How To Prepare Perfect Particles

Right now is the time to be carrying out your prep for the forthcoming spring. Batch cooking chilis and soups, hand-rolling your special hookbaits, respooling your reels and restocking your tea and coffee supplies. A lot of us also prepare particle ready for the start of new campaigns, to help you out with this we have put together a 'how to' on preparing your particle perfectly for spring!

TIGERS: Pre-soak for 24hrs and then bring to the boil and simmer for 20-40 minutes.  

MAPLES: Pre-soak for 24hrs and boil for 20-30 minutes. After boiling, maples can be allowed to ferment if they are left in their own water for several days. To speed up this process, add a tablespoon of sugar during the boiling process.

BRAZILS: Pre-soak for 24hrs and boil for 45 minutes (this is crucial otherwise they float). Follow those guidelines and you should achieve a nut which will sink very slowly.

TARES: Pre-soak for 12-14hrs and then bring to the boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes. 

HEMP: Pre-soak for 12-14hrs and then bring to the boil and simmer until it splits (approximately 30 mins)

GROATS: No pre-soaking necessary, just bring to the boil and simmer for a minute. For best results, leave in water for 12hrs, stirring occasionally.
