Goo Phase One
This was the phase that launched the Goo onto an eager carp world. It
contains some Goos that have become absolute classic bait enhancers
already! Here's a rundown!
PINEAPPLE SUPREME
This is one of the most popular and effective Goos. It's perfect as a
hook bait glaze - especially when dried on and reapplied. Keep rolling,
coating, rolling, coating and drying. Each layer will give you increased
leakage time. Use the Supreme version to cut into the core of the bait
and the Power Smoke to coat the outside of the bait, to give you that
bonbon effect.
PINEAPPLE POWER SMOKE
The Pineapple Power Smoke is brilliant when applied directly to PVA
sticks. If you’re fishing a runs water and you want to get some
attraction into the water quickly then coating sticks works well. You
can use it on zigs. The South Africans actually dry this stuff onto
their zig foam.
TUTTI POWER SMOKE
Much of the things that apply to the Pineapple Power Smoke also apply to
the Tutti one will do too. The major differences would be things like
pH. The Pineapple Power is acidic and has a real impact on various
waters. It's PVA friendly most of the year, but always remember to shake
the bottle well to distribute the ingredients evenly. It's best during
the warmer months, when the weather gets up to 15 or 16 degrees, so
spring and summer really.
CORN TWIST
This is an extremely natural, extremely sweet, yet subtle Goo. It’s
classified as a Bait Smoke but doesn’t have the intensity of colour of
some of the others. It’s not just restricted to use with hook baits, you
can add it to ground baits, watered down, roll mixers in it or even
glaze freebies with it. It lends itself brilliantly to zig spod mixes,
it can be used in combinations on hook baits but I really do like to use
it on my loose feed. Don't put a whole bottle in, add a little bit and
make a nice soupy syrup with some water in a bucket and add that to your
particle mixture, or glaze your boilies with it, really enhancing what
you’re doing, compared to the guy next door.
PERFECT PEACH
This one first burst onto the scene when Pete Holehouse used it to win
the UK Carp Champs. He used it solely in his spod mix when spodding over
zigs and he found that he actually spodded less and kept the fish there
for longer than he ever had when spodding over zigs. He was fishing
face-to-face with another angler and was putting out half the amount of
spods and catching more fish. You can add it to water to get it into the
spod mix, or add it straight onto your particles.
RASPBERRY PLUME This thick Goo has become famed for its use with
floaters. All you need to do is dilute a small amount of Plume in a
bucket and coat your floating pellets or mixers. When they soak it up,
you'll be left with a super-attractive bait. Add it to your hemp or your
chopped boilies and you’re adding another dimension of taste. If you’re
struggling to get fish feeding, then try the Raspberry Plume.
Goo Phase Two
The second batch of Goo included some variants that have become the most
famous of them all. The two Almond Goos shot to prominence after the
Underwater DVDs shot on St Johns and we all know how they've been
getting on since! Here's a rundown of the rest of the range...
ALMOND SUPREME
Nothing penetrates better than the Almond Supreme. It will cut into
skinned tigers and is good on PVA sticks, but we’ve not found a better
way than to use it on hook baits. When used in tandem with the thicker
Almond Power Smoke, the two combine to create an attractor package
that's unrivalled!
ALMOND POWER SMOKE
The thicker of the two Almond Goos is perfect for coating hook baits.
For best results, repeatedly coat and dry the hook baits to produce hook
baits that pump out attraction for hours. Not only is the combination
packed with potent attractors, it also produces baits that are a vivid
pink colour.
MYSTIC SPICET
his was one that Danny wanted to bring out. He’d been testing it on a
farm lake in Cambridgeshire in the colder months and he found that the
Mystic Spice would out-catch the Almond, proving once again that
venue-to-venue, things can differ greatly. If you use it on PVA, then
use it in really small amounts, say just on the knot of the stick;
that’s how the South Africans have been using it. Ultimately, use it as
a hook bait soak. It’s very thick and syrupy, so it will only cut into
the hook bait by a few millimetres and leaving it in the sun will help
with this process. If you’re looking for something a bit different, then
this bunspice-type Goo might be just the thing.
STRAWBERRY KICK
This is a really unique smelling one; it’s got a fruity taste, with a
garlic twist and gives off a rusty colour once it’s in the water. It’s a
great one to add to your zig foam just before casting out. Those of you
who like a red hook bait will appreciate this one.
CARAMEL CLOUD
This is a firm favourite of Tom Dove’s. It’s a great fish catcher on
lakes with a large stock of fish but also really good for pressured, big
carp. It dries really well onto the surface of hook baits, hence why we
brought the Caramel Supreme out; we wanted the two to complement each
other. It’s good on solid bags and it’s really sweet, so carp absolutely
love this one. My main recommendation would be to get it dried onto your
hook baits.
HALIBUT HAZE
Halibut is just an awesome fish-catching attractor and the Halibut Haze
Goo is no different. It’s a fishy flavour with a slight fruity twist.
Some of the flavours included give it that slight angle, that slight
difference. It’s very thick, so it sticks brilliantly to the outside of
baits. By the summer months you really will kick arse on it and it’s one
that both carp and barbel anglers will love. It’s great dried onto hook
baits and on bags, and don’t be afraid to combine it with a fruity
flavour or something else.
Goo Phase Three
GARLIC SUPREME
This is a special thin Goo with a unique flavour enhancement which again
is a proven Carp catcher. Excellent for pre-soaking your hook baits,
either tigers, popups or bottom baits. The cloud produced is subtle but
distinctive and also great for use in cold water applications.
