They do one in a tough bread roll. Not easy to find but a slice is great for chub

Heads up, the Aldi and Lidl ones don't actually last well unless refrigerated

The discontinued cheesey one is without doubt the best bait I've ever used.

Using it in a bag, you can coarsely grate some skinned pepperami and Rub it together with some tasty powder like basemix, groundbait or boilie crumb or crushed dog Bix. Get the texture right it works great. Can add anything you like liquid wise.

Agreed, cheezie peperami was devestating. I went as as far as trying to make a replica with cheese and grated peperami, heated the cheese so it melted then add peperami, gunned it into 14mm sausages and chucked in fridge... Caught a few but no where near as many...

In fact after all this time I'm gonna have another go.

I remember fishing catch 22 in Norfolk in the early 2000s with it, the old man and I fish peg 1 and had over 50 runs in 24 hours. Was unbelievable.

I used to use Pepperami 20 years ago hair rigged with some rig foam on top and trim down so it was critically balanced.
And 11mm Halibut pellets as free offerings.
I had some memorable sessions, not so much in big fish but in numbers of fish using it in conjunction with the old style combi rig (amnesia boom section to soft braided hook length).

Great baits in the day. Luncheon meat, peperami and cheese. Cubes of cheese was popular around me at the time. Bet it would still work today in a world where everybody has boilie googles on these could still give you a real edge. Do question the stamp of fish these produce though. Biggest I ever took on the above baits was 26lb but that was in the 90s. Saying that I left it behind for boiled baits and trends i suppose

Around two years ago now I fished meshed luncheon meat on a large pit. 2 sessions, 3 pike on one and two on the other I gave it up. They love it

Around 10 years ago I also tried meshed bread paste around a cork ball on a park lake where they feed ducks because I knew that was the answer. It was not. Camping on said water for 2 weeks at a time was the best way to catch the biggie

In the days when the closed season applied to lakes places such as Farlows and Willow Park used to introduce a few trout and claim to be Any Method Trout Fisheries. To keep the authorities off their backs they wouldn't allow boilies and so Pepperami became the bait of choice and it worked well

I never go out without a tin of spam. A couple of places don't allow meat which is fair enough but mostly it's a bait I'll always use with success.
