natty Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Does anyone know if there is anyway to present hemp on the hair? Would it be possible to thread the hemp onto some cotton via the use of a normal needle and then tie this in a little ball attached d-rig style? Also is the kryston bogey stuff any good?

salokcinnodrog Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yes and yes! If you thread Hemp onto the Hair then I would suggest that you use Uncooked Hemp for the Hookbait (NOTE THIS IS FOR THE HOOKBAIT ONLY!). Definitely needs to be dry for it to stick to the Bogey.

ozric Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I have used articial hemp on a hair before but to be honest if you are fishing over a bed of hemp the type of bait doesn't need to be hemp, any thing small, dark and balanced will work due to the nature of the carps method of feeding. What ever is sitting on the hemp will get hoovered up. Just not anything bright they stands out against the hemp to avoid the possibility of spooking the fish.

Lol, I even remember a few instances of a Bare Hook being cast out over Hemp and catching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
