Classic, well-prepared hempseed with a pungent garlic flavour – a real carpy favourite. Hemp will keep carp grubbing around in your swim for far longer than boilies and pellets and the garlic flavour in these only adds to the attraction and all-round profile of the seeds. Berkley Gulp!’s particles are all PVA-friendly, so provide a real edge when used in sticks or solid bags – convenience and effectiveness in one. Provided the seeds remain below the level of the liquid in the tubs, they also remain useable for long periods without going off.
