Technoplankton, how to catch and catch

The principle of fishing with technoplankton is quite simple.

Once the technoplankton is in the water, it will begin to dissolve and spread the aroma around itself, which will attract fish.
Technoplankton dissolves in water from 1 to 3 hours, it all depends on the strength of the current. A silver carp that swims up to a cloud will begin to indiscriminately swallow supposedly living plankton, and with it the hooks that dangle freely in the water column, namely in the cloud itself.

It is important to note that immediately after casting it is important to be constantly on alert, since a bite can occur at any moment. After a silver carp encounters the sting of a hook, it can behave in different ways: jerk sharply to the side, jump out of the water, swim towards the shore, etc. It is best to pull silver carp out of the water using a hook or hook.

Using technoplankton is extremely simple. The briquette has a hole for equipment. A number of hooks are attached to it, which should be suspended in parallel. As soon as the inhabitants of the reservoir swim up to the cloud of food, they begin to eat the food, do not notice the hooks and swallow them.

The versatility of technoplankton lies in the fact that:

it is suitable for catching fish on the bottom;
it is considered effective when fishing on the surface with a float.

If you have to fish on the bottom, it is better to use instant options. They disintegrate in about half an hour. If there is a suspicion that the bite will not last for a long time, it is advisable to use the so-called long-playing types. It takes several hours for them to dissolve. These types of plankton are also suitable for float gear. Use this type of equipment from mid-spring to mid-autumn.

This recipe is well suited for fish from the carp family. It includes:

corn flour - 100 g;
soy flour or complementary food for carp - 100 g;
bran - 10 g;
dextrin - 30 g;
honey - 16 g;
water - 16 g;
jar of anise oil.

Tackle

The equipment of a “donka” and a regular fishing rod is almost identical, but a float fishing rod is characterized by the presence of a float.

Particular attention should be paid to the choice of fishing rod, since bites from large individuals weighing 20-30 kg are possible. This is a powerful rod from 2.7 to 3.5 m, depending on fishing conditions.
Depending on the power of the rod, a reel is selected, the size of which should be in the range of 4000-4500. Moreover, with the obligatory condition of the presence of a clutch and a baitrunner. The reel should hold at least 100-150 m of fishing line with a diameter of 0.3 mm.
A sinker weighing from 30 to 100 g is installed on the main line (depending on the strength of the current, fishing depth and casting distance). The fastening can be either rigid or sliding.
Depending on the size of the individuals, the size of the hook is selected. These can be hooks No. 6, No. 8.
You can make the float yourself from polystyrene foam by installing an anti-twist tube.

Silver carp is a large and powerful fish weighing up to 30 kg. To fight a giant, you need to use a strong fishing rod (test 100 grams and above) and a power carp reel.

The length of the rod plays a significant role. If you need to cast long distances, it is better to use a feeder of 3.6 m or more. The larger the lever, the further the cast will be.

Required coil parameters:

Inertialessness.
Sensitive clutch.
Bayrunner.
Spool size 3500-5000.
Reel gear ratio is 1:4.6 and lower.

Line type:

monofilament from 0.3-0.45 mm;
braided line from 0.2-0.4 mm.

Hooks should be strong with a medium-length shank. Carp type options are perfect. Traditionally this is No. 6, 7, 8.

Sliding weights are selected taking into account the topography of the bottom of the reservoir, current and depth. Usually weight is 30 grams and above. The weight serves to fix the float in the near radius.

The floats weigh about 30 grams with low windage. For long casting it is better to choose a cone type. The material is PVC or foam.

A large landing net is a necessary attribute for catching silver carp of any size. It is ideal to have a partner on hand to help you deal with a strong opponent.

After casting, the fishing rod is placed on stands. It is not recommended to hold the rod in your hands; there is a risk of scaring away wary fish.

Equipment based on technoplankton using three hooks

Donka or float fishing rod are equipped approximately the same. Float tackle differs from bottom tackle only in the assembly of the equipment and the presence of a float.

A rod for catching silver carp must be powerful and durable, especially if there is a possibility of biting a trophy fish weighing 20-30 kg. The length of the rod depends on the fishing conditions, usually 2.7-3.5 m.
The reel is used to match the “stick”, size 4000-4500, with a friction clutch and a baitrunner. The spool should hold 100-150 m of 0.3 mm fishing line.
A sliding or stationary sinker is mounted on the main line or directly to the equipment. Its weight ranges from 30 to 100 g and depends on the depth at the fishing point and casting distance.
The hook is selected for the intended prey, it can be No. 6-8.
The float is made of polystyrene foam and an anti-twist feeder tube.

