Do-it-yourself feeder bait, recipes, rating of feeder baits that are worth buying

When going fishing with feeder gear, it is important to take care not only of preparing the gear and bait, but also of preparing the bait mixture. A properly selected complementary food composition will allow you to quickly feed a point of the reservoir that is promising for fishing and attract the attention of the fish. Below you can find recipes for the most catchable food for fishing on a feeder and a rating of the best store-bought feeder baits.

Feeder bait in a feeder type method

Why do you need bait when fishing on a feeder?

One of the main principles of feeder fishing is the need to supply a dense food spot into the fished area of the reservoir, which will attract the attention of the fish. To achieve this goal, fishermen point-cast about 8-10 feeders.

It is important that the main part of the feed reaches the bottom surface and is released from the feeder in the right place. To do this, you need to use a sieve, the cell size of which is within 3-4 mm. The moistened food will pass through the cells, the stuck together lumps will break, making the mixture airy. The composition will quickly disintegrate in water and will release a lot of bubbles during the spraying process.

The rate at which bait is washed out depending on how it was fed

Bait for the feeder: what it should be, how it can be improved

When preparing bait mixture, you should pay attention to its consistency. It is important that the porridge does not fall apart in your hand when you mold it into a ball. When fishing areas of a reservoir with a strong current, you should add a little more liquid to the composition than usual, or use closed-type feeders or plastic plugs.

Adding fishing molasses to complementary foods allows the food to temporarily stick together, which is especially important in cases of fishing in the current and can cause a feeling of hunger even in well-fed fish.

When fishing with a feeder in the current, the bait balls must be dense so that the food is washed out as slowly as possible

Using a coarse bait mixture makes it possible to collect a large number of fish in the fished area. To prevent the food from getting lost in the water column, you should pack the mixture into the feeder quite tightly. The mixture should be washed out of the feeder gradually over 5-10 minutes.

Advice! You can add animal components to fish food: crushed maggots and worms, bloodworms.

When fishing in the current, feed balls will roll along the edge, so it is better to hammer the feed into a closed type feeder.
To speed up the process of mixing the bait mixture, anglers use a screwdriver with a whisk. At high speeds, the lumps are broken up well, and complementary foods are saturated with air.

How much bait do you need when fishing on a feeder?

If fishing is carried out in the warm season, it is worth using about 4-6 kg of bait mixture; when fishing a reservoir in winter with a winter feeder, it is necessary to reduce the portion of bait to 2-3 kg.

Composition of bait

Many fishermen use semolina, bran, bread, pea porridge, pearl barley, rolled oats and other types of “human” food as bait. Not only may such options simply be uninteresting to the fish of your dreams, but they can also be dangerous for the reservoir and the fish in it from an environmental point of view. All these products can quickly deteriorate and poison the fishing area.

Industrial baits

and additives are produced taking into account environmental safety requirements and over time dissolve in water without residue, without disturbing the surrounding ecosystem.
They are also developed taking into account the taste preferences of the fish, without leaving it indifferent. In addition, some additives in the bait mixture act as a laxative on the fish, which makes digestion more intense. Hydroplankton 80g x 11pcs.

Flavors vary by season. Vanilla is suitable as a universal all-season option. In spring and the first half of summer, use cinnamon and anise oil; in the second half of summer and autumn, give preference to fruit options. If you decide to go fishing in the midst of the summer heat, when the oxygen content in the water is low, then pay attention to the dill aroma. The fish feels the taste of “freshness” and reacts with particular eagerness to bait. When catching crucian carp, take advantage of the taste of garlic; moreover, this is important not only for groundbait, but also for bait.

The use of flavorings significantly reduces the time of feeding fish, and gives scope for the fisherman’s creativity. By varying the flavors, you can use the same base for different types of fish under different conditions.

Animal feed base

difficult to replace with any artificial components.
Bloodworms, chopped worms or maggots, and sometimes crushed mollusks (pearls, zebra mussels) are often used. These “sweets” attract bream, crucian carp and large roach well. If live additives are used, then you don’t need to add too much of them, as they quickly satiate the fish and they leave the feeding table full, without having tried your bait. Bloodworm 38 for 1 piece.

