Natural Extracts in Top Fishing Baits and Alternative Proven Baiting Techniques
Freshwater flies, bloodworm, insect larvae, water snails, and all kinds of sea and freshwater shellfish like mussels etc, can all be incorporated into your fishing baits, giving a natural taste and crunch factor, and are available from many pet and fishing bait companies.
It is important, to make your bait as different as possible from the 'normal' for your water, to give you a competitive advantage.
As an example, I used a bait which was purely based on proprietary 'coldwater goldfish food' which instead of being the usual pellets form, was based on natural nutritional extracts like spirulina, impregnated into rice flakes.
I was using this bait as a test bait to find a successful alternative protein based bait. It incorporated daphnia (water fleas,) and spirulina (algae,) together; forming a truly 'unique' natural, alternative boilie.
I mixed the flakes with a small amount of semolina, as I did not know how much the flakes (based on ground rice,) would bind. After taking what seemed like literally hours to mould each individual bait by thumb and fore fingers, I convinced myself it would all be worth the effort!
I did not wish to 'contaminate' the bait with extra semolina binder and reduce its effectiveness. I prepared 'hair rigs' in advance of fishing and carefully dried the paste hook baits until they went hard and tough enough to stay on the rig.
At the lake, as it turned out, within half an hour of casting out, I hooked the lake record fish at that time weighing around 35 pounds in weight.
It was a valuable lesson in the attraction of alternative protein based baits, and the benefits of their use! This was on a fishery where extremely good quality milk protein and fish meal baits had dominated catches at that time!
So I definitely recommend you look into other alternative 'natural extracts' to add to your secret bait armory too. There are so many more bait edges to exploit! (Warning; this article is protected by copyright.)