Influence of fishing conditions

To prepare technoplankton recipes with your own hands, you don’t need anything complicated, but it doesn’t hurt to take a number of points into account. First of all, these are fishing conditions. If you are going to fish on the bottom, you will need substances that dissolve gradually and leave a significant cloudy trace behind.

If we are talking about fishing on the bottom, you definitely need to add ingredients that tend to “dust”. These should be components that can float, for example, bran, a wine cork, ground to small particles.

A large amount of aquatic vegetation is one of the conditions for the presence of silver carp in a given place.

How to choose a place

the bottom of the reservoir should be sandy, clayey or rocky;
the main depth is from 2 to 2.5 meters.

The most favorable weather conditions for catching this fish are a headwind (or calm), high water temperature, warm sunny weather, and the time of day is from dawn to noon; at night, it is unlikely that you will be able to catch silver carp.

One of the most effective baits for catching silver carp is technoplankton.

Characteristics of the reservoir, fish habits

How to catch silver carp depends not only on the choice of gear, but also on the habitat and size of the reservoir.

Suitable aquatic environments:

small ponds with soft vegetation and muddy bottoms;
large bodies of water with a sandy or rocky bottom, where the current is calm.

At night, the fish come out closer to the shore, where the water is shallower and warmer. During the day it moves long distances to the upper horizon.

Related conditions for catching silver carp using technoplankton:

The most optimal depth for searching for fish is 3-4 meters from the surface.
Places with edges and sudden changes in depth.
Headwind.

Fishing season, weather conditions

The bite in most regions of Russia begins from the end of May to the beginning of September. At this time, the water warms up to a comfortable temperature for the silver carp.

During calm periods, sudden pressure surges, cloudiness and temperature changes, the fish becomes much more passive. The chances of catching during the day in these conditions are close to zero.

The optimal time for fishing is night-early morning. This is a period of long meals.

Each specimen weighing over 3 kg gives a noticeable rebuff to the fisherman. When fishing, it is necessary to correctly adjust the reel clutch. Don’t forget to turn on the baitrunner after each cast, otherwise the fish may knock the rod off the stand and drag it away. When approaching the shore, you cannot force the dynamics. At the last stages, it is better to give the silver carp a “gulp of air” to reduce its assertiveness and agility.

Less vegetation and the absence of snags near the shore will prevent silver carp from tangling and breaking gear.

Today, having technoplankton available and knowing the installation features, catching silver carp comes down to choosing the right fishing spot. Having found a body of water and the depth where the “silver carp” is hiding, you can prepare your gear for hunting. When choosing between the factory version and, in fact, the prepared composition of technoplankton, you need to be guided by common sense. The purchased mixture has a unique smell and attractiveness to fish, but a high price.

The physical basis of such a bait is a combination of various components that have certain proportions. Technoplankton is made in the form of a barrel, which, when dropped into water, behaves in a very unique way.

Technoplankton is designed to catch those fish that absorb food while eating. The composition of any technoplankton recipe always contains components that allow the fish to feed in this particular way. These fish include silver carp, as well as other types of fish, such as carp, carp, track, bream and even perch.

As mentioned above, this type of bait was created specifically for catching silver carp. After some time, it became clear that other fish could be caught with it. In this regard, barrels with ingredients designed for catching carp, carp, etc. began to be developed. In other words, this is the same technoplankton, but designed for different fishing conditions.

The main device is considered to be a press, without which it is impossible to obtain a barrel of classic technoplankton. Making it is not at all difficult if you follow these steps:

Prepare a small piece of metal pipe with holes located at equal distances from one another.
A screw should be inserted into the holes so that they can serve as a device for fixing the press.
All screws must be equipped with nuts.
The container with the aroma insert is placed in this pipe.
After this, you can begin filling the structure with a homemade composition of technoplankton.

Preparing the mixture in a mixer

The composition of flea technoplankton for the press must be known if you intend to make the mixture yourself. It should contain components that could make the contents of the briquette more attractive to fish. If everything was done correctly, the components will have different buoyancy and specific gravity. Due to this, the cloud of nutrients when the food bolus dissolves forms several levels.