Large maggot 30 per 1 piece. Colored maggot 15 per 1 piece. Pay special attention to the bloodworm before using it. If it was stored without water or dry, then when added to bait it will float to the surface. To avoid this, you need to moisten or hold the bloodworm in water. In hot weather, it is better to store it in a thermal bag with cold elements, and take it out into the nozzle in portions and place it immediately into a container with water.

As herbal supplements

Cake, makha, hemp, pearl barley, millet and small corn are used (large corn is usually used as bait).
Cake and makha can act both as the basis of bait and as a flavoring addition, depending on the type of fish. Corn is used similarly to worms or bloodworms to attract larger fish. It can be added to groundbait in whole or crushed form, or as a bait. Natural corn cake cubes Karpomania 85 per 1 piece.

Dyes

– are used in two different directions. In some cases, it is necessary to change the color of the bait to be as similar as possible to the bottom of the reservoir. In other cases, the bright shade of the bait attracts curious fish. An individual approach is required for a specific reservoir. If you find yourself in an area unknown to you, mix two small portions of bait, light and dark. This will test the fish's reaction to different colors of bait mixture.

Liquids, bite activators

– enhance the taste, actively stimulate the appetite of the fish.

Molasses

– used by fishermen as an additive to bait, increasing the speed of digestion. It prevents overeating. A fish with a feeling of hunger will not strive to swim far from the bait site; it has a greater chance of trying the bait on the hook.

Attractants and
boosters
are more concentrated flavors and have relatively low consumption.

Dips, sprays

– these are less concentrated flavors used to highlight the bait against the background of the groundbait. They are selected individually during the fishing process, since the preferences of the fish can change more than once, so it is better to have several species with you from different taste groups. These can be sweet fruit and berry or biscuit aromas, sharp “animals” (for example, bloodworm, clam or snail crab), spices, mixtures by type of fish.

Boilies,
dough, pellets,
large plant components are used primarily not so much as bait, but as bait, especially in carp fishing, we will talk about them in one of the following articles.

Methods for making feeder bait at home

Often, inexperienced fishermen do not pay much attention to bait, preferring to visit a specialized fishing store and buy a ready-made mixture. However, this approach does not guarantee success.

By making your own mixture at home, you can be confident in the ingredients and their quality. Many people are scared by the lack of knowledge and experience, but we hasten to reassure you that groundbait is not difficult to prepare, you just need to follow the recipe carefully.

First, you need to know the basics of cooking:

The mixture is divided into two components - base and filler. The base consists of small components, such as dry cereals, grated pastries, crackers, and cookies. The filler is prepared from boiled cereals, cereals, corn, beans and other ingredients.
The filler glues the base ingredients together due to the consistency of its components, creating a plastic and soft nutritional mixture. At the same time, the bait should have the property of gradually breaking down, reaching the bottom and leaving behind a trail of bait.

Let's look separately at what the base and filler may consist of.

The basis

Take as a basis:

baked goods, crackers, cookies (crushed);
ground, sunflower cake;
corn flour;
instant porridge;
fish or bird food;
powdered milk;
crushed buckwheat flakes, corn, semolina.

Whatever base you choose for bait, be guided by three criteria:

Bait. The ingredients must lure fish with their strong aroma and composition.
Destruction. The base should be moderately crumbly so that it gradually disintegrates in water.
Stickiness. The mixture must have adhesive properties.

Bait depending on the time of year

Below you can get acquainted with the features of the bait mixture depending on what time of year you fish with feeder gear in a reservoir.

Spring

In the spring months, fish prefer to eat animal food. At this time of year it is important to add a large number of worms, maggots and bloodworms to the porridge. The feed should be well dusted, so finely dispersed fraction components are added to complementary foods.

Groundbait with maggots and bloodworms is what you need in spring

Feeder bait for cold water:

Fishing in summer

When going fishing in the summer months, it is worth taking with you bait that contains components of a large fraction. Vegetable ingredients must be added to the porridge.

Autumn

In autumn, the amount of bait is reduced, and its nutritional value is increased by adding animal components to the composition. The amount of flavorings is kept to a minimum.

Main ingredients of complementary food for winter fishing

A multi-component mixture is the main condition for successful fishing. Each of its components individually plays its role, and together they successfully attract fish.

Cake

Used in most recipes for the best bait, both store-bought and homemade. Its peculiarity is its pronounced sunflower aroma, which has a truly magical effect on any carp fish. If it is not possible to purchase cake, it can easily be replaced with fried seeds, twisted twice in a meat grinder.