SQUID SUPREME
A pink coloured Squid based special blend of liquids with the
consistency of our Pineapple supreme. The best use, however not
exclusively, for this GOO is for soaking your hook baits in which will
penetrate quite deeply into any flavour pop-ups or bottom baits or
Particles and totally change your hook bait. A small squirt to coat some
hook baits in a small tub and it will be absorbed. The more applications
and time the deeper the penetration into the bait. Any hook bait can be
used which will take on the Squid pink colour and flavour and “clone” it
into a something really special. Very strong and distinctive which has
been one of our very best Carp catchers in Europe over the last few
years.
SPICY SQUID POWER SMOKE
This is a very sweet and strong like our Almond pink power smoke. It
also compliments the Squid supreme bait smoke. It has a much thicker
consistency which can be used on PVA bags and also dried onto your hook
baits as a two part process with the Squid Supreme bait smoke first.
Both of these Squids give a pink cloud which although subtle seems to
drive the carp wild. This has been used extensively over the last few
years and the outstanding results speak for themselves.
CARAMEL SUPREME
A strong and sweet Caramel. This is an outstanding fish catcher and has
been released by popular demand to compliment and be used in conjunction
with our Caramel Cloud Power Smoke. This Goo can be used as a bait soak
for Tigers, Pop-ups or with any PVA presentations. All the Supremes are
great in cold water conditions as the thinner viscosity reacts much
quicker in the cooler temperatures.
GARLIC GLAZE
A very sweet and rich natural Garlic Goo which can be used for many bait
applications and PVA presentations. The cloud although not strong is a
milkier yellow colour which is different to the other Goo products in
the range and has been a favourite with us for many years. Sure to be an
outstanding Carp Catcher and has proved itself to be one of our very
best in most situations. Garlic has always been around fish culture and
is a proven appetite stimulator amongst Koi keepers and very popular
with carp anglers alike.
COCONUT CREAM
We have long been asked to release a Coconut Goo and this is our very
special blend. A medium/thin thickness Goo, very versatile and suitable
for most application including penetrating PVA sticks or used as a
Boiley soak, excellent for improving any hook bait and especially so for
enhancing Coconut or nut based baits which are very popular in modern
day carp fishing.
Goo Phase Four
VINDAGOO SUPREME
This Goo is hot and spicy. It is a very complex mixture of a variety of
chillis and it really has a kick to it. It is very thin like all the
other Supremes in the series therefore its primary purpose is to either
soak your hook baits in it or add it to your spod mix. Carp on some
lakes seem to take a special liking to spicy flavours, so this Goo was
created for that.
TIGER NUT SMOKE
Now this Goo seems to be the most widely anticipated one of the series.
We all know Tigernuts are simply amazing at catching carp. Natural
progression dictated that we decided to make a Tigernut Goo. This Goo
contains all the natural elements of tiger nuts. It has a
middle-of-the-road consistency, just like Corn Twist and Mystic Spice,
making a general-purpose and general-use Goo.
MANGONANA SUPREME
An exotic, fruity mix that's sweet and smells great. It has a thin
consistency therefore good for soaking things in and giving you a nice
tropical edge.
CHOCOLATE CANDY SMOKE
In the same vein as earlier Power Smokes in previous series, this thick,
gooey liquid smells so divine, you'll consider it a shame to cast it
out. Best used by applying to your hookbaits or PVA just before you cast
out.
KING CRAB SUPREME & SMOKE
This two-coat application system is just like Pineapple/Almond/Spicy
Squid/Garlic Bait Smoke & Power Smokes from previous series. We have
created a very nice and strong-smelling essence, which carp will be able
to home in on. Soak your hookbaits in the Supreme, coat them in the
thick Smoke, and you will have transformed your bait into a Crabby
powerhouse.
Goo Phase Five
ALI HAMIDI gives us the rundown on the next generation of Kiana Carp
Goo: “This is the first series of Goo without the signature fluorescent
green in the range. Don’t be alarmed though, because this family of Goos
will prove that their success is not all about colour, in fact, it’s
mainly down to the secret soluble attractors they contain. These Goos
work hard for you, drawing carp in and they’ll pull fish to your hook
bait quicker than anything else that exists.”
BUMBLEBERRY
I’ve known for decades that berry flavours, mixed with citrus notes can
be deadly. So, I was pleased to help Kiana with a scent and a direction
for this one! This is based around a blend of berries that give a very
rounded, intensely sweet liquid. The colour will colour your bait from
dark pink, right through to the orange end of the spectrum, depending on
the colour of the original bait. It gives off a very subtle haze when in
the water, which makes it perfect for use with stick mixes, bag mixes or
of course, hook baits. Here’s a little edge for you: try it with
Mangonana if you want a great combination of attractors!
WONDERBERRY
This is the first white Goo. Just getting the white is a huge
achievement – I can’t tell you how difficult this has been, because
white dye doesn’t lend to being mixed. The significance of this
development is that you get to keep your hook baits white, a vogue
colour that is a proven carp catcher! Smell-wise, this is perhaps one of
our riskier ones! It’s based on a blend that has been hugely successful
in South Africa, the home of the Goo and has a unique medicinal warmth
to it that the fish won’t have come across before! Wonderberry is
attractive in all conditions, and has been superb in filedtesting.
WICKED TUNA SUPREME
This tuna Goo has a subtle sweet undertone, yet is undeniably fishy too!
Just like the Squid and King Crab Supremes, it has incredible ability to
penetrate hook baits, right to the core. This allows it to pump out its
meaty, sweet notes for hours underwater. This will give your hook baits
a light pink colour, should you use it with white baits.
WICKED TUNA SMOKE
The thicker of the two Tuna Goos. Once again, it has a meaty, fishy tuna
note, but with a defined sweet undertone and taste. As with all the
smokes, the Wicked Tuna lends to being daubed onto the outside of hook
baits, sticks and bags before the cast, or dried and layered onto hook
baits over time. It gives a slightly deeper reddish pink hue to the hook
baits than its Supreme sibling.