We invite you to read: Carp and carp differences

Industrial types may vary in composition, depending on the manufacturer. If you plan to make it yourself using a press for technoplankton, then it is advisable to use the following components:

Fillers. It can be corn, oatmeal, peas, buckwheat, millet, dry cookies. All this must be ground to flour.
Adhesives. Necessary in order to prevent the food bolus from quickly dissolving. Maltodextrin, dextrin, dry cream and milk, powdered sugar are included in this category. It is advisable to use a combination of these components rather than using them separately.
Flavors. Suitable for use in any form. It is necessary to use such a quantity that the kneading would be stable. Pisces like sweet aromas: strawberry, honey, raspberry, vanilla and caramel.
Dissolution retardant. Rice flour and starch perform this role excellently.
Humidifier. Its role is usually played by water.
Bubbling component. Provides the so-called geyser effect. Due to this, the ingredients dissolve when entering the water. This can be baking soda, effervescent tablets, dry kvass starter. The ratio in which this component of the recipe should be taken is 1/6.

All components of this recipe are mixed in a mixer and then put under pressure. A universal recipe for any type of fish includes:

ready-made fruit jelly - 250 g;
honey - 50 g;
oat flour - 100 g;
rye, corn, pea flour - 100 g each;
bran - 100 g;
breadcrumbs, rice flakes - 100 g each;
crushed sunflower seeds - 200 g;
effervescent mixture - 175 g.

To prepare bait for bottom fishing, you need:

dog food - 0.5 kg;
roasted ground peanuts - 100 g;
dried sweet peppers - 50 g;
powdered sugar - 1 cup.

A similar recipe can be used for float fishing, but it will require more dry ingredients.

Components of technoplankton

Barrels containing various ingredients are available. Therefore, it is possible to choose bait to suit your fishing conditions. Despite this, many manufacturers do not disclose some production secrets. In this regard, our fishermen have to experiment.

If the barrels are poorly pressed when preparing bait, then you need to add a little water to them. The amount of water is calculated based on the cost of preparing 1 barrel: about half a gram is needed. The result of such production should be a barrel characterized by a certain density and hardness.

To reduce the rate of decomposition of the bait in water, starch or rice flour should be added to the composition. At the same time, you need to be careful, since their overdose leads to the opposite effect: the keg will dissolve much faster.

Filler

This ingredient plays a major role in making quality kegs. Basically, oat, corn, buckwheat, pea or wheat flour is chosen for this purpose. If possible, you can add crackers to the main composition, grinding them to flour.

Preparation of technoplankton does not require careful adherence to proportions. The most important thing is the careful processing of each ingredient, although the fish may ignore any flavor. For example, many fishermen recommend frying crackers or cookies in a frying pan for a brighter aroma. In addition, oatmeal can create exactly the feed cloud that is needed.

Adhesive base

The adhesive base is necessary for the barrel to have a certain strength. Despite this, it should not impede the process of decomposition of the bait into small particles.

At home you can use:

Maltodextrin.
Dextrin.
Powdered sugar.
Powdered milk.
Dry cream.

The presence of the adhesive base should be no more than 10% of the presence of all ingredients.

Whether or not to use flavorings depends on who is fishing. This ingredient, in this case, is optional. These substances are available both in the form of dry powders and in the form of liquids. As a rule, they are characterized by a very strong aroma that will not leave anyone indifferent. Mostly sweet aromas are used, such as vanilla, spice, honey, strawberry or raspberry.

Snaps

Universal rig
The design of the rig used for catching silver carp on technoplankton is shown above. Such equipment is mounted on both bottom and float tackle, with minor modifications.

The metal “trempel” is the basis of the equipment on which all elements are attached like a skeleton: technoplankton; leashes with hooks on which foam is mounted. The entire structure is attached to the main line.

If you look at the schematic images below, you will see that the differences between them are minimal: the bottom version is equipped with an additional sinker, and the float version is equipped with the float itself and a sliding weight on the main line. Ready-made kits can be found in fishing stores or made yourself.

Selection of equipment

To catch silver carp, the equipment includes a special stick or “trempel”. This equipment, which has the shape of a triangle and is made of wire, has a pin in its design on which the technoplankton is located. On both sides of the “silver carp stick” there are leashes with hooks. The main fishing line is also attached to the same structure.

