Richworth were the first company to produce boilies over twenty years ago, and with great success have expanded this range to include over 25 different flavours, many of which have been there from day one.

One of the most successful has been Tutti Frutti, in fact it's probably one of the most successful carp boilies of all time. Many companies have tried to copy this flavour but to no avail. The main reason for this is that 90% of flavours we produce are blended by ourselves and all are tested to extremes which, in turn, enables you to be 100% confident in any bag of Richworth bait that you may choose.

A particle binder designed originally for pellets that works on most dry particles. Sprinkle a small amount on slightly damp baits, wait a few minutes for Sticko to work and then ball up your particles for maximum feeding distance. 500g

There are various types of halibut pellets available, black and brown, hard and soft, high oil and low oil. We've taken the guesswork out of which one is the best by testing all of them to find out which one catches time and time again, so you can be assured you are using the right one. The only choice you have to make is what size?

Micro are designed for feeding, 14mm for feeding and for on the hook and 20mm for hookbaits. As with most hard pellets they can be drilled and attached as a boilie on a hair or by using a bait band.

ActiveXtracts are a bit special. They are baits that can be used when the chips are down and bites are really diffi cult to tempt or whenever you think that the fi sh might not want to feed on huge beds of bait.

Think of it - a paste that can be rolled into a ball, left to air dry, bounced off a work surface, hair rigged like a boilie and then, when it is immersed in water, breaks down at a controlled rate.

When hair rigged, ActiveXtracts shrink slightly, gripping the hair, yet the outside of the bait exudes a halo of flavour.

ActiveXtracts work because they are pure, natural powders containing ridiculously high levels of protein and because they provide carp with high levels of nutrition without needing to introduce huge amounts of bait. Because carp and other cyprinids have highly advanced chemo reception systems they can detect the goodness in ActiveXtracts before they ingest them. Not a bait to pile in, but one to fish in conjunction with a two or three bait stringer.

Developed for carp, barbel and chub, the 5hr+ structure is suited to rivers, stalking and short sessions, whilst the 15hr+ is for longer sessions. A tub of ActiveXtracts makes, depending on the blend and liquid chosen, up to 200gms of finished product which equates to 50 x 18mm hook-baits.

Available in two flavours - Fish and also Fruit. Designed for the Richworth Method Feeder with good binding and feed carrying qualities. Easy to use, both versions contain top Richworth flavours for effective performance and are easy to mix.

Designed for stillwater species, Lake is a medium fine, versatile mix that is very active and works well in both feeder or balls. Mixes well with other groundbaits and is very successful for bream and roach. Can be mixed with brown crumb if required.

H1 AKTIVITY Richworth H1 Aktivity is a revolutionary groundbait that offers the feeder angler the ultimate attraction - incredible underwater activity. Once immersed, the mix reacts with water to produce a stream of tiny bubbles that lifts pieces of groundbait off the bottom before releasing them to fall enticingly back. In summer this activity pulls fish into the swim and encourages them into competitive feeding, whilst in winter the activity can stimulate non feeding fish into feeding. The best underwater activity you will ever see from the ultimate feeder groundbait!

Spray on flavours are ideal for carp, pleasure and match anglers to give all sorts of baits an additional boost. No mess, no fuss, baits can be flavoured at home, or on the bank, by simply spraying flavour straight from the can. Containing precise blends of flavours, oils and sweeteners you can use Spray On flavours liberally without fear of overflavouring the bait.

Daniël van Dijk (Holland)
I'm Daniël van Dijk, working as a town planner for the local government of The Hague. I was born in 1974 in Dordrecht. Not many years later my father took me to the water and I was caught by the fishing fever. It was in the year of 1987 when I started hunting specially for Carp. At first in the little city waters, later also in the Dutch rivers using the Richworth 50/50 ready-made base mix.

As soon as I got my drivers license, a new world of possibilities opened up. From that moment the Carps in France become a serious goal, making use of Ready-made boilies like Tutti Frutti and Crab & Mussel. The last years other countries like Italy, Spain and England produced my first carps. Since the ready-mades of com-plex got available, I'm using them with very got results. Last Christmas day I caught my first Dutch "Christmas-thirty", a 35 lbs common, on a 14 mm com-plex boilie. This year I got my first results on the new Ultra-plex and Tiger Nuts ready mades.

