I was told that pots of hookers, popups etc are to classified as lures rather as a animal food item such as bags of boilies.

You won't get penalised for 3 or 4 pots of wafteters or hard hookers. Stick em in your tackle bag and forget about them. Douanes will be looking for freezer boxes full of bait, bacon, sausages etc. Put yourself in their shoes. You stop a van, pop the back and side doors open and you would soon work out if it's possibly carrying bags of bait. You're not going to spend hours rummaging through every little bag, holdall or tackle box

100 points for the obvious but I don’t want to use them I prefer having a bit of buoyancy in my hookbait

You can actually catch carp on straight bottom baits it's been done before you know

I didn’t actually think about that 🤦‍♀️ Sorry blonde moment lol

Well if hookbaits don’t come under the bracket of being banned be a lot easier then

Exactly what I was told ..hookbaits are ok ...not to happy with the prospect of not being allowed to use my own boilies.......or even worse to be stopped and then having your passport stamped as 'smuggler '
Only they leave the part out of 'boilie smuggler '...

I thought you could take hookbaits anyhow as theyre not deigned to be eaten and classed as lures, probably wrong though

Lake I’m going to next year has started two different house boilies, not doing any hookbaits. My friend that I’m going with is taking 2 pots of hookbaits with him hiding them in his van, I’m starting to think that’s a good idea else we will have to fish straight bottom baits or find some where over there that sells them.

Plot thickens! It was not anglers it was a lake owner with a lorry trying to take **** loads of boilees over!

If fisheries price there house bait to high then anglers won’t buy and won’t feed the fish, owner then needs to supplement this out of his own pocket!
