big River Barbel Dumbbell Hookbaits 10x12mm

Mainline Big River Barbel Dumbbell Hookbaits 10x12mm are durable hookbaits specially developed for barbel fishing in flowing water. Their compact dumbbell shape allows for precise presentation, while the high oil content creates a clear scent and flavour signal around the hookbait.

The hookbaits are made with the same high-quality ingredients as the Mainline Big River Barbel Mix. This ensures the groundbait and hookbait complement each other perfectly. The firm composition helps keep the bait intact when fishing in strong currents or waiting longer for a bite.