Next to enjoying the many adventures near the different waters in Europe, I also like the write about it in the Carp magazines. I also made a few slides-showes, witch I showed at several carp meetings in Holland, Belgium and this year also in Germany.

Enjoy your fishing! Daniël

Bas Timmer (Holland).
As can be expected, angling plays a major role in my life. Not only carp, predatory fish also warmthen my hart. Being Dutch this means mainly pike and in Holland we are fortunate to fish for huge pike in so many different types of water we can catch these green monsters the whole year around. Lures are my favorite bait and trolling my favorite method.

I like a bit of adventure in my fishing, no matter what species are being targeted. My greatest adventure was endured in Egypt. Fishing Lake Nasser for Nileperch is an intense experience, especialy after landing a 145 lbs Nileperch. The sheer strength and power of this fish I will never forget. I still feel the pain in the lower part of my back playing this fish.

Most of my carpangling nowadays brings me to France. Carp the much desired prey. The early part of the nineties brought me nothing but hardship and disappointments. But after a while, that turned out to be several years, the experiences started to pay off. I was actually starting to catch carp in mainly small sizes on mainly undiscovered waters. I kept on going and the sizes kept growing making me a happy angler.

Untill I changed jobs, leaving a carp-only tackle shop, my new job allowed me to spend less time on the banks. So my fishing changed, from pursuing big carp it turned to leisurely angling, the target having a good time.

My baits changed too, no more hours in a stinking kitchen rolling baits, I changed to the brand where quality counts. And somehow(or logically?) these bags started to perform miracles. Crab & Mussel are my favorites, I have lost count on the number of carp me and my mates caught on this fine bait.

The greatest miracle, carpangling wise, came in 2004. Some handfuls of 20 mm Crab & Mussels underneath a Complex pop-up produced me my finest hour as a carpangler and strenghtening my motto: "When in doubt, buy confidence in a bag!"

The step from using ready-made boilies to making your own baits is an easy one and Richworth provide everything you need to create an attractive bait with the minimum of fuss. In fact all you need to make your own boilies is a bag of base mix, a few eggs, fl avours and your imagination! Using the finest ingredients ensures that the finished bait not only has a balanced food profile, but can also be rolled easilly. Our fishmeal mixes for example not only contain the highest quality finely meshed meals, they're also guaranteed to give maximum flavour leakage and combine a number of individual ingredients, including milk proteins, to ensure maximum digestibility and a high food value. The Birdfood mixes have added ingredients which makes rolling very simple and the Milk Protein mixes are made from milk proteins imported from New Zealand - regarded as the worlds best source. There are ten different mixes in the range including the new Ultraplex mix and five 'fail safe' pop-up mixes, all of which can be flavoured, coloured and enhanced with Richworth Additives to give your bait its own individual label.

Ultra-Plex: as with Com-Plex the highly regarded Robin Red is present at optimum levels but with the addition of many pure natural ingredients. This bait is in a class of its own.

Com-plex: Com-plex contains 14 natural ingredients including optimum amounts of Robin Red. The Com-plex Liquid Additive enhances the base mix further and finishes off the bait perfectly.

Multi-plex: Multi-plex has been a huge success for anglers. This is the full version we use for our own boilies with nothing left out and it's stunning.

Bio-plex: Bio-plex is an excellent combination of the very best fish attractors and additives combined with a natural marine base. Bio-plex is so advanced all it needs in addition to the base mix is the liquid additive.

Bird Food Mix: a blend of milk proteins, binders, minerals, vitamins and a top quality, yellow rearing food.

Fishmeal Mix: a blend of special fine quality fishmeal for maximum digestibility fishmeals, proteins and binders.

Big Fish Mix: a fishmeal mix with a difference. Has a lower fat content that is nutritionally beneficial. A great winter bait.

Low Fat Ultra Mix: highly digestible, combines milk proteins, binding ingredients and our secret compound 94 fishmeal.

50/50 Gold: a mixture of milk proteins, vitamealo and binding ingredients. Has all the qualities of our original 50/50, but with a higher food profile.

