Cheese

[davedave]

Has anybody used cheese succesfully as a big fish bait, if so what type of cheese and how did you hook it? Any general advice really please

[Anderoo]

I use cheesepaste for chub fishing: http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/coarse-fishing...heesepaste.html

 

A big blob on a size 6 hook is an excellent big chub bait.

Cheesepaste is my new favourite bait. I get a pack of that jusrol shortcrust pastry, 150g of stilton and 150g of mature cheddar, grate the cheese onto rolled out pastry, gather up the pastry edges and knead until smooth. If you need to stiffen it (for hot weather or long casting), just dust with flour and knead some more until it reaches the desired consistency.

I use a #6 with a biro spring slipped over the shank. Works a treat.

Haven't got round to experimenting further as yet.

I use almost exactly the same...the smelliest cheese about - but I also add a few drops of garlic juice and n-butyric acid with it.

I knew someone who memorably used the expression 'Smellier than Satan's arse!'

With cheese strings how do you hook them?

Not tried that one perhaps a hair rig?

Perhaps banded also? Personally i think i would put it on the shank of the hook and leave the point out.
