Spam alert !

Went on another raid of my local Home Bargains yesterday. Pleased to report the shelf was full, so it would have been rude not to take just a few more tins.
Plenty left for my York angling friends.

Don't have to worry too much about them up my way

Impossible to escape round here. I use pretty big chunks of meat to try and avoid hooking them but I normally have at least one a session

Used this on commercials for the pasties, they love it, & so do I . Absolutely stinks of garlic.

That looks promising Stuart , I will have to track some down ,problem is resisting scoffing the stuff on the bank .

 

[Rhys Perry]

How tough is it, can it be used directly on the hook?

I used to use Plumrose Garlic slicing sausage, sadly no longer available unless anyone knows different. One unusually mild winters day I got a bit peckish and ate quite a bit of it. After walking about 2 miles back to the car sweating in my neoprene chest waders they didn't half stink of garlic! They continued to stink of garlic for about 5 years, so beware.

Have just seen that Mainline baits are now selling flavoured luncheon meat, bit pricy at 3.99 a tin but the Activ8 may be worth a punt

Having struggled to find any more Hot and Spicy Spam in my neck of the woods I emailed SPAM UK. They sell it to Poundland, B & M and Home Bargains apparently. So those are the places to check if anyone is on the lookout!

I can confirm that chub absolutely love it though!

 

[Derek Funcks]

Chris, Asda and Tesco, usually, have TONS of the stuff

 

[Stuart Brookes]

I can confirm the Hot & Spicy spam is very popular with staffie's. While fishing the Trent with my mate his furry friend pilfered a nearly full tin out of my bait box, that will have been fun in their bivvy later

I was using it by punching it out with a meat punch & hooking it direct, its fairly firm but I was only fishing in the margins on a lake, or at most 30 foot out, stayed on well.But be warned, it does taste good.

Found some smokey bbq spam in b&m today, thought I'd try a tray, never heard of it before. Just opened it and it reeks! Might go and get another tray tomorrow.
We'll see if it catches.

Tesco always have "Tulip brand" pork luncheon meat and bacon grill at £1.00 a tin.