50/50 Mix: the original and still the best bulk mix for anglers who use large quantities.

Available in:

Ultra-Plex, Com-Plex, Bio-Plex, Multi-plex, Bird Food Mix, Fish Meal Mix, Big Fish Mix, Low-Fat Ultra Mix deze zijn verkrijgbaar in 2,5 kilo 5 kilo en 10 kilo

50/50 Gold, 50/50 deze zijn verkrijgbaar in 500g 2kilo 6 kilo en 10 kilo

Ultra-Plex Liquid Additive, Com-Plex Liquid Additive, Bio-Plex Liquid deze zijn verkrijgbaar in 250 ml

These baits are made in the same way as normal shelf-life baits and by using exactly the same ingredients. They are 14mm in diameter and about 20mm long, thus having a larger surface area than a 14mm boilie so the leak-off of flavour and attractors is greatly improved. Because of the dumbell shape, it is more difficult for the fish to eject the bait, and we have also found that on harder fished waters the fish are less likely to be spooked by picking up a dumbell than a boilie as it is not used to the shape.

Air-drying is a great way of preserving your bait. This method can be used on freezer baits and boilies made using base mixes.

When air-drying frozen boilies you must make sure they thaw out in their bag completely first. There are two reasons for this, one is that they will dehydrate and the other is that the ice in the bag contains additives and nutrients that are re-absorbed during the thawing process.

The best way of air-drying baits is to use a drying tray which are available from most tackle shops with instructions, but alternatively you can dry them on a towel in a warm, dry place, (an airing cupboard) or in a pillow case and hang it up. It is important to remember that the boilies must be shaken/moved about during the drying process otherwise mould could form. Never put too many boilies in at a time when drying to allow adequate air flow around the bait.

The powder we use in these mixes is the lightest in the world. This produces highly buoyant pop-ups and also makes an excellent floating paste, which probably explains why our Pop-up Mix is reputed to be the best on the market. It is produced from natural ingredients and baits made with it remain popped up for at least two days without losing any of their buoyancy or colour, they also have a very high leak rate. It is easy to use by mixing with either water or egg, the latter will make them slightly harder.

Pop-up Mix is available in five different types, Natural, Day-glow Pink, Day-glow Yellow, Day-glow Orange and Fish Meal. The Fish Meal is a perfect combination for anglers who are into fish meal baits. Perfect results every time with all of the attraction associated with fish meal. You will not find a better pop-up mix on the market.

Richworth Airo Pop-ups are the best ready-made pop-ups you can buy, but you can also make your own if you want using the brilliant Richworth Pop-up Mix. It’s easy to use and available in five different variations.

1. Add your chosen flavour to water. You can substitute the water for an egg if you want.
2. Add the water slowly to the dry mix and mix with a fork until the powder starts to form a stiff paste.
3. As the paste stiffens work it thoroughly in your hands to ensure an even mixture.
4. Roll the paste into sausages.
5. Cut the sausages into small sections and them roll them between your hands to form balls. Boil for 2 to 3 mins and then leave to dry.

Impulse is an advanced system of Flavours and Palatants for anglers who want to be unique, different and original.

By blending together 'Impulse' Flavours and 'Impulse' Palatants you'll create a truly individual bait with its own individual label that will enable carp to find it time and time again.

On pressured waters, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find attractors which really stand out. 'Impulse' flavours however, are a bit special. Most are individually blended to create a unique aroma and are made from extremely pure ingredients to very high concentrations, ensuring they keep on working for a long time. These flavours also work well with our base mixes.

To make your bait complete, there are four 'Impulse' Palatants that bring out the best in your chosen base mix and flavour combination.

'Impulse' Flavours - 50ml
· Banana Zip
· Dairy Crunch
· Cream Dream
· Secret Bite
· Chocolate Feast
· Ultimate Strawberry
· Blueberry Dream
· 'Ooze'
· Strawberry Fields
· Eastern Promise

'Impulse' Palatants - 80g

· Sweet Fusion: for smoothing off spicy and fishy flavours.
· Dairy Fusion: particularly valuable in birdfood mixes.
· Fruit Fusion: boosts any fruit flavours used in all base mixes.
· Aqua fusion: designed for fishy flavours and fishmeal base mixes.

