I think I have enough baits and ideas on baits but in for a penny........! In what form do you buy your wheat and where from? How do you attach it to the hook?
I assume we are not talking shredded wheat floaters here
Its a very economical bait.
You buy it from the pet shop or seed merchant in bulk or if you are lucky like me they spill the stuff all over the place at harvest time.
Best free bait available.
Soak it overnight then boil. I like to do baulk batches and freeze it. I also like to cook it longer than is traditional so it really swells up and some grains break open.
Roach love it but its a great bait for pre baiting. Barbel, carp, tench and sorry about this...bream.
In Ireland I used to catapult half a bucket out the night before for some bumper bream catches. I often put a load down on the Tidal Trent when waiting for the barbel to come and rummage in the gravel.
Its an easy to hook bait to fish for roach with hemp as one would with tares.
You can hook several pieces threaded along a bigger hook such as a 12.
It avoids eels when pre baiting!!
As the thread says, the cinderella bait..ignore it at your cost
