Hemp seed is one of the most popular particles in fishing. Its rich scent, oily profile and visual attraction make it a powerful feed for coarse fish and carp. Use it in groundbait, as loose feed or combined with other particles to keep fish searching on the spot.
Why is hemp seed so effective?
The attraction of hemp comes from its natural oils, sugars and the small white shoot that appears when it is cooked correctly. Roach, bream and carp often respond strongly to this visual and scent signal.
- Rich in proteins and oils
- Strong visual trigger from the white split seed
- Easy to digest, helping fish keep feeding
- Ideal to mix with maize, tiger nuts and other particles
How to prepare hemp seed
- Soak: leave the seed in plenty of water for 12 to 24 hours.
- Boil: cook for 20 to 30 minutes until most seeds split and show the white shoot.
- Cool and store: let the hemp cool in the cooking liquid, which is full of attraction.
Where can you use hemp seed?
Hemp seed works well for pole fishing, feeder fishing, match fishing and carp fishing. Add it to groundbait, spod mixes or loose feed when you want a long-lasting, active feeding response.
Combine hemp seed with particles, groundbait, carp bait, fishing pellets and coarse fishing bait and groundbait.