Crushed or breadcrumbs

This component attracts fish, but has low nutritional value, so it does not satiate. To give the breadcrumbs a brighter flavor, you can fry them in vegetable oil before mixing.

Buy winter crackers for bait

Cereals

This is a key saturating component of mixtures. They are used both boiled and raw. In the second case, they can be fried in sunflower oil, but make sure that the grains do not burn, otherwise they will lose their attractiveness for fish. After frying, it is advisable to grind the cereal in a blender or coffee grinder.

However, be careful - due to their nutritional value, boiled cereals saturate the fish quickly, so do not overuse cereals when making a bait mixture. Also, porridge produces cloudiness in cold water, which is undesirable, so the cereal can be boiled until half cooked; it attracts fish in the same way, but produces much less cloudiness.

Cookies or gingerbread

Do you want a rich catch? Pamper your future prey with cookies or gingerbread, crushed into crumbs as part of the bait or separately. In addition to providing a tempting aroma for fish, confectionery increases the viscosity of the mixture and gives it a pleasant aroma and taste.

Animal Component

In icy water, even peaceful fish are interested in animal food. Therefore, the bait should be supplemented with appropriate additives:

Sliced worm;
Maggot;
Bloodworm;
Mormysh – live, dry or boiled;
Sliced shrimp

Shrimps and jigs are preferable because they have a lot of weight, and therefore they are carried very hard by the current, so they can remain on the bottom even in conditions of flowing water and ensure the attraction and retention of fish.

Salt

Even if you have prepared the most delicious bait, there will be little point in it if it freezes in the cold. In order to avoid this option, you should add salt to the bait. Moderate addition of salt does not spoil the bait at all, but, on the contrary, awakens the fish’s appetite. But remember that you should not use more than one tablespoon per kilo of bait.

Using store-bought baits, the angler does not have to worry about this, since absolutely all store-bought mixtures have all the necessary qualities, depending on the type of mixture and the type of fish.

Features of bait for different types of fish

When preparing the bait mixture, it is important to take into account the type of fish for which you will be fishing.

Fishing for bream

The attention of the representative of the carp family is attracted by baits that contain peas. In the process of preparing a catchable mixture for catching bream, it is recommended to add not only pea puree, but also whole boiled grains. You can add a small amount of crushed shortbread and flour into the complementary foods.

Groundbait on peas

What does crucian carp like?

You can attract the attention of crucian carp and arouse the appetite with sweetish bait, which contains crushed gingerbread and shortbread, as well as canned corn with syrup. It is also recommended to include a small amount of fishmeal, crushed maggots and rye bran.

Molas is a sweet and viscous component for feeder bait, crucian carp really like it

What to offer tench

Bait that will attract the attention of fish such as tench should consist of animal components, herbal additives and flavorings. You can add a small amount of boiled potatoes, steamed peas, fried rolled oats and chopped corn to the feed.

Bait for roach

The best mixture to attract the attention of roaches are considered to be those containing fine-grained breadcrumbs and grain bran. It is also worth adding a small amount of chopped nuts, sugar, and crushed biscuit to the porridge.

Carp bait

When fishing a pond in the hope of catching a carp on a hook, you should use bait mixtures that contain: corn, wheat, peas, macadamia, fish/bone meal. You can also add crushed maggots, worms and bloodworms, breading and a small amount of milk powder to complementary foods.

Bait mixture depending on the characteristics of the reservoir

Below you can find tips regarding the use of bait mixtures depending on the characteristics of the reservoir.

For the current

If you plan to fish in a body of water with a strong current, you should make a fairly viscous bait mixture. It is advisable to add a little clay/earth to the feed. The bait should have time to sink to the bottom and only then be washed away by the current. The casting is carried out upstream. Experienced fishermen advise making long narrow feeding paths.

When fishing on a river with medium and strong currents, you should hammer the bait tightly and make it more viscous

For standing water

When fishing stagnant bodies of water, you should avoid using too viscous porridges. This mixture will not be quickly washed out of the feeder. It is better to give preference to a crumbly bait mixture.

When hitting the surface of the water, the bait balls should disintegrate. When casting, it is necessary to capture a large area of the reservoir.