These powders make a powerful additive to any of the XL Groundbait range and works well on waters that see a lot of pellet use. Can also be used in stick mix.

Richworth's vast carp bait knowledge in a groundbait. Carp XL Plus contains a high feed value and excellent activity along with enhancers to give you the edge. Combines well with Super Method to produce a heavier mix for carrying lots of particles or with brown crumb for a lighter mix for use in our method feeder or an open ended feeder.

Boilie dips are a valuable weapon in the carp angler's armoury because they boost the attraction level of hookbaits. Impact Boilie Dips combine carp attracting oils with a range of flavours at the best possible ratio to attract carp without making the bait so strongly tainted that it discourages them. Available in a range of flavours to complement Richworth Ready-made Boilies they are simple to use and very effective in all conditions.

Jan Keijenberg (Holland).
Bonjour! I'm Dutch but since my parents'family stems from Belgium, I am raised in a more bi-lingual fashion. Fishing for carp is one of my passions, the other one is music. I hold a degree in music and am always frustrated to find that it is impossible to get any degree in angling.

In the last 20 years, Cor and I visited many places and caught many a good carp, but these last few years were not so kind to me. Family, work and health problems kept me from fishing.

April 2005 saw me pickng up my carp rods again, tying on a Crab & Mussel boilie and casting towards a lilkely looking spot. It all felt strangely familiair and within an hour, the indicator went berserk. First run and a good one! The fish tried to reach for the reeds and the snag to my left hand...but luck and some persuasion from Sylvain and Cor brought it around and after an imppressive battle....she was mine. My first carp of 2005....isn't she a beauty.

So there you have it, you can't get a degree in carp angling, you can't get any qualifications and there are no guarantees, bar one: with a Richworth boilie, your always sure to be on the verge of catching yet another carp.

Good luck to all of you.

Raymond van Keerberghen (Holland).
My name is Raymond van Keerberghen, single at the moment and 30 years young. l live in Dordrecht, a city near Rotterdam, the biggest port of Europe. My profession is civil servant, specialised in trafficand parking. In my spare time, I am the sportive type. I like soccer and fitness and carpfishing off course.

I've been fishing for all my life, hunting for several species. At the age of thirteen I became particulary interested in carp fishing. At first, I only visit lots of fishing pits and later little lakes, rivers in the surroundings. Throughout the years I have developed into an angler who loves to fish especially in foreign countries like France and Italy. Carp fishing is still very important top me. It is much more then a hobby only, it is a passion for live.

I have been a member of the Richworth team Benelux since 2000, Testing several mixes, the whole shelf life range, freezers and new products. I am still very satisfied. When I go abroad, my favourites are still crab and mussel and complex.
Go get them! Raymond van Keerberghen

Er bestaan diverse vormen van de karper:
de wilde of boerenkarper
de schubkarper
de edel- of spiegelkarper
de rijenkarper
de leder- of naaktkarper
de kroeskarper
de hoogvinkarper
de graskarper
de grootkopkarper
de zilverkarper

De verschillen worden met name bepaald door het schubbenpatroon;
de schub- en wilde karper zijn normaal beschubt, de spiegelkarper kent enkele grote schubben, de rijenkarper een rij schubben horizontaal over de flank en de lederkarper heeft slechts enkele schubben (daar waar geen schubben zitten voelt de huid "leerachtig" aan. De kroeskarper heeft een wat hoog en gedrongen postuur en wordt in het algemeen niet zo heel groot. Tevens is deze karpersoort vrij zeldzaam. De graskarper wordt ook wel "Chinese karper" genoemd en heeft een torpedovormig lichaam. Zijn bek staat anders vergeleken bij de andere karpersoorten. De graskarper voedt zich ook wel zoals zijn naam al doet vermoeden voor een gedeelte met gras. De grootkopkarper heeft zoals de naam al zegt een grote kop. Deze karper is zeldzaam en is moeilijk in Nederland te vangen. De zilverkarper is zaols de naam al zegt: zilver van kleur maar behoort niet tot koikarper.