Bottom equipment

With the bottom fishing method, the structure is assembled somewhat differently. A “silver carp stick” is attached to the main fishing line behind the central eye. Leashes with hooks are mounted to the remaining ears; foam plastic is used as bait. Technoplankton is installed on the trempel pin and fixed with a special rubber tube. The design allows you to attach a third leash.

In this case, the equipment is formed as follows. An anti-twist tube is placed on the main line, and a sinker is attached to the end of the line in a rigid manner. A float is installed in the upper part of the tube. A “trempel” with a leash is mounted to the place where the tube is attached. The “silver carp stick” has the same fastening as in the case of bottom tackle. The only difference is the absence of foam balls on the hooks. In this rig, the hooks should be 5-15 cm below the technoplankton barrel, which is ensured by the length of the leads.

The specificity of purchased plankton for fishing is that, when immersed in water, it begins to slowly dissolve. In close proximity to the bait there are leashes with hooks. The silver carp sees a cloud of turbidity and begins to swallow the smallest food along with everything that is in the dusty fog.

The choice of installation type depends on whether the fish are in the upper or lower layers.

There are two types of silver carp:

Feeding in the water column (reaches an average weight of up to 6 kg).
Bottom feeder (weight 6 kg and above).

In spring and autumn, fish go to the lower horizons and feed exclusively at the bottom. In large and deep bodies of water, when it gets cold, silver carp may also move to the lower layers. The emergence closer to the surface occurs in the summer, when the environment warms up.

Thus, there are two types of equipment:

bottom tackle for catching silver carp;
classic float equipment.

The choice of equipment depends on the time of year and water temperature. The depth of the reservoir, fish activity and weather conditions are also important criteria for preparing for fishing.

To assemble the equipment, a special device called a silver carp stick or “trempel” is required. This triangular structure made of metal wire or rigid plastic has a pin onto which pressed technoplankton is placed. Leashes and the main fishing line are mounted to the ears of the silver carp stick.

Bottom equipment

This is what a feeding weight for technoplankton looks like

A silver carp stick is mounted to the main fishing line of the tackle behind the central eye. Leashes with hooks are attached to the other two ears, on which foam plastic is baited. The technoplankton is mounted on the trempel pin and the barrel is secured with a rubber tube stopper. If necessary, you can attach a third leash here.

Fishing for silver carp using technoplankton opens up a new, unexplored direction of fishing for anglers. Now, starting from the principle of operation of the magic barrel, you can experiment with homemade compositions. In addition, in the near future, changes will also affect equipment. In the meantime, you can enjoy the fight with silver carp, study its habits, feeding style and biting characteristics.

Mixture composition

The advantages of making technoplankton at home are:

significant cost savings;
the ability to independently come up with unique recipes.

According to the observations of experienced fishermen, some types of fish are much more willing to bite on homemade bait.

Each fisherman has his own special recipe, which he considers most effective. But there are compositions that are recognized as the most popular.

Recipe 1:

Corn flour - 200 g. An alternative can be popcorn ground in a coffee grinder.
Wheat flour - 200 g.
Oatmeal - 300 g.
Semolina - 200 g.
150 g of soda a little citric acid.

All ingredients of the recipe are mixed and moistened with a small amount of water. You need to add enough liquid to form a plastic dough. It is moved into a press and briquettes are made. You can also bake the mixture in the microwave. The effervescent mixture can be mixed into the mass just before pressing.

Recipe 2:

semolina - 0.5 kg;
corn flour - 0.5 kg;
breadcrumbs - 300 g;
hominy - 300 g;
sugar - 300 g.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with: Crucian carp killer tackle: installation and how to make the equipment yourself

The mixture is stirred until smooth, after which it is gradually diluted with honey solution.

Recipe 3:

a can of condensed milk;
cake powder;
dry milk mixture.

Condensed milk is poured into any suitable container and dry ingredients are gradually added. As soon as the mixture reaches the consistency of sour cream, transfer it to the freezer for half an hour. It is important that equal amounts of cake mix and milk powder are added. After 30 minutes, take out the finished dough and knead it, adding dry ingredients again in equal quantities.

Advantages and disadvantages of technoplankton

The advantages include:

The presence of an aroma that attracts fish.
In addition to silver carp, you can catch other types of fish with it.
Only such compositions provide a large cloud of small food in the water column.

