Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Leighton McDonnell tries out bait-making with umami, the "fifth taste" - familiar to us all through MSG, spring rolls and the like. Obviously, it works for chub as well. "Without a doubt Leighton McDonnell is one of the most successful winter chub anglers on the Buckinghamshire Ouse in recent years. During his time he has developed a unique fishing style and in particular has concentrated on an exploration of baits that will probably replace the age old arguments of protein attraction. His recent discoveries regarding taste and stomach receptors which he has linked with proven knowledge of protein reactions, has proved to be very effective in developing instant baits and at times exceptional results. Indeed there can be very few anglers currently balancing the best combinations of glutamate, inosinate and guanylate for that fifth taste kick which can spectacularly transform catch rates and bait effectiveness. This wonderful book explains his methods and results."