Ecologische waarde

De karper is net als de brasem een vis die de bodem omwoelt, dit noemt men azen. Vooral in de vroege ochtend direct na zonsopgang kan men dit waarnemen. De vis staat dan vaak rechtop in het water en door het gewoel in de bodem ziet men afhankelijk van de soort bodem trossen kleine dan wel grotere belletjes opstijgen naar de oppervlakte. In ondiep water kan men soms aan de staartvin zien om wat voor vis het gaat. De karper doet dit als hij op zoek is naar eten, voornamelijk planten en waterinsecten. De karper is geen roofvis.

De karper als exoot

Aanvankelijk werd hij als consumptievis ingevoerd. Waarschijnlijk is dit begonnen in China waar monniken karpers kweekten voor voedsel. Deze exoot heeft Nederland bereikt dankzij de Romeinen. Met name in Noord-Holland zijn afstammelingen van deze (ontsnapte) exemplaren te vinden. Dit zijn de zogenaamde wilde karpers of boerenkarpers die van vroege ontsnappingen afstammen.

Tegenwoordig wordt de karper regelmatig uitgezet ten behoeve van de sportvisserij. Uitzetten blijkt veelal noodzakelijk omdat de omstandigheden (temperatuur, roofvissen, beroepsvisserij) van het Nederlandse water niet optimaal zijn voor voortplanting. Karpervissen is sinds begin jaren negentig erg populair geworden vanwege de kracht en omvang (gewicht) van de dieren. Na alle uitzettingen en voortplantingen komt de karper in het grootste deel van Noord- en Midden-Europa voor. Na 1870 werd de vis naar de VS overgebracht, waar hij nu algemeen voorkomt.

In de natuur kan hij 30-40 jaar worden.

De karper als siervis

Meestal wordt de term Koi(-karper) gebruikt voor de gekweekte fel gekleurde variant die als siervis in vijvers wordt gehouden. Deze vissen worden, afhankelijk van de kleur en de tekening, soms voor grote bedragen verkocht. Met name in Japan is het houden en kweken van Koikarpers als populaire bezigheid ontstaan. Ondertussen zijn er Europese en Israëlische varianten die respectievelijk EuroKoi en Israëlische Koi worden genoemd. Enkel in Japan zelf betekent het Japanse woord Koi (karper) de "consumptievis-karper", terwijl Nishikigoi verwijst naar de sierkarper.

Wereldrecord

De grootste karper tot nu toe is gevangen door Nick Massey op het Paquier des Graviers in Frankrijk en woog 37,65 kilo. Een vis van meer dan 35 kilo is zeldzaam.

Ik zal me even voorstellen ik ben rene epskamp 43 jaar ik vis van mijn 12e al op karper en ga vanaf 1988 naar frankrijk toe voor de grote vissen.

Waarom heb ik deze site gemaakt, omdat ik vind dat het vismerk Richworth bij de meeste vissers vergeten is wat ik heel jammer vind omdat het merk Richworth tot een van de oudste en beste vis merken behoort in de karper visserij.

Daarom laat ik u op deze site alle produkten zien die Richwordt aanbied zodat er meer belangstelling komt voor dit top merk.

DIPS GO WILD!

The only limitation is your imagination. We produce over 100 flavours all of which have been tested and proved to be excellent fi sh attractors.

With a little imagination there are literally thousands of combinations for you to try, for instance we know that a few years ago a lot of anglers were using Plum Royal and Crab and Mussel mixed at a rate of 70% Plum and 30% Crab with absolutely devastating results. Another combination which has been used to great effect is Condensed Milk and Maple at a 50/50 rate. We have also heard from people that have blended three and even four flavours together with immense success. So go on, let your imagination run wild.

Hookable boilie pellets do exactly what they say on the jar. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that tese boilie pellets stay on the hook for as long as possible and leak off optimum levels of flavours and attractors for long periods while they are submerged.

Like their 'big brothers' (Dumbell boilie pellets) these baits are also designed to be difficult for the fish to eject, so in turn, you don't lose so many fish. Hookable boilie pellets come in one size 10mm in diameter by 14mm long and in five flavours.

