Sunflower Hearts make great bait (Part Two)
Wednesday, 27th July 2016

In my last blog about them I wrote that in theory they would be an excellent carp and tench bait but at the time I did not have enough to do a proper test with them. However, recently I fished a small river for carp and this time took three kilos of prepared sunflower seeds to try out.

These are Haith's Sunflower seeds and as you can see, they are small pale coloured seeds rather similar to oat groats in colour, shape and size.

now we need to think about adding attraction. to be honest& i don&=site#39;t really think they need any added attraction as to my taste buds they were just fine au naturel, however, I thought it best to try both flavoured and unflavoured hearts, as shown in this photo.

I used these attractors to flavour the bait, #39;t really think they need any added attraction as to my taste buds they were just fine au naturel, however, I thought it best to try both flavoured and unflavoured hearts, as shown in this photo.

I too am a carp enthusiast. I am intrigued. What do you mean buy “prepared sunflower hearts.” Did you soak and boil them up or did you use them straight in a pack bait or some other way?
Thanks

Hi,
Simply soak them overnight and then bring to the boil in the soak. Simmer for 15-20 minutes and allow to cool.
Thanks
