Baits are the most essential for fishing, mainly including natural baits and commercial baits. Among them, natural baits include earthworms, red worms, corn, wheat grains, etc., while commercial baits include hundreds of thousands of species, such as blue crucian carp, crazy fishing crucian carp, snail carp, large plate crucian carp, etc. Let's take a look at the complete list and introduction of fishing baits!
1、 Natural bait
Natural bait is one of the two types of fishing bait. It refers to the bait that can be used for fishing without processing or simple rough processing. In fact, before Taiwan fishing was introduced to the mainland, almost all fishermen used natural bait. The advantage of this kind of bait is that it has good fishing effect and is almost readily available.
1. Earthworm: Earthworm is a common natural bait, and also a "universal bait" favored by anglers. Whether it is omnivorous fish such as crucian carp, carp, tilapia or carnivorous fish such as catfish, yellow catfish, herring, etc., it can be used for fishing.
2. Red insect: Red insect is a common natural bait. The so-called red insect is actually the larva of chironomides. The best effect of using red insect is crucian carp. Especially in winter, when using red insect to catch crucian carp, there is almost no food to match, followed by carp, tilapia, white fish, yellow catfish, etc.
3. Corn: corn is a common natural bait, mainly fermented corn and tender corn. It is most suitable for the season with high temperature in summer and autumn. The target fish are mainly carp, grass carp and other large fish. When fishing with corn, as long as the bite hook is basically large fish.
4. Wheat grain: Wheat grain is a common natural bait, mainly including fermented wheat grain and wine soaked wheat grain. It is most suitable for the season with high temperature in summer and autumn. The target fish are mainly carp, carp and other omnivorous fish. For example, "grain and wheat fishing" is particularly popular in southwest China.
5. Sweet potato: sweet potato is a common natural bait. The target fish are mainly carp, grass carp and other large fish. For example, when catching grass carp, the raw sweet potato can be directly used as a hook. When catching carp, the sweet potato can be cooked or roasted and used with flour, bran, etc.
6. Maggots: maggots are commonly used as natural bait. The target fish are mainly small fish, such as crucian carp, white bar, wheat ear fish, tilapia, etc., and can also catch such carnivorous fish as yellow catfish, catfish, etc., but the effect of catching large fish with maggots may not be as good as that of earthworms and red worms.
7. Snails: Snails are commonly used as natural bait, especially when fishing for herring. In fact, herring is also named "Snails Green" because it likes to eat snails. When fishing, you can smash the snails and hook them with meat, or you can directly hang the whole snails for fishing.
