Sitting there at work thinking ahead of what to fish with on an experimental rod..
Fishing with a clove of garlic popped into my head, so I've done a little search and nothing other than powders has come up.
I gather fishing a whole clove isn't that good?? Has anyone tried this.
Be interesting to see what else people have tried that's around the house and in baits in there powdered form

We did this when we were kids, I don't think we caught anything but did discover garlic cloves float so we fished it like a popup.

One we did have success with during the summer were opal fruits, only lasted an hour or so, but moulded straight on the hook made.for easy fishing 🙂

'Fishing with a clove of garlic popped into my head,'

Just had visions of an angler sitting there with a clove of garlic stuck in their ear, nostril or between the lips.


good luck with the experimentation

Who remembers Matt Hayes Fishing adventures?? He caught using whole Strawberries,

Not allowed post Brexit.

It part of the ‘reset' talks but France is insisting garlic is a French invention so they want concessions on the UKs fishing rights.

I've tried it a few times but never been able to get a bite with it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
