Keith Arthur recommends hemp and casters. He's a member of GXUDAS.
Feed one, fish the other, swap and try.
Tares are a good substitute for hemp on the hook.

Oh boy! No trouble.
To get used to them, pop into a tackle shop and you should be able to buy both ready prepared.
Hemp is hemp (Marijuana, but legal) seed, soaked for 24 hours and then boiled (30 mins usually) until the kernel splits. Fish love it and it's NOT a drug. It has about 32% or so protein in it and quite a few essential oils.
Casters are maggots that have JUST turned into ther chrysalis state. In soem shops you have to order them, but occasionally there's a few pints in the fridge. And that's teh best way to keep them, in a bag, in the fridge until you use them.
Once you know what you're doing with them as bait you can buy raw hemp and prepare it yourself. You need a large OLD pan and some bicarbonate of soda. There must be an article on it somewhere on here.
