Cheap Bait

Ray Daywalker Clarke · Apr 29, 2011

Went to Tesco's today for some sweetcorn, I use tesco's own.

It's down in price to 32 pence a tin.

If your into spod mixes etc etc, and like to use Tuna in your mix, then thats very cheap also.

I get plenty of bits for my mixes from Tesco, have a good look around, so much cheap bait.

Good Oil from Sainsburys. Pure Hemp oil and cheap as chips compared to tackle shops.

My local Tesco is excellent as well-lots of tempting bits to try as bait-and usually a good range of meats at reasonable prices although Morrisons offer the Princes brand instead of the Tulip brand which IMHO is a superior product for stillwater with a good strong smell.However i do use Tulip for running water as it is a little harder and seems to stay on the hair better....but this is only my opinion!

Yes,definitely worth spending an hour in a big Tesco..........................(not Asda though .......................not too much to offer??)

No it isn't "only" your opinion. It's mine too.

But where can you get Tulip Brand these days, someone said Asda's Own was Tulip.

Hmmm, damned silly question. And on special offer.

Now here's something interesting , if true, "Spam for the UK market is produced in Denmark by Tulip under license from Hormel"

Stinky french garlic Spam is favourite by a mile. Hard to find though.

You're right Geoff.

In fact it's so good that a can of it was given away as second prize on another site's Perch Fishing competition.

First prize was a set of Perch Bobber floats by Paul Cook.

I think I spotted that Tulip own Spam, but I believe their own product is founfd in Lidl shops????

edit: No I got that wrong. It's Hormel who own Spam.
