Preparing Perfect Hemp

Cooking Hemp Seed:

Preparing the perfect hemp seed for fishing is neither time consuming nor very complicated. There are many ways to 'improve' the final finish but stick to the basics and you can not go wrong!

Place Hemp in pan with plenty of water (at least 4 times the volume of Hemp - Stir occasionally whilst bringing to the boil. Boil rapidly for 10 min's or until the first seed has split.

Simmer until all seeds have split. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process. Top with Cold water and allow to stand for a few hours.

Drain once more and add a few caps of Braham & Murray Extra Strong Hemp Oil. This will replace the natural oils lost during the boiling process and enhance the final bait.

There are a number of tips that will improve the final finish of the cooked hemp. Soaking the 'raw' seed overnight or for 24 hours does slightly improve the quality and again marginally reduce the initial 'first to split' time.

During the boiling process many of the natural oils that the fish find so attractive are boiled out. These can be replaced with Braham & Murray Extra Strong Hemp Oil, the oil is a complicated infusion of micro hemp extracts and pure Hemp Oil. The product is unrivaled in the market place and a must for all anglers.

Try grading the Hemp. In the bag will be a good number of bigger seeds. Running the bag of hemp though a riddle should sort them out! Now the cunning part. Use a needle and pass it though the bigger grains; use braid for the thread and pass the needle from the flat end of the seed and out the 'pointed' side. Discard any seeds that crack or split. Place the necklace of hemp in the boiling water [don't forget to tie the two ends of braid together!] and allow to boil for a little time less than the rest of the hemp - only allow the hemp to just split.

Use the necklace of hemp as individual hook baits. You can either remove each grain and thread on hook via the holes made by the needle or tie the braid in a simple knot around each grain -remember to use plenty of spare thread in the beginning if using this method - and use by tucking the hook under the braid, a simple and effective method of hair rigging hemp - this will convert your fish to bite ratios back in your favour!
