Default Wotsits versus Quavers

Am off fishing this weekend chaps and have a bit of a dilemma re the snack I should take with me.

I like Quavers but I also like Wotsits, what do you think?

Will the cheese put the fish off?

What about the budget brands from Tescos or Morrisons? Are they any good or just named brands in different packaging?

Should I just splash out and get myself a tin of Pringles or a large bag of Kettle chips instead?

I once had a bag of Cheetos but they only lasted 47 seconds so don't go there, I will never use them again.

Am a newbie to snacking whilst fishing so any help appreciated.

Pip pip!

The Pirate.

I opened a packet of wotsits this afternoon and noticed that they were not up to the usual standard, indeed some of them were broken

Do you think I should send them back to the manufacturer for repair? The only thing is I dont know if I could bear to be without them.

First off, get a grip of yourself man, Walkers Pickled Onion are the bizz.

Have you tried those small sushi packs you get from the supermarkets? That and 2 wispas, flask of tea, bottle of original lucozade and your sorted. Provided of course you start the day with a full scottish breakfast which must include stornoway black pudding, 2 tottie scones, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, square sausage and mushrooms. Heart attack is optional.

Quavers all the way, they melt in your mouth.

Watsits stick to your teeth although you could use one as a sight bob.

Thanks for the fast delivery of the line, look forward to testing it out.

I think each to their own. Who cares if the fabled wotsits are you favourite, or if the premium quavers is your go to snack while on the water. Its the snack that best suited to the individual angler in question that matters regardless of flavour.

Biltong. Use Biltong. You can drop it in the water and it won't matter too much, a small piece will last you a long time because it's revolting, it won't get all squashed in your pocket, you'll look like you know what you're doing when it comes to snacking and you can always use it to bang a fish on the head if you're taking one.

Stay away from whotsits. I mean, the people that invented them weren't sure what to call them so you can bet they have no idea what went into them. On top of that all the orange stuff will get over your (cheap, I've read on other threads) fly-line. It would be OK if you were using a Terenzio silk because they are orange anyway.

For real hard core snacking, use a rubber band: very satisfying to chew on, but there's something missing. Like a calorie maybe.

If you need a carb based snack, get something with a bit of density. This is not for eating so much as spitting out because the heavy oaty thing is no for you. And if you happen to be ground-baiting by spitting it out, well, it serves the world right. People shouldn't make heavy inedible snacks that not even MSG can make edible. That includes pretty much anything that was made with a whole grain (ew) and anything that includes an oat (apart from porridge. Cold porridge is a great snack when covered in sugar, but not so good bankside).

So, that's that sorted. Go and start another thread.
