Canal ace Mark Pollard rates Supermatch as his favourite shallow water groundbait.
Van den Eynde Supermatch always forms the base of my canal groundbait. I love it because it's fine, dark and doesn't fill the fish up while producing a cloud from the bottom or the surface depending on how it's mixed.
I'll use it on its own in clear water although on canals affected by boat traffic I will add smaller portions of Van den Eynde Crushed Hemp, Supercup and Pigeon. These three help the mix to bind a bit as well as drawing fish back to the swim once a boat has passed. The proportions are: one bag Supermatch, half a bag Crushed Hemp, a quarter bag Supercup and quarter bag Pigeon Sh*t.
After this you may need to add a little more water to achieve the perfect texture. Once your happy, shake it through a maggot riddle and it's ready. This mix is at its best in depths between 18 inches and 5 feet.
Used on its own, Super Match will provide brilliant results and it can also be mixed with other Van Den Eynde products to tackle more specific water conditions.
