Cheese was the first bait I ever used for chub on the Avon back in the 70s as a kid,we used to sit 4or5 to a peg with nuts n bolts for legers cos we couldnt afford proper leads,we caught fish tho more often than not but there was far more chub back then,these days there are better cheaper baits available than cheese but I expect some still use it-As for spuds ,the old time carp men used to parboil them back in Dick Walkers day and thread them on with a baiting needle.