Disadvantages of bait:

Factory-made barrels are expensive.
Very often there are fakes that do not meet the stated characteristics.

Such disadvantages can be reduced to zero if you make technoplankton yourself at home.

DIY technoplankton

Making technoplankton
To make technoplankton, you need molds, although there is a recipe for making it without them. There are a huge number of recipes for the mixture from which technoplankton is made, but the main role in any of them will be played by the smell and ability of the mixture to generate dust.

Since the material is designed for an untrained fisherman, we will use the simplest options for preparing technoplankton with our own hands

Without abs

To form the mixture you will need a plastic device similar to a mold, but if you get the hang of it, you can do everything by hand. Here, strong pressure is not required - the whole secret is in the syrup, which is added to the mixture, and which sticks it together after drying.

The mixture can be charged into the feeder in a moistened form, and the dried balls are put on the trempel through the hole like ordinary technoplankton. Drying takes a week or more, so technoplankton should be prepared in advance.

Technoplankton can be dried in the microwave

As you understand, it is not necessary to use a ready-made mixture from the store. You can make it yourself from simple and affordable ingredients - pea flour, breadcrumbs and milk powder mixed in equal parts.

Here, a press is used to mold technoplankton, but if we mix the mixture with the syrup from the previous recipe, then we won’t need it.

Technoplankton in the store or with your own hands{q}

No matter how simple it may be to prepare bait at home, it is better to follow some unwritten rules. For example:

When producing technoplankton, it is always necessary to use compounds that are capable of creating turbidity in the water column during contact with it. The presence of small particles that are separated from the pressed barrel and float or are distributed over separate horizons and are designed to attract fish. Being in suspension, the muddy cloud resembles plankton - the food supply of silver carp.
The bait must contain both light and heavy elements so that they can be properly distributed in the water column.
You should not use more than five ingredients. In this case, you should be guided by the fact that quality should come first, but not quantity.

As many fishermen point out, making technoplankton yourself is not at all difficult, but it is better to first purchase a simple device that will help speed up the process of preparing the mixture.

Powdered milk or its analogues must be included in the main composition. Such ingredients quite easily leave behind a cloudy residue. If you plan to fish from the bottom, then starch will not hurt. Oat bran will do instead. As practice shows, this is a pretty good option. As a rule, the bran, after being separated from the barrel, begins to float, which will certainly interest the silver carp.

The first lures simulating plankton fishing were invented in England a decade ago. After general recognition, there was a transition to an industrial scale of production.

Today, food technoplankton for silver carp is a tablet pressed into a cylinder. Fastening occurs on the main axis of the trempel. Manufacturers make a composition of small substances similar to phytoplankton from the diet of fish.

Features of catching silver carp

There are no special secrets in catching silver carp; the main thing is well-functioning gear and the right place. If you are fishing with technoplankton, you need to know the approximate rate of its dissolution in order to replace it in time.

In many cases, bottom gear is used to catch silver carp, but as we said above, if the fish sticks to the upper layers of water, a float version of the equipment may be more effective. Since float tackle is more universal, it is most often used.

Bait and groundbait

Technoplankton is characterized by its effectiveness in catching silver carp, which is associated with the characteristics of its diet. Unfortunately, such bait can only be purchased in a store, which costs some money.

The powder consists of various components that stimulate the silver carp's appetite. This is due to the addition of flavor enhancers and flavorings. On sale you can find technoplankton with different aromas:

original;
bloodworm;
strawberries;
honey;
anise;
blood;
vanilla;
raspberries, etc.

So far no one has been able to come up with an alternative to technoplankton, although searches among fishermen are ongoing. If some fishermen have something to contrast with their daring, it will only be somewhere and in individual bodies of water. The action of technoplankton is based on its constant dissolution in the water column and the formation of a feeding spot in this place from very small particles of food. This creates conditions for attracting silver carp, since it feeds mainly on such small particles. Although silver carp does not refuse aquatic vegetation, clearing water bodies of it.

Technoplankton is still the favorite in silver carp fishing. You have to buy bait in stores, but the pleasure you get from fishing is worth the money spent. The powder contains various flavoring and appetite-inducing substances. All this is complemented by flavorings. There are many varieties of baits available, allowing you to choose the optimal scent. These are scents such as:

original;
bloodworm;
honey;
strawberries;
blood;
anise;
raspberries;
vanilla, etc.

