Built for the hook, not the spod
Hook baits do a different job to feed, so they're made differently - tougher, balanced to sit how you need them, and carrying more attractant than the bait around them.

When carp are feeding off the bottom, take your hookbait to them. Magic Bean Zigs – Mystic Fruits are high-buoyancy 13mm zig hookbaits, designed to hold your presentation up in the water column while steadily releasing fruity attraction.
Infused with a blend of fruity esters, they combine a distinctive flavour profile with lasting buoyancy for extended periods in the water.
Every pot is a mix of colours, so you can swap between a dark bait and a brighter one as the light, water clarity and depth change. Want one colour that really leaks? Our Leaky Zigs come in red or yellow.
From winter zigging to targeting carp cruising in the upper layers, Magic Bean Zigs give you an alternative when bottom baits aren’t producing. Their buoyancy supports a consistent presentation at your chosen zig depth when paired with a suitable hook and hooklink.

From balance and buoyancy through to flavour matching - see what goes into every wafter, pop-up and hard hooker
Hook baits do a different job to feed, so they're made differently - tougher, balanced to sit how you need them, and carrying more attractant than the bait around them.
Match The Hatch pop-ups and wafters carry the OG Fish and OG Fruit & Nut profiles, so the hook bait reads as part of the free offerings rather than the odd one out.
Pop-up, wafter, bottom bait or hard hooker - pick the buoyancy to suit the lake bed and the rig, from sat proud over silt to pinned flat on gravel.
Supercharged Hard Hookers hold up through nuisance fish and long waits, so you're not reeling in at first light to find a bare hook.
Every bait carries a heavy attract load that keeps working long after it's gone in — and takes a soak well if you want to push it further.
The choice is really about how the bait sits and how much it stands out. Pop-ups for silt, weed and chod rigs — up and visible. Wafters for a balanced bait that gets sucked in like a free offering. Bottom baits over a clean spot. Hard hookers for nuisance fish and long night waits.
Our best-selling combination — OG Fish on the deck, Magic Bean wafters on the hook and Monster Crab Flat Spot to pull them in. Build all three into a bundle and save against buying them separately.
