Joe Carass checks out the latest bait development from Japanese bait giant Marukyu. Is there such thing as a wonder bait? Over my years in angling I have seen all manner of weird and wonderful baits come along that are supposedly the ‘next big thing’, and guaranteed to put more fish in the net. But let’s be honest, most of these things catch the angler and not the fish and most are no more successful than the last big thing. When I first saw JPz I must admit to thinking that same thought that I’d had many times before.
