Hemp is FANTASTIC! The creamy white 'sprout' simply bursts out of the shell. Brilliant results .....fish over a bed of confidence!
Hinders Chinese Hemp – Premium Oily Attraction Hinders Chinese Hemp is a larger, oil-rich strain of hempseed that’s been carefully selected for its exceptional oil and nutrient profile. This variety releases significantly more natural attractants, essential fatty acids, and amino compounds than standard hemp, stimulating powerful feeding responses from carp, barbel, chub, and bream.
When cooked, the seed cracks open to reveal a creamy sprout that oozes oils and proteins into the water. These create both visual and chemical food signals — a potent combination proven to attract and hold fish in the swim for longer.
Key Features • Larger, oil-dense Chinese-grown hempseed for stronger scent and attraction • Naturally rich in Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids — key for fish metabolism and energy • Releases amino acids and natural sugars that stimulate sustained feeding • Creates a dense slick and scent trail that spreads through the entire water column • Perfect for carp, barbel, chub, bream & tench • Excellent in particle mixes, spod mixes, or on its own • Can be used as hookbaits – simply pick out the best split seeds and store them in a small pot with a dash of Hemp Oilor Betalin for added pulling power
The Science Behind the Attraction Chinese Hemp’s higher oil content (up to 35% natural oil) and amino acid profile mimic the chemical cues fish associate with natural invertebrate and seed food sources. As the seed breaks down, it releases L-arginine, glutamic acid, and alanine — key amino triggers that stimulate chemoreceptors in fish, encouraging them to feed confidently and repeatedly. This makes Chinese Hemp one of the few natural baits that not only attracts fish visually and by scent, but also triggers a neurological feeding response based on instinct.
Preparation Guide • Soak for 24 hours in cold water • Boil or simmer for 25–35 minutes until most seeds split and white shoots appear • Leave to cool in the natural cooking juices to retain maximum oil and flavour
Top Tip Add a glug of Hinders Hemp Oil for a rich, nutty slick, or Chilli Hemp Oil for a spicy edge that cuts through cold or coloured water. Both enhance natural food signals and increase bait detection range — perfect for pressured venues or slow conditions.

Easy to cook hemp not big enough for hook bait in my opinion but great for feed

This hemp was a lot smaller than I expected. Especially for the price!!

Chinese Hempseed
Ordered 10 kg of the Chinese Hempseed. It is slightly more expensive than other suppliers but the quality was better. Larger seeds that split well after a 24hr soak. If the quality of your hemp matters to you I would suggest you buy from Hinders.

A forgotten commericial match bait.
Hemp is a good quality, easily spilts when cooking, would suggest soaking it the night before as this will speed up the process of cooking.
Cover with plenty of boiling water.
Leave for 24 hours.
Add two ferrous fumarate iron tablets.
Bring to a boil, simmer for 30 minutes.
Every five minutes test with a pin until tares feel ‘hookable “.
Rinse and cool in cold water.
Use, or bag up and freeze. They actually improve with freezing.
This works. Every time.
Used this mix many times and it is a terrific groundbait with small pellets incorporated. Had many big bags of Barbel on the Severn using it and will continue to do so.
A good Hinders product, the wafters are as per the excellent Hinders standards, all in the tub are rolled/formed spot on and that strong Blitz smell is very characteristic. The liquid I've used to very lightly glaze the wafters over a couple of weeks and considering how dense in texture the wafters are the liquid is absorbed very quickly.
