What bait to use for chumming when fishing in reservoirs

For chumming when fishing in reservoirs, you can mix tofu, eggs, wheat bran, extruded pellets, coarse cornmeal, sweet potato and nori. This combination makes a chum bait that fish find very appealing; after the tofu and eggs ferment, the smell is quite strong, so you can give it a try. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Tofu 500g, eggs 3, wheat bran 500g, extruded pellets 20g, coarse cornmeal 500g, sweet potato 200g, nori 30g,

2. First peel the sweet potato, then cut it into slices with a knife and mince it, then put it in a pot and steam for 10 minutes; put the eggs in to steam along with it. Once steamed, take them out at the same time, peel the eggs and let them cool; after cooling, chop the eggs into fine pieces, and stir-fry the wheat bran separately in a flat-bottomed pan over low heat until fragrant, then set aside.

3. Put the tofu in a plate and crumble it with your hands, then pour in the chopped eggs and mix and knead evenly. Then add the wheat bran and sweet potato and knead them in too. Once the ingredients are mostly mixed, add the coarse cornmeal and nori, and repeatedly knead and mix so they fully blend together; finally sprinkle in the extruded pellets and mix and stir, and this chum bait is ready. After making it, take a canning jar, pour all the ingredients in, seal it and store it for 3-5 days, and then you can take it out for chumming when fishing.

Chum bait made this way can attract fish and get them to bite, so anyone interested can give it a try.
