Although all of the baits in the Solar range are designed with instant attraction in mind, perhaps the one with the best track record for one off hits is Top Banana. The amount of times anglers have told me they’ve sat there twiddling their thumbs on a food bait without any action, only to change over to a Top Banana pop-up at last knockings and have it away is ridiculous.

I’ve even done it myself, and I know Lockey is also an angler who puts enormous faith in these little beauties when it comes to merely just getting a bite.

The bright yellow colour of TB obviously makes it very obvious to the carp, but their attraction goes much further than just visual as it contains some of the best fruit enhancers and appetite stimulators Lockey has in his armoury.

Let’s not forget it’s also based on the legendary Savay Seed Mix, a base mix which Solar have made the headlines with time and time again. Lockey describes it as “The sweet they can eat between meals.” and I wouldn’t disagree. A quick dunk in the accompanying Pot Shot really puts some hook bait power around the end tackle.

Top Banana ready mades, proven attraction!

Three or four pouchfuls of feed from the catapult alongside and away you go…it really is as simple as that with this bait. It’s perfect as an alternative or the weekend carper who likes to hear the sound of a buzzer no matter what size of carp he has on the end. If it’s a bite you want, then Top Banana is the answer.
