What Is the Best Bait for Catching Big Fish? A Full Guide to Bait Selection

Angling in our country first appeared in the Old Stone Age of primitive society and has a history of several thousand years to this day. When fishing, everyone hopes to catch a big fish, so what bait should be used to catch big fish?

1. What bait should be used to catch big fish?

For catching big fish, bloodworms, earthworms, pig liver, chicken liver, duck liver, clam meat and river crab meat are all good baits. In addition, you can also make your own dough bait, mainly using natural plant materials, taking an appropriate amount of soybean flour, wheat flour and so on, adding shrimp powder, and kneading it directly with water.

2. What are the principles for preparing chum?

The chum you prepare yourself should achieve the effect that the fish "cannot eat their fill, cannot dissolve it, and will not swim away". For this reason, the following principles should be mastered when preparing chum:

First, the chum must be "loose and fragrant". Because the chum is very fragrant and also dispersed, the fish are reluctant to leave no matter what, and they can never eat their fill.

Second, the chum must have bright colors. The colors to which fish are most sensitive are red, white and yellow; the eyesight of fish is about 1 m, so the chum you make should come as close as possible to these three colors and be made somewhat heavier in specific gravity. Only then can it sink to the bottom after being scattered into the water, and the amount scattered at one time should not be too much, so as to avoid attracting small fish floating at the water surface.

Third, the chum should contain a certain amount of granular matter and also powder; its granules should have a certain stickiness and only slowly break apart after falling into the water, so that the fish can be kept cruising within the nest; its powder can lure the fish into the nest.

Fourth, fish like fragrant, fishy and stinky smells. Therefore, the chum must have characteristics such as fragrance, fishiness and stinkiness to gather the fish.

Big fish mostly like meat bait, so when choosing bait, we should choose meat bait with a fishy smell as much as possible; only in this way can we attract big fish to take the hook.
