Homemade Catfish And Carp Baits - Amazing Predigested Fish and Shellfish Meal Extracts
Through the 1960's, work by scientists in Uruguay, stood out above all others. (This was part of a global effort, to find a dietary supplement for undernourished and starving children in the third world.)
Methods of enzyme controlled digestion of fish meal were being tested. The aim was to convert fish meals it into highly digestible protein concentrate, while retaining essential 'omega' oils, for good health.
Homemade carp bait makers and commercial bait manufacturers all round the world have benefited from this research ever since! This really started the 'ball rolling,' of the world wide use of preparatory predigested ingredients in carp and catfish baits.
In catfish and carp baits, such predigested extracts enhance the nutritional benefits of ingredients, at less energy cost to the fish, and massively improve the fish attracting properties of baits.
One of the greatest examples of predigested protein for bait use, apart from the fish and shellfish meal extracts is top quality casein. This has a 'possible' predigested protein value of around 96 %. Top quality 'lean' fish meal extracts have with a 'possible' predigested protein value around 96 % too.
These protein levels are among the very highest possible for use in exceptional fishing baits. These examples represent some of the very best nutritional, quality protein sources, available. Obviously, many ingredients in this category offer you the very best bait attraction, but are not necessarily cheap to purchase!
Such ingredients are at their best when combined with other protein ingredients and extracts; providing a very broad amino acid 'profile' content.
They also help to bring about optimum protein, carbohydrate and fat ratios in your bait, when combined with other quality ingredients.
For example a good ratio of food ingredients in a carp or catfish bait may be:
50 % protein: 45 % carbohydrate: 5 % fat.
More examples of exceptional predigested and protein extracts providing exceptional levels of attractive amino acids are:
* Green and blue lip mussel extract.
* Pure liver powder extract.
* Squid liver extract.
* Fermented shrimp extract.
* Fermented anchovy extract.
* Baby clam extract.
* Oyster extracts.
* Lobworm extract.
* Bloodworm extract.
* Fermented anchovies.
* Fermented crab.
* Corn steep liquor.
* Brewers malt extract.
* Yeast extract.
Commercial bait companies will often quote some of these ingredients as the top attractors in their boilies and bait mixes.
Many of these ingredients are prohibitively expensive to use in very effective high levels for a commercial bait manufacturer to still generate profit.
Therefore, the vast majority of commercially produced, shop-bought baits in boilie, dough or paste form, will only include minimum levels of them; and thereby vastly reducing their powerful attraction effects!
In making your own baits, you can also miss out on the maximum 'impact leverage' of these attractors, by using only moderate levels of them!
These are some of the most effective attractors I have ever used; producing many, many brilliant big fish catches. I tend to use them in very high levels in dough baits and paste baits especially in very powerful fish attracting free offerings.
These ingredients are exceptional in very high levels in 'hook 'wraps' pastes. This is where you mould paste around your hook on a 'hair rig,' and part of the boilie bait, but leave the hook point standing out proud.
You can use these extracts for pulling fish into the swim to stimulate feeding activity. 'Raw' powders and gratings are dampened with attractive oils and liquid amino acids compound. This mixture is placed inside poly vinyl alcohol ('PVA') water soluble 'bait feeding bags.' These bags are attached to the hook and cast out with the hook baits. This is a great technique!
You may wish to maximize your bait attraction and make the very best extraordinarily successful baits. Well, among the list of ingredients above have proven to be some of the most effective catchers in catfish and carp fishing history!
It is definitely in your interests to put the highest possible practical levels of these kinds of ingredients in your baits. I cannot emphasize this enough.
