Tench Baits

[Guest Elton]

I'll be adding an article by Jim Gibbinson on his 8 favourite tench baits later today. Before I do, let's hear your favourites and see if they match.

 

Tight lines,

For what it's worth, I caught my first tench recently using maggots over a cocktail of sweetcorn, castors and hemp.

 

It was worth a lot to me - I had 3 tench up to about 1lb (the largest in that water being just over 1lb) in the space of 2 hours.

 

I can't wait to have another go.

Corn, meat/bread paste or small (10-15mm) boilies are my choice for tench. The meat/bread paste is bread and spam mashed together sometimes with a dash of worcestershire sauce (usually because that is my favourite butty to take fishing).

[Guest Paulg]

Most effective Tench baits for me..... cockles, luncheon meat, bread flake, and worms. Best method would be freelined, as least on the lakes I fish. I'll look forwards to this article as Tench are one of my favourite species.
