bobstains Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Can you take luncheon meat over the border with you? and one assumes that there is no problem taking meat/fish based boilies, halibut pellets? Just thought id check before i have to dump £x worth of bait at the ferry port. thanks Quote
noknot Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 How many cans were you thinking of taking Bob? Maybe best to buy it there? Garlic flavoured LM would be great Quote
bluebirdjones Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 I took some when I went a couple of years ago but they didn't search our van. It didn't even enter my mind luncheon meat wouldn't be allowed I assumed its OK. Quote
bobstains Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Posted June 25, 2009 I heard they did a garlic one out there, will keep my eyes peeled. I was thinking of using it for the cats and carp so I was planning on taking 10+ cans. If i can definatley get it out there ill prob take a few cans with me and buy the rest there. I'll have a quick flick through a customs website to see if i can find a definate answer. Quote
noknot Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 If it's not allowed, try black and white striped baits fished as a snowman rig, tipped off with a piece of black fake corn , glugged in onion oil, on a bicycle rig, can't fail! Have fun and good luck! Quote
noknot Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 how about snails? No good! They must be black and white with stripes Quote

cal35 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 id go for getting the garlic one out there mate ! it is an awesome bait and i seem to remeber a guy ripping apart the royalty for the barbel with garlic luncheon meat when he got back from france! Quote
carpquarry Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 HI I have tryed the garlic LM over here but with no joy but standard one was good also have never been asked what I was taking over. In the shops out here I have not seen LM. You cant beat a cube of LM freeline in the margings Good luck with the fishing. Gordon Quote
steve_carp Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 SNAILS!!!!! he going to the birthplace of them p.s dont eat the shells Quote
bobstains Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 Hi all Just to clarify, I phoned customs and you CAN take luncheon meat over the border to France. I asked about maggots and he said to ring the French Embassy and ask them. I havent rang them yet. Quote
