Buying cheap hemp is generally counter productive. It's rarely of a decent quality. Better to go to somewhere like hinders to buy quality if ordering online , unless you can find a local stockist

Not if you know the difference between good and poor hemp it isnt.And nothing is a rip off unless you are forced to buy it lol.And like I said mail ordering stuff is a minefield and with hinders you are guaranteed to get good quality, so unless you can physically travel and see what you are buying it's not a risk Id take

People confuse the word cheap for poor quality. Good value might be a better phrase to use. No idea where you are based. Backhurst. Baits Nr. Guildford £27.83 for 15kg. Fresh & good quality.

Has anyone tried the French dry hemp from BAF? I used to use hinders for the same reason IP recommended them, but the prices are getting a bit pokey and they can't seem to hold stock.

The french hemp is what most of the cheaper gear is now, very small and doesn't split very well

However looks a lot like the tiny snails you see in lakes and rivers. if You're going down the naturals route it fits that bill.

But looks is where that comparison ends, so not too sure on the relevance as they have completely different kind of attraction? There are 2 particles I'm very particular about, hemp and tigers. Imo both are worth spending the extra money on if needed to get the best quality.

I completely agree with this, never scrimp on hemp and tigers. I always get my hemp and tigers from hinders, you really can tell the difference, plus Steve always has offers and codes on for discount on the FB page, it's great stuff and worth the extra money, used them for years 👍
