Maple Peas 25kg — Racing Pigeon Feed & Fishing Bait

Maple peas are a versatile, high-protein legume widely used as a racing pigeon feed ingredient and as a proven coarse fishing bait. A traditional pigeon fancier’s staple, they are also a highly effective bait for carp, bream and tench. Supplied in a 25kg sack.

Use as Pigeon Feed

Maple peas are a long-established component of racing pigeon corn mixes, valued for their high protein and energy content. They help support muscle development and stamina, and are particularly popular as a conditioning feed during the racing season. Feed as part of a balanced mixed corn ration.

  2. Boil for 30 minutes until softened.
  3. Place in a sealed bucket and leave to ferment in a warm area for 2–3 days,
  4. Use as hook bait or loose feed once fermented.
