Luncheon meat

[awaaar]

PeterJC - Really?

 

That'll save me a job, I always put a little black pepper in with my spam before sticking it in the freezer, along with some fruit/floral/red/pungent suprise

I use the great big Garlic Sausages you can buy in French supermarkets; it has a rubbery texture like spam, stays on the hook well and Tench in particular seem to love it.

It probably would be good for Barbel but I have not used it for them yet.

 

Ooh! I have just passed 200 posts

in my opinion the best ways are to 1.

fry it. 2 leave it out in the sun. Or 3 use a hair rig.

The spaghetti and grass options are good but its like when you have weed on the hook. Nothing goes for the bait!

also Tony U that saucisson sold in france is spot on after i came back from france i had one of the best days fishing ever!

Stays on the hook?

This stuff sticks to it!

I also use a bit of stalk from grass.

Luncheon meat has always been rather over-rated, IMHO. True, the really cheap types (which melt to a pink gunge on frying) are particularly attractive to fish, and Bacon Grill is good, but in my experience sausage meat is superior. Especially rough-cut pork sausage meat.

 

You can mix it with a suitable binder to produce a stiff paste for molding around the hook or to a bead-on-a-hair; flavours can be added easily; and blended with eggs and boiled briefly, it makes excellent, versatile and unusual boilies.

I find the really cheap stuff that would bounce if you drop it goes straight on the hook best, Primrose is one of them, it a matter of buying a few different brands and seeing which one is best.

Primrose is good stuff as is Tulip. They are both quite hard to find around here nowadays though, think morrisons do the tulip one.

the only place i know that sells primrose is the cafe at messingham. Good job i got a few tins in my holdall.