Feeding mixtures for different types of reservoirs

When choosing a bait composition, you should pay attention to the transparency of the water in the river. If you plan to fish reservoirs with clear water, you can use light-colored bait. In rivers with dark water, it is better to give preference to dark-colored food.

If the depth of the reservoir is significant, it is worth adding a small amount of fishing molasses to the bait composition so that the mixture does not have time to wash out before the feeder reaches the bottom.

Selection of store baits

Let's go over the quality criteria for feeder baits. The better the area is fed, the longer the flock will stay there.

Feeder bait is aimed at the formation of a “food spot” consisting of differently dispersed particles. It must contain sufficiently voluminous particles (corn, pearl barley, peas) so that a school of bream does not move away and feed quickly. All components of the bait must be thoroughly mixed. It should disintegrate at the bottom, creating a trail of small particles of food.

If there is no school in the area, then the mixture should have enough light volatile particles that can be transported over long distances and cause the bream to swim upstream. Bream loves appetizing smells, and the further downstream these aromas spread, the more suitable the bream will be to the fishing spot. The bait mixture should be washed out of the feeder within ten minutes. It is important to pay attention to the smell when purchasing.

The best flavors for bream are:

Coriander. It has a sharp, but at the same time pleasant smell. You need to grind directly at the fishing site.
Cumin, crushed in a mill, is liked by the bream.
Dill seeds powder. Add up to three teaspoons per kilogram of bait.
Liquid aromas with fruity scents (apricot, vanilla, banana, strawberry). They must first be diluted in water. Not recommended for use in wild lakes.

Bream may react to a combination of odors of cinnamon, anise, vanilla, caramel, cocoa, sunflower oil, and fruit syrups.

Bream, unlike carp, is not afraid of light-colored bait (Sensas 3000 Feeder bait)

The necessary ingredients in bait can be grouped by purpose:

The base is a nutritional component. Usually these are small ingredients: dry cereal, ground crackers, cookies, cake (crushed flax, rapeseed, hemp, pumpkin seeds). The base should attract the fish with its fine particles sprayed in the water. Depending on the strength of the river current, the grinding base is partially carried away by the current. It gives the fish a taste sensation without saturation. The basic composition makes up up to sixty percent of the total volume of bait.
The feed component is a filler. It, together with part of the first group of ingredients, is a nutritional base and keeps a school of bream in place. As an additive, boiled grains of cereals, peas, corn, and boiled cereals are taken. You can flavor all this with bait elements: chopped worms, maggots, as well as peeled sunflower seeds, chopped boiled pasta, and mixed feed. Thanks to the filler, the fish stays at the feeding site. This group of ingredients is especially important for large bream. It makes up about forty percent of the groundbait.
Binding ingredients are everything that can bind the first two groups together while they sink to the bottom. This can be wheat flour, crushed oatmeal, water, clay, sugar, dry ground peas.
Flavorings give the bait a pleasant smell for the fish. Bream loves honey, cocoa, coffee, crushed seeds, vanilla, essential oils, fruit syrups, and chocolate. They must be used carefully, as the strong smell can scare away fish, especially in cold weather.
Dyes give the bait color. Clay and crackers can also serve in this capacity.

Basics of feeding when fishing with a feeder

When fishing on a feeder, fishermen throw bait with a feeder into a pre-selected area of the reservoir. If the distance from the coastline is small, then feeding can be done using a slingshot/cobra. It is important to throw food as accurately as possible into a place that is promising for fishing. Plant/animal components should be added to the porridge.

The bait mixture is packed quite tightly into the feeder. After casting, you should wait 20-25 seconds and only then reel in the feeder. During this time, the composition will be washed out. For pre-feeding, 10-14 feeders are enough. Each cast takes only 1 minute.

Note! To attract the attention of large fish, you will need to add coarse ingredients to the porridge.

How to store bait before fishing, during and after returning home

If the bait mixture was prepared in advance and you need to save it until you go to the pond, you should place the mixture in a container covered with a lid and put it in the refrigerator. Thus, you can store the porridge for 2-3 days. For longer storage, you should pour the bait into a bag and put it in the freezer.

Note! At the reservoir, porridge is stored in a closed container so that it does not dry out.

When preparing bait mixture, it is important to use only fresh ingredients. Having correctly selected the composition of the feed, taking into account the characteristics of the reservoir, you can not be left without a catch even on the worst day. No tail, no scales!
