Belachan

Belachan is highly digestible, full of amino acids and has a very strong shellfish aroma. It is said to be one of the best-kept secrets of Carp Fishing. Made from fermented shrimp which is sun dried, Belachan is cut into rectangular blocks and is primarily used in Asian cooking. Though there are no clear origins of Belachan, one possibility is that this dying method is used by Asian fishermen to preserve their catch. This fermented shrimp now comes in different forms such as paste, which is its original form, and a liquid or a dry powder for use in boilies etc.   

For quite a long time, I have been using Belachan in my boilies, and have come up with overwhelming results. I have also tried using it in my stick mixes and method mix which also came up with great results. For many years, belachan has been used by top carp anglers who also seen devastating results and have avoided others finding out, but it seems this method is no longer a secret, with a growing number of bait companies making Belachan products every day and selling them to the masses. Solars liquid Balachan was recently tested by CARPology in their tank test experiment and it scored 5 out of 5. I suggest that you go and give it a try yourself and make your own decision before it is too late and everyone including his dog has used it to death and it becomes a danger food to fish.  

Belachan can be purchased in its original past form from your local Asian food store cheaper than what you can buy from local tackle shop. Try visiting this link,www.aabaits.co.uk, for all your Belachan needs. I recommend this site since they offer belachan products with competitive prices and stock them in all its form.
