about 3 weeks ago bought a tin of dy/hemp as a backup.went fishing today forgot my hemp so took out this tin.to say i was dissapointed was an understatment was the worst quality hemp i have ever seen.less than 5 percent of the seeds had split.oil content was very low.threw handfull into the margins tiny drop of oil on the surface.no oil coming off the bait at all.they must have put a capfull of oil in the tin before sealing it.i will never purchase it again it was crap.anybody else come across the same thing.who ever does quality control for the company needs to go to specksavers if they passed this batch of hemp it was pants.

The dynamite tinned stuff is of for feeding and that's it! The only commercialy cooked stuff I've had on the hook is the Mistral stuff in a stubby little jar. I think, there is no real short cut, and you have to cook your hook hemp yourself, that way you know wht your getting.
WhAt I do now, is buy tinned if I'm short and just use my own for hookers.

Mosella tinned hemp is great, plenty of big split grains suitable for the hook. LOADS of oil, drop it in the margins and it looks like an oil slick!

Not just a plug, I really rate it.

Dick have not seen the mosella hemp, who stocks it locally (near coventry here) or online shop to give it a try

Used Dynamite hemp not bad at all & tried their tares don't like them most were split, but plenty of oil in the hemp. You might have just dropped for a bad tin.

Have a look at the Braham & Murray stuff. Good consistancy and splits well. They also do prepared hemp.
