The juice from ready prepared hemp I would imagine would be fine although I have never opened a tub or a tin to see what it's like I believe it is cooked in the container so should be natural. Having said the above when I have had unexpected time crop up I have simply soaked normal boilies straight out of the bag in the juice the night before I have gone. The baits can't drink so much juice in this way but it still helps to give them that safer appearance and texture as though they have been out for a while. Hope this helps Shaun Hi Pete, to get the maximum effect of drinking plenty of the liquid in you need to make the baits as dry as possible first.

The make up of the lake is very weedy and the bottom is mainly sand and silt. What is the shortest time i can dehydrate my baits before i can rehydrate with hemp water. Can i also use the ready made hemp instead of making my own. Familiy and a business to run gives me very little time for my fishing. Regards Pete Hi Shaun

Even though the baits were fresh a few days hanging in the trees soon started to dry them up. Well the session turned out to be the best of the year and the first time a brace of 50's had come out of the water and only 1lb off the record. I havent gone to Bluebell but i will be trying it out if my Stropshire club water this coming season.

I became paranoid about the risk of transferring diseases in the summer of 2007 when we had an outbreak of unexplained carp deaths around the Trent river system. Until then I had always used local lake and river water to cook my hemp in, then used that to rehydrate air dried boilies with. Now there's no risk if the water has been thoroughly boiled but I tended to add extra (unboiled) water to the hemp juice and then use that liquid to rehydrate with. I would therefore suggest any water that is used should always be boiled first, or better still, only use water from the lake you intend to fish. I now take home 5 litre bottles of lake water with me at the end of a session and use that to do all my particle preparation and rehydration with.

I was thinking in terms of introducing viruses into other lakes that may be present in your pond. keep up the good work Paul Great article Shaun…very useful :)
