The lets choose Benny a new reel thread

Coarse

Boiled Potatoes

Following on from Gregs post on dried blood. It is often mentioned in old books on angling and I do not think many anglers use it now. It will be intersting to see how you get on with it Greg. It made me think of potatoes ; also often mentioned in old books for carp. I buy a small tin of potatoes from Morrisons occasionally as a back up; not really that nice but handy on occasions. It  made me think they are ready made perfect for a bait as I believe they are part cooked "par boiled". Only 19p ...
