How To Prepare Spicy Hempseed!

Hemp, for a long time now, has been classed as one of the true, carp fishing greats. This small seed has the ability to keep fish feeding like no other, with a milky white centre and hard crunchy shell outer, the fish simply adore grubbing around for long periods over this bait. The small profile of this incredible particle bait keeps the fish sifting on the spot for prolonged periods, often stirring them up into a feeding frenzy in an attempt to sieve through every last grain. Hemp is effective all year round, but come the later parts of the year when the fish have seen a great deal of boilies, small particle baits such as this come into their own with their ability to trip up the wariest of carp.

When it comes to preparing hemp, it could not be simpler. Due to its size and the process to make hemp split, it is clear when the particle is ready and safe to use. Like all particle baits, fresh is always best and if you have the time to prep the hemp at home, you can tailor it to your own angling. Other than being cost effective, preparing your very own hemp and freezing it for a later date means that you have to simply defrost a bag before going fishing.

This simple, how-to guide on creating supercharged spicy hemp will aim to showcase the ease of preparation and customisation of this classic little seed. Not only will it save you pennies, you will further enhance the taste receptors and appeal of this all time classic, driving the fish into a feeding frenzy as they encounter the spicy spark of this super boosted hemp
