Nicky,tf when fishing for tench, I've had great success with chick pea drilled and hooked and also on the hair. I use the ones straihgt from the tin from Tesco.
Hope this helps!

can't i just hook em with a baiting needle for are they too hard?

There's a few ways to hook them Nicky, you can try the baiting needle, it shouldn't be to hard just mind your hands. Another method is dry them completely for around six hours, apply a silk braid loop to your hook, pull tight and super glue, you may even want to dip them in a sweet smelling glug. Leave to dry for a few minutes and go from there. If you are to use this option then tie a few before you leave for your trip. Another is to look at the rigs section in the editorial button above and utilise the meatball rig pictured.
Good Luck
