Boilies for Tench

[Fergal Scully]

Hoards of small rudd in a tench water I fish so maggots, caster, corn , bread are all impossible to fish with. I've tried boilies and had quite a lot of tench, fishing method feeder with crushed boilie in the mix. I've found tench are not too fussy what flavour I've used so far. I've caught while feeding 12mm nash strawberry crush, stickie krill, and had a local bait maker make me some strawberry and scopex which also worked well. Either a pop up or wafter on the hook.

I find that 3 grains of corn on a size 8 hook prevents the silvers? I can side hook small boilies too, and still use my preferred lift method on the float that way. Strangely I’ve never done that good with meat doing the same?

Hi Simon, they are probably good baits? But by “extensive research” I think he means copying others!
