The buzz created by the announcement that Marukyu, Japan’s biggest bait manufacturer is coming to the UK is amazing. Everybody wants to try these baits that they’ve read so much about.

Maryuku is a 100 year old company and the world’s largest bait producing company. Their state of the art computerised factory is an amazing sight (watch the video below), and all of their baits are scientifically blended from a host of natural ingredients. All of the baits are fish and environmentally friendly, designed by biologists with both the angler and the fish themselves in mind.

The Marukyu philosophy is based on three key points

• The bait must have an appeal to fish and it must catch them

• The bait must be friendly to the global environment and help to maintain nature’s ecosystems

• The bait must be easy to use and must offer value for money

Marukyu’s assorted bait is all made of safe materials, from nature or food materials. It is nutritious and safe for our fish and the environment as well as for the microorganisms that are needed in the water to keep our fish fit and healthy.

Part of the Marukyu UK team is well-known fishery scientist Dr Bruno Broughton. In common with other experts around the world, Bruno appreciates that the scientific approach is the only way to produce exceptional fishing baits. Here’s his explanation:

“Many of the baits and groundbaits sold in the UK have been developed and refined from a limited number of templates. Many share similar characteristics and, sometimes, the same ingredients. This can prove to be a problem when they are used because – especially on pressurised venues – fish learn to associate their characteristics with danger. This can be a smell, a taste, a colour or a consistency, but the outcome is the same…fish will avoid or ignore these baits.

“The beauty of Marukyu products is that they were developed independently, in another continent, but for species that we have in the UK. The original nature of their composition and characteristics means that British fish cannot have the usual points of reference, which might spell ‘danger’. Anglers haven’t seen there like before… and neither have the fish!”

SFA441 - Ground Sanagi (Silkworm Pupae)

Fish from the carp family are the main target of Asian fishermen, so it’s no surprise that baits designed for the UK market, but including ingredients such as Silkworm Pupae (Sanagi), Water Snails (Tanishi) and Seaweed (Nori) have all proven to be extremely successful in field testing trials here in the UK.

The complete UK range of Marukyu groundbaits, pellets, pastes, boilies and flavourings are now in stock and available to buy online.
