Developed by Des Shipp to catch F1s and carp in commercial waters – F1 Original has become a revolution among modern fishmeal based mash.

It has also proven very effective on bream-like species such as skimmers. Since its launch, the F1 Groundbait has become the obvious choice for many top anglers and has proven extremely effective in competitions on a variety of waters.

By combining our unique blend of sweet attractant with fishmeal and crushed pellets, we have created a mash that starts delivering right from the first cast and has a long-lasting ability to keep fish in your swim.

Sonubaits was the first to introduce a sweet fishmeal mash designed specifically for F1s and skimmers – the original and still the best.

The mash is easy to mix, binds well to a method feeder and breaks down quickly thanks to the carefully selected ingredients. The fine fish meal particles create an inactive mixture when moistened, which means that the feed breaks down quickly around the hook. It can also be formed into balls or fed as "slop".

F1 Original is part of a larger range of hook baits, feed pellets, pastes and liquids – all can be used individually or in combination with other baits.

Des Shipp (England international) says:
“If I know the match is going to be won with large amounts of F1s and skimmers on the rod, I mix up a bag of F1 Groundbait as soon as I get to my spot.”
