Tench Fishing: Tench Baits 

THANKS to everyone who has watched my tench fishing videos and given them the thumbs up and given me some great comments. If there is anything you would like me to cover in upcoming videos then please just let me know in the comments and I will do my best!

This better work for me Sunday mate, because I won’t be a happy chappy

This spring and now into the new season most of my success has been on mussels,bought from the freezer department in the local supermarket. Mussels have accounted fir well over 50+ Tench caught on feeder and float targeting two different waters.

Interesting films paul. One thing I have a different opinion on is that casters are loads easier to keep on the bank for several days than maggots ESPECIALLY RED MAGGOTS. You know my background Paul and you know my bait experience. You will no doubt have noticed that red maggots tend to be slightly smaller than other colours. They also have less tolerance for heat and tend to die quicker than other colours in hot weather. Get any maggots wet (if it rains) and they are often buggered. The point about loads of maize is correct but casters are still easier to keep on the bank with no refrigerator. Try simply putting them in a black bin liner (or smaller doggy bag), squeezing all the air out then tying up and putting inside another black bag. With no light or air penetration the casters will remain the same colour for weeks. They will start to smell after a few days but this is easily resolved by just washing them. You can also store them in a sealed polystyrene box and if this is kept in the cool (under your bedchair) the casters won't even start to smell for a good 5-7 days.

Well done Paul cracking video again mate i used to use muscles for tench going back to my child hood days 👍

Just a tip re flavouring maggots. A few drops on a couple of cotton wool balls. Just pop them into the bait box the night before. 👍

Great vid Paul. One venue here in Ireland I'd a bumper haul of tench. All on chickpea dyed red on the bank, hair rigged with fake corn, they wouldn't touch anything else that day.

Great vid as always, nice and informative 👍🏻 loving the regular content, my favourite tench angler along with Mr gribble. Tight lines 🎣

In terms of meat, (I havent fished properly for years) i used to always keep a jar of paprika handy, and made paprika meat for every session, the tench went nuts for it!

tinned kitten food, mixed with brown ground bait and used as hook bait. Great for Tench.

Great video. Off on my first dedicated tench only session tomorrow. Sure this video will help me a lot thanks 👍

Great video Paul - I'll hopefully be starting my Tench campaign in the coming weeks and look forward to trying the popped up maggot rig.

Another brilliant video Paul and great production too. 👍

Amazing bloke, so much knowledge. Thank you for sharing

Thanks mate brilliant love tench.

nice one mate, some good advice there and well presented, thanks

Well done Paul another great video! Really intrigued by the chod style rig you use, I’ll be looking at that more in my own fishing!

Chopped worm n caster! One a best combo going!

Another very interesting vid Paul,thanks!

Really great video very informative 👏🏻thank you

Excellent insight and some great tips.

I am from Poland and I am wondering how do you avoid taking bait (ex. maggots) by little fish. Do You even have little fish in GB? :)

Really enjoyed this video

great channel and great products !

Helo paul i am now joining a big 100 acre gravel pit in new season .which is mainly open water few wooded areas . my question is do tench actively look four sodium like the carp.in baiting situtions thanks

Great video thank you

great video lots of information

I caught two tench today in 2 hrs using 6 maggots and a size 12 hook with 12lb line

Great video paul...could you demonstrate the set ups on the rigs as I've just started fishing for tench ie worm kebab cheers mate 😊

Good job mate

Hello Paul, what do you think of Nash Scopex Squid for tench fishing?Thank you for your answer;Jean marie France

Prawns? They seem to work really well and produce violent takes . . . .

Very informative video. Do you pick up more Carp and bream on your tactics?

Really good video, do you work for Nash,? wild tench that never seen corn will eat it, I found this on wild water same for wild carp, and I found the same with pop ups, no one putting boilie in but they still love a pop up,

Meat is a great bait but you can't trust it on the alarms, small silvers can easily whittle it away in a couple of minutes without moving the feeder

great video. what coated braid hooklink would you use for the tench? many thanks again paul.

Love Tench but haven't caught any this year 😭

👍

Chickpeas are brilliant

Where are you fishing

Because u don't fish in a tench only lake like this guy ripoff his set will cost you 100$
