Quest Baits announce Chubby Chops

Following on from the amazing response and captures on their Barbel Chops, Quest have decided to release Chubby Chops earlier than they had intended.

Based around the chub’s renowned love of cheese, Chubby Chops are very quickly digested, yellow in colour and contain a real smooth pleasant tasting cheese powder combined with a smelly cheese attractant amongst other things. 091114chubbychops_589500199.jpg

To compliment the keg shaped pellets there’s the usual paste, hook bait dip and bait glug.

The only problem Quest has experienced with Chubby Chops so far is that the carp & barbel love them too!

When I saw that thread title I thought Wol was up for sale :p These Quest people certainly come up with some innovative baits don't they and I know for a fact that a lot of match anglers prefer their gear to other makers which says to me it is good stuff, they are very picky about whats good and bad. These certainly look the business but the one drawback they might have for chub fishing is they have to be hair rigged, not my first choice for catching wily old chub.

I will give them a 'looking at' the next time I'm in the tackle shop, but unless they can be side hooked (i.e. soft enough) then I'll leave them on the shelf. Quest do make some very good baits though. PS: I think you are both being perfectly horrid to our Wol, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if you've actually hurt his feelings now - you beastly boys you.

I don't really understand what you're saying about my mate Wol. Do you mean he's a fat tit now, or is just round and rubbery?

I understand what you're both saying and I have that same problem with chub a lot of the time, but in their defence, and I have yet to see them, you could always band them directly to the bottom or side of the hook. My best ever chub was caught on a hair rigged pellet. There's always one to break the rule.

From the shape, they look like they are perfect for a two band approach - one band held in place by the whipping and one band on the bend/bottom of shank. I think someone (Graham or John Conway???) illustrated this in the rigs pages once. I'll have a look... ---------- Post added at 10:58 ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 ---------- Here's The Banded Pellet Rig and Hacket's Sliding Hair Rig

Back on subject! I've just tried the Barbel Chops and I'm not sure about them..... The problem is that they soften up after an hour and chub bite them off the hair. You get a quick pull round of the tip and wind back in to find no bait. As the Chubby Chops are identical except for flavour and colour it doesn't bode well! They are too hard to side hook, but they will band on to a largish hook. I've always been a fan of Quest boilies, but I can't really see the point of these - maybe southern jessies fish differently than we do up here? :confused:

If you soaked them in their respective glugs would that not harden them? Or could you leave one or two on the side to dry out before your trip?

I once made some cheesepaste boilies with the help of Frothey's advice and though they collapsed into an irregular flattish pancake shape in the boiling water they were easily hookable and stayed on the hook. The chub and barbel loved them too but silly me forgot how I did it so I havn't been able to make any more. Perhaps I will email Quest baits with a suggestion about producing a hookable version of this chubby chops one.

Or could you leave one or two on the side to dry out before your trip? it's the other way around - some anglers want them hookable so you want them softer. you could leave them in water to soften them up a bit, but you'll lose some of the attractor. if you noticed though, they do a matching paste, you could just roll some of this and "skin" it for soft hookable "pellets".....

Try banding them tight to the shank of say a size 12 Korum S3 (so there is no gap) and then wrapping them in matching paste. This method as produced a lot of double figure barbel for me and quite a few nice chub over the last few seasons.

Cakey Do you wrap the boilie/paste in a piece of material from some tights to give it some 'armoured coating'?
Cakey on 20/11/2009 10:00:24

yes and yes ---------- Post added at 10:00 ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 ---------- cant find no links today ........any one know where Frotheys link is to his wifes red tights ?

How do you tie it? Do you only use the toe end bits or do you manage to use the gusset and other bits?
Cakey on 20/11/2009 10:13:52

mmmmm gusset bit depends on the masking effect on the smell of the baits...........hold on while I find Frotheys article ---------- Post added at 10:11 ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 ---------- The Rigs Page - The Stocking Rig - FishingMagic Online Fishing Magazine. ---------- Post added at 10:13 ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 ---------- Ive used it on solar baits red herring that were far to soft for france . mind you got some funny looks in the french supermarket buying tights !

WOT! No high heels? Baits in tights - Whatever will they think of next? Would adding a bit of lipstick encourage even more takes do you think?

ooops off subject again the rubbery tit will be here soon Now stop it Cakey, and it's TWIT, T - W - I - T, or are you one of those who can't pwonounce their Ws or Rs? I thought Wol told me that the funniest looks you got was when you tried to buy the matching knickers . Don't you go encouraging him Jacobs. Back on topic - If they break down after an hour, then why no replace them after 45 minutes? Good idea though wrapping them in paste. And I might try Fwothy's idea of skinning some paste. Did I say Fwathy? Sorry Mr Wothewy.

Did I say Fwathy? Sorry Mr Wothewy. If I were to try this I think I'd go for wrapping them too. by the way: Cakey has no problem with W's at all, but he did say that all your R's were capitals - well, he actually said you had a big R's so I think he meant capitals . . . . . . . . . . . . and when Wol gets back methinks he is going to kick Cakey's R's too . . . . . . .

The issue is not that I have to recast after 45 minutes - the baits last a lot longer than that if you don't get a bite. The problem is what do you do when you get a pull from a chub. Do you leave it or has the bait been chomped? In many instances I want my bait out there until I get a barbel as I don't want to put any more feed in and/or I don't want to disturb the swim. I agree that banding the baits on will result in more chub hook-ups. I just wonder how these chops are intended to be used - surely not on a hair for chub?
