Hi

Where is the cheapest place to buy Sweetcorn in the tin?
Not interested in the frozen stuff.


I see a lot about the Chefs larder 2kg tins but are they any cheaper than buying the cheap stuff from Tesco/Lidl/Aldi

I know you said your not interested in frozen stuff

but it has some big advantages over the tinned stuff for a start you can come up with your own flavoured corn very easy pineapple , garlic, and bloodworm are 3 that I have used in the past
and of course the price difference is about 4 or five times cheaper

for instance FARMFOODS
750g Farmfoods Sweetcorn 3 for £2 £1.33 per kg just split if up in potion sizes let it thaw a bit so its soft and tip your choice of flavour shake so its all coated and whack it in the freezer
just saying

Couldn't agree more.... Also works to keep the cool box cooler for longer!

Nowhere near as effective as the tinned stuff though

In reply to Post #6
yes and I have found its much better and more effective than the tinned stuff too as you can make your own flavours win win

Isn't the whole point of using sweetcorn is too....well just use sweetcorn besides it doesn't need a flavour

Sweetcorn is successful because its, well sweetcorn. Not strawberry or vanilla or any other flavor you fancy pending what video youve been watching. And the frozen stuff isnt as good as tinned. and Ive bought a shed load from these guys. These are 3kg tins under £4 based in Shenstone near Lichfield.

It's the cooking process of tinned corn that makes it better than the frozen stuff. Nothing wrong with the frozen stuff as such, it's just not as good

Doesn't need a flavour... well that's a bit narrow minded... dare to be different..

We use so many additives in our baits I say let the fish eat something without them for a change.

Why...carp love bread but I wouldn't chuck any additives over it

well thats one way of looking at it but if your fishing a water thats seen a lot of sweetcorn I have found its a big edge making it different

and only in my experience of course but as posted my Pineapple flavoured and Garlic flavoured sweetcorn really works well I was catching while others around me were blanking Exactly the same with Tiger nuts too the small things can make the biggest difference
look around see what others are doing and do something different has always been my motto

I've never found any difference between canned or frozen sweetcorn and will happily use either, but, if its claimed that tinned is best, could it be because tinned has salt added as a preservative and frozen does not having just looked at labels on a bag of frozen and a tin.

And we all know how much people like to add salt to bait as its a well known attractor.

Sweetcorn, you won't find that anywhere near my plate. so I'm no expert. But someone once told me that the tinned is a lot more softer than the frozen stuff? Maybe that's the reason a lot of people recon it's a lot better.. A lot more palatable, Maybe?

It's because tinned is cooked , frozen isn't

Didn't Simon Scott catch most of his Wraysbury fish on bright orange tutti flavoured tinned corn?

Tinned corn is the best, and well worth liquidising a bit of it. All the tiny bits will keep the fish going nuts for ages.
You can buy tins of creamed corn that are ideal for adding to some pellets and chops to get something extra going on if you are not adding loads of corn.

well over 16 years ago while mainly fishing in Europe I started using Pescaviva Natural White Sweetcorn while everyone else was using the normal yellow or maize

and Pescaviva had something like 10 different flavours Scopex ,Cheese,TuttiFrutti, Vanilla ,Strawberry, Giant Prawn,Trout Pellet ,Aniseed are some that I remembered not tried them all though

and then to cut down costs I started flavouring my own and they all seemed easily as effective and in some cases Im certain they worked better

but use whatever you feel confident in but make your own mind up dont be put off by people`s opinions that havent really used the options
