I want to try and break away from reliance on fishmeal based baits, trying something a little different on more prolific waters like the Severn and Wye.
So I've been trying to establish which seeds, pulses and nuts actually work for barbel, as I can't see the point of inclusions that have no benefit.
My list so far:
Hemp
Chickpeas (though I've only ever caught on them when heavily flavoured with curry)
Sweetcorn (so I guess maize will also work?)
Fennel
Maples
Tares (I'm told they work well?)
If you know of any others that do work, info gratefully received.
