I'm going to give brazil nuts a try for the next few weeks, I've never tried them before so after any advice using them?
I've only ordered a kilo and a couple of kilos of peanuts.
Was thinking of using half one on the hair and maybe crush a few in a bag with it?

Cook in boiling salted water until they go rubbery. I clean the skin off and use a whole one one a wafter rig. Trim if necessary. A few shavings in a pva mesh bag on the hook. Test each one for bouyancy before casting out as they vary a lot.

Found a single Brazil to be best fished over something like corn or hemp

You don't need to use a lot . Are you buying for a group?

No I will only be buying a kilo tops, just wondered if anyone did them in bigger quantities.

Half a brazil fished popped up like a top hat, check buoyancy first as mentioned but if not buoyant enough drill out for a bit of cork, caught me a few carp when the goings been difficult although I find/think they're not a quick bite tactic, probably 24/48 hrs they come into their own for me picking up bites, longest I have left one out was 5 days in winter (December) fishing out in France resulted in a 67lb+ common though, rather than fish over shavings of Brazil I prefer to fish them over a small ping pong sized PVA bag of kibbled peanut with a touch of rock salt.

One of the most secret squirrel baits out there Bren. Accounted for numerous brook fish and also some of the bigguns that have allegedly been caught on boilies.
Keep it small mate, tip of the horn with a sliver of fly anglers foam butted up next to it, critically balanced and a real dainty presentation.
Have confidence in it mate, despite it not reeking with smell, believe me that once it's in the water it is pushing out attractor signals like you wouldn't believe.
Tinker with your presentation and get it bang on.
Awesome bait.

I remember the first time I saw someone fish them - he fished half a bait, and crushed the other half and put in a bag.
Couldn't believe how much it flattened the water off with the oils coming out of it.

I always end up eating them.
I fish them over particles. Especially if I see alot of people using tigers.
Just buy a small bag from the supermarket.
I always score the outside of the nut as well.
Plenty of good advise here by previous people.