MIXED BOILIE CRUMB

Crumbed boilies that can be added to any of the Richworth XL Groundbait range to increase food value and attraction. Excellent when using boilies as hook-bait in conjunction with the method feeder. Can also be used in stick mix. 1kg

As the name suggests All Season is the ideal mix for both winter and summer. With a medium food value and a fine texture it can be mixed with other groundbaits in summer to produce a higher feed value or used neat in winter.

These pure natural extracts have been carefully selected and packaged for maximum freshness in a highly concentrated form. Carp are known to be attracted to a number of naturally occurring substances and there is no doubt that bait containing natural extracts not only catches fish but also work for a longer period.

Natural Powder Extracts - 50g
· G.L.M. Powder
· Betaine H.C.I.
· Kelp Concentrate
· Garlic
· Blue Cheese
· Corn Steep Powder

All hand picked because we believe them to be guaranteed top carp catchers. They're highly concentrated (double strength), and made from only the purest liquids. Many have been individually blended to create truly unique and individual attractors that keep catching year after year.

The Richworth 'in-line' Method Feeders have been widely acknowledged to be the best method feeder available. The specially designed fins help it to hold large quantities of groundbait and the central tube makes setting up simple and neat preventing tangles, especially when using the 1st Contact Tadpole rubbers.

Because the feeder is loaded, it's still heavy enough to create a bolt effect, even when the groudbait has dissolved from the feeder. Can be used either semi fixed or free running.
Available in 1oz and 2oz

Sylvain Schumacher (France).
Hello there,
My name is Sylvain Schumacher and despite bearing the same name....me and Michael do not have the same nationality. I was born and live in France, as you all know, one of the best countries for catching carp. My fishing started at the age of 5 and today, being nearly 38, it still is as strong as ever. Living in the immediate neighbourhood of one of France's most prolific big carp rivers, I've landed many, many big carp and only recently (may 2005) managed to land a new PB from the river: a gigantic mirror of well over 66 lbs. The bait: you've guessed it, Crab & Mussel 18 mm.

My favourite baits are much in line with Cor's and Bas' choices: Crab & Mussel and Tutti Frutti. Although Nini also prefers Complex when tackling the big Madine lake. Nini is our benjamin in the Team, als living in France and already landed fish over the magical 30 kg barrier from Madine. You'll find more on Nini in his section on this site.

Working in shifts often permits me to be at the waterside when all is quite, and most of my best catches are in the early morning hours. Cor and I spent some time fishing a couple of lakes and we compared notes from our fishing logs....interesting, most of our catches from my region are between 5 and 8 in the morning. Summer or Winter. Makes one wonder!

Enjoy your fishing, enjoy your time fishing and never be in doubt when fishing: take some confidence in a bag with you and relax.

Cor de Man (Holland).
My name is Cor de Man, 41 years of age and carp fishing since the age of 15. Looking back that puts me in pursuit for the beauties for well over 25 years, how time flies! My day to day job is challenging but also finishes at 5 in the afternoon, leaving ample time to visit the gym, play with my child and worrying about where to fish next! Occasionally I'll also produce an article for one of the many magazines we have nowadays.

I've fished for and caught carp all over the world, all on Richworth boilies. Without a doubt my favourite bait is the ever constant Tutti Frutti boilie in 18 and 20 mm. To give you an indication of its catching power: amongst other carp, the bait brought me a 43 pound common in South Africa, a good catch of thirties from the St Lawrence river, some nice twenties in Spain and a substantial amount of big fish from all over France. Since becoming a father, some 7 years ago, my fishing changed and now includes my son as a companion on many trips. This does, however, limit my fishing to places that can be considered to be safe for such a young child and excludes the toughest of venues. Still, the catching continues and some very nice fish came our way in the last couple of years. Fishing more on enclosed waters, lakes and venues under 200 acres in size, I found that Complex and Crab & Mussel boilies have the tendency to 'build up' in action throughout a longer session or a season. The forte of Complex seems to be its ability to single out the bigger carp, especially when fishing close in, with only a handful of baits and some pellets around it. The results can be quite staggering, as the picture proves. A very nice common, at a nudge over 40 pounds from a tranquil lake in Northern France.

Throughout the year, we will update this part of the site with pictures and anecdotes, so keep watching this space!
