Croe, with the burley I keep it very simple mate.
I just buy a packet of homebrand bread crumbs and simply just mix it with water and that’s it. I use a small scooper to throw it out every now and again. Does the job for me everytime :)
Cheers :thumbsup:
Do you just use the bread crumbs by themselves and didn't add in tuna oil?

Hi Greg,
Yea a few of my mates like to add in a bit of tuna oil and I have done that too in the past but have had just as much luck without it with just the crumbs and the water :)

Awesome, I will probably just start using that from now on! I usually use tuna oil and bread but then taking public transport back I smell like tuna oil and the whole train can smell it.....

We have been using weet bix finely crushed in the hands and have a common household sponge the coloured ones tied to boat or off the pier soaked in tuna oil and it just sots on top of the water
Been using this method for more than 30 years snd works fine,we also just use frozen packet prawns or cheese or squid or small piece of pillie they all work
