Embracing Reservoirs
Reservoirs are characterized by their large, deep bodies of water with limited current. This creates a more controlled fishing environment but can also mean fish are more dispersed. Baits here need to be attractive over a wide area and maintain their appeal for longer periods. The often clearer and colder waters require baits that are both visually and olfactorily enticing.

Baiting Rates & Techniques
Mastering Reservoir Dynamics:
While current isn't a factor, reservoir conditions can fluctuate significantly. Here's how to optimize your HookSure strategy:
- Thermal Stratification: Reservoirs often exhibit thermal stratification, with warmer water near the surface and colder water at depth. Fish tend to congregate in specific temperature zones. Research your target species' preferred temperature and choose HookSure attractants accordingly.
- Stocking & Baitfish: Reservoirs are often stocked with specific fish species. Research what baitfish are present and choose HookSure attractants that mimic their scent and profile. If you are in search of a particular species you can find out what product was formulated for them, or which ones have been caught by our customers using the flavour, in the menu above.
- Angling Pressure: Reservoirs can experience high fishing pressure. HookSure's unique formulas, can create a powerful scent trail that cuts through competition and attracts fish weary of regular baits.
By understanding reservoir dynamics, you can leverage HookSure attractants to outsmart wary fish and maximize your success in these still waters.
Please note, all of our products may require more frequent refreshing when fishing in the upper strata of reservoirs during the hot summer months.
