Natural protein fishing bait.
When the hemp seeds are cooked there is no need to add anything as the seeds are already attractive enough for fish (high in proteins, natural oils, feed stimulators and attractants).
I most often add hemp oil to the warm seeds for even more attraction.
Conclusion
Cooked seeds can be used in spod mix, a great addition to ground bait mix, hook bait, It can be used on its own, etc.
My opinion is that this is one of the very rare baits that you can cook in your wife’s kitchen (talk to your wife first anyway ?) without stinking up the kitchen with unpleasant aromas, such as cooking chickpeas, corn, fish meal boilies with the aroma of squid, octopus, liver, monster crab and so on.
The smell of cooked seeds is very pleasant, no wonder fish love it.
Till next time …
