Many years ago we had a 'who could catch a chub on the most unusual bait' competition. I had chub on banana lumps but the winner caught one on a filter tip.

Cherries are certainly in my encyclopaedia of baits from the 1970s. Never tried them though...

I seem to remember Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall catching a carp on an early 'River Cottage' using Sugar Puffs.

I've caught carp on hair rigged strawberries and roach and grayling on trotted pomegranate seeds (now I wonder what they resemble?) :wink:
