I'm actually going for the first time in about 2 months tomorrow night, and playing around with stuff like you do before a session, i've just mashed up a load of maples. it looks and smells the absolute b*ll*x as a method (it would be stiff enough on its own)/bag mix with a sigle maple as a hookbait....cant wait to try it out. anybody tried it or with other pulses before?

Not pulses but when Peanut was the "in" bait back in the early 80's Me and a few mates took the Canterbury waters apart by fishing single peanut on the hair and wraping the whole lot up in crushed peanut mixed with a bit of beaten egg to help hold it together.A bit like the modern "Method".We did it just to try and get more smell/flavour around our hook bait.See no reason why similar aproach shouldnt work with pulses.

Dave,I had long fair hair back then,plus no tash,the going rig was freelined,the bait`s as big as a apple,kit e kat, mixed with wheetabix,but there again that may have been earlyer,becouse i remember useing the hair at fordwich,and there`s no way we could have got those bait`s on a hair.
