If the choice of complementary foods can only be approached from an economic point of view, then the choice of bait is a serious issue, which directly depends on what kind of fish you need to catch. Earthworms, dung worms, maggots, bloodworms are considered universal bait.
Suitable seasonal insects and molluscs, on which any fish peck. Non-predatory fish are often caught for semolina, bread, makukha or pearl barley. Predatory fish prefers worms, mollusks, insects.
Things to remember when choosing
You need to find an acceptable ratio of action and rod test.
Before you buy a rod, think about where you will most often fish. Pick up a fishing rod, taking into account the peculiarities of fishing places.
Earthworm.
Everyone knows about the use of an earthworm in fishing, and this bait remains relevant to this day. The earthworm is perfectly caught: roach, perch and gudgeon. When fishing with an earthworm, every fisherman can be sure that the fish will not fall off the hook. Removing the earthworm from the hook, in principle, will take a lot of effort and time, and the fish will not be able to do this at all.
Not infrequently, knowledgeable anglers divide the worm into several parts, this will increase the catch and the amount of bait.
Earthworms, as a rule, can be found in heaps of manure or black soil, but for this you will have to go out of town and visit the nearest village. Those who are looking for an easy way should just visit the nearest market or pet store.
If you are a beginner, buy an all-purpose Bolognese rod.
Having equipped the fishing rod with a reel and having collected full tackle, you need to practice a little, master the casting technique and then get ready for fishing.
Fish food can be prepared on your own, but after two days it will start to smell unpleasant, so if you need to store food for more than two or three days, it is better to buy ready-made food.
For bait, buy dung worms, as they are tastier, smellier, faster and attract fish better than others.
Prepare or purchase food
Usually experienced fishermen prepare complementary foods on their own. They use just about anything that can attract fish. Most often, millet groats are prepared, which in a semi-cooked state resemble caviar, and are added for the smell of crustaceans, maggots, bloodworms. The disadvantage of homemade bait lies in its fragility, because after two days an unpleasant smell begins to emanate from it. Therefore, fishermen who keep bait in the car prefer the ready-made mixture.
Cake.
Makukha is rightfully a universal bait suitable for all types of fish. Makukha can be bought at any specialized fishing store. As an addition to the advantages of Makukha, one can note its low cost. In general, there is no need to talk about it much: an effective, not expensive and easy-to-use bait.
Bread.
Bread, as a rule, is used by anglers for bait and is rarely taken as a full-fledged bait. However, many anglers often resort to it as a means for catching crucian carp. For most other fish, unfortunately, bread is suitable only as a complementary food and no more.
The above examples of bait, oddly enough, are not the only ones. Inventive fishermen often use snails, leeches, and anything else that comes their way. By turning on the imagination and having more patience, everyone can choose the most convenient bait for him.
