Fruit baits

[Norfolkboy]

Has anyone ever used fruit baits before?

I always though hair rigging a chunk of apple would be a great bait, they take fruit flavoured boilies, pastes, pellets, meat etc...

What do you think would work well, and have you had any luck on fruits?

I know currants work well for roach, but would you call that a fruit?

Look forward to hearing some comments

Why not try it yourself?

I'm going too.

The idea of the post was too see if anyone had used them before, and with any luck!

Well I'm going carp fishing this sunday or monday it'll be my first one and ill have some luncheon meat and whatever i buy on saturday. I will try and bring along an apple or something and let you know how it goes. I know grapes don't work by reading anglers mail this week. But anyway while we are here does anyone know how to have 2 hooks on 1 rig for carp fishing?

Why would you want 2 hooks on 1 rig? If you get a double hook up with carp, you'll be in trouble!

i wanted to try friut and luncheon meat at the same time but i guess u cant

Dan,

As you know I am no course fisherman but whilst in my local tackle store the other week I noticed this guy talking about fruit baits etc. This also included additives, one of which was pineapple!! It smelt so strong, I was left wondering whether it worked or not.

Kiwi.

I know that I certainly wouldn't Steve, I doubt many people would!!

Good point Kiwi. Pineapple is a great flavouring on boilies, a pineapple chunk may very well work.

[dan the fishing man]

isn't course fishing with 2 separate hooks with their own baits on them illegal??

[SteveMingo]

well cut me some slack im new to course fishing. Anyways ill think i will just try out the fruit for a little bit on behalf of the forum's investigational team (me and norflokboy lol) what fruit shall i test?
