IXCHEL
In the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula, spiritual home of the ancient Maya civilisation, the moon was worshipped as a force of life, water and cycles. They called her IXCHEL. The Maya built entire calendars around lunar cycles, studying the movement of the moon to guide planting, rituals and survival itself.
As carp anglers, we understand something similar. The moon moves water. Water moves fish. Full moons. New moons. Subtle pressure shifts. The windows when bigger carp slip up.
The pure Mexican vanilla extract inside this bait was sourced from the Yucatán, one of the spiritual centres of Mayan culture. That's where the idea took shape.
If carp respond to lunar cycles… if the moon influences movement and feeding windows… then why not create a hookbait worthy of being cast under her light?
Ixchel isn't just flavoured milk protein. It's a lunar food signal.
Built around our own custom in-house milk protein base — formulated from the ground up, not bought off a shelf. High grade milk proteins provide a sustained, layered nutritional signal, while natural feeding stimulants create an instant response the moment it enters the water.
The profile is deep, natural and rounded:
• Pure Mexican vanilla extract
• Manuka honey
No dyes. No synthetic sharpness. Just a naturally derived, food based signal that releases in phases — immediate solubles followed by a longer lasting protein leak that keeps working when others fade.
Fish it on the new moon. Fish it under a full moon. Fish it when others stay home.
And when that rod melts off under silver light… maybe the goddess is watching.