However, some fishermen are trying to counter the monopoly of technoplankton with their own recipes. So far, they are only suitable in some specific and well-studied reservoirs. The main magical property of technoplankton barrels is the slow soaking of the bait in the water. The result is an attractive and flavorful food stain. Thus, a barrel of technoplankton becomes both bait and groundbait.

How to increase your fish catch{q} «>

Over 7 years of active fishing, I have found dozens of ways to improve the bite. Here are the most effective ones:

Bite activator. This pheromone additive attracts fish most strongly in cold and warm water. Discussion of the bite activator “Hungry Fish”.
Increased gear sensitivity. Read the appropriate manuals for your specific type of gear.
Pheromone-based lures.

Press for the production of technoplankton

Such equipment is a must for those who plan to prepare technoplankton at home on their own. There are several types of it:

mechanical screw press;
high pressure hydraulic press.

An alternative may be methods for obtaining technoplankton, such as microwave pressing and squeezing with a jack.

A simple modification for cold pressing includes the following components:

Cup. Intended for pressing out. You will need a metal tube 10 cm long with a small diameter and a thread at one end so that you can screw on the plug.
Cork. Its role can be played by a screw-on plug for a water pipe.
Pin. Used for holes in gear. Holes are drilled in the plug cap and a strong and thin bayonet is fixed in it. It is required to make a hole in the finished barrel. The plug is screwed onto the main tube.
Seal. A metal cylinder of such a diameter is selected that it easily fits into the tube and is pressed tightly against it. The cylinder should have the same length as the tube. You can screw the same plug onto the internal piston.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with: Catfish shish kebab on the grill

Work algorithm:

a plug is screwed onto the main tube;
the tube is filled with a batch;
the piston is inserted;
The structure is clamped with a jack or a bench vise;
the piston is removed, after which the cap of the tube is unscrewed;
the resulting barrel of technoplankton is pushed out.

To do similar processes in a microwave oven, there are several options.

Take a plastic pipe of small diameter - approximately 30 mm. Cut a piece 7 cm long. Take two plugs and tightly close both ends of the tube. One end is closed with a stopper, and the mixture is pushed into the opposite end. The opposite end is closed with a stopper. After this, you can send the mixture to bake in the microwave. You don't have to use lids to cover the tubes and just leave the food ball to bake.

Take 2 disposable syringes with a volume of 20 ml. From the side of the needle nose, one syringe is cut to form a cylinder. On one side it is baked by a piston and filled with substance. On the other hand, it is clamped tightly with a piston from another syringe. Following this, you can insert a second piston. At the same time, you can take it out and put the cylinder in the microwave.

During cold pressing, the finished mixture is placed into equipment and hardened using pressure. At the same time, it turns into a barrel-tablet.

If a microwave oven is used for these purposes, then the energy of electromagnetic radiation is used. The substance is placed in a plastic tube with stoppers at both ends. When cold pressing, hold the mixture for no more than 30 seconds.

Press for the production of technoplankton

Each fisherman makes the composition in his own way, but there are several of the most popular mixtures, which we will focus on.

Recipe 1:

200 grams of corn flour (you can make it from popcorn ground in a coffee grinder);
200 grams of wheat flour;
300 grams of oatmeal flour;
200 grams of semolina flour;
150 grams of lemon soda.

All ingredients must be mixed and sprinkled with water. When the dough becomes plastic, it must be placed in a press and made into briquettes, or it can be baked in a microwave oven. The effervescent mixture must be mixed with the mass immediately before pressing.

Recipe 2:

0.5 kg of raw semolina;
0.5 kg corn flour;
300 grams of breadcrumbs;
300 grams of mamalyga;
300 grams of sugar.

Mix everything until smooth and dilute with honey solution, gradually.

Recipe 3:

1 can of condensed milk;
Powdered milk mixture;
Powder cake.

Pour a can of condensed milk into a bowl and gradually stir in the dry ingredients until the mixture reaches the consistency of sour cream. Milk and cake should be added in equal quantities. Place this in the freezer for half an hour. Then we take it out and knead it into a tight dough, again adding dry ingredients in equal quantities. Add the bulk part a little at a time; if you add a lot at once, the dough may thicken too quickly. Moisten slightly with water to make it sticky. At the end we pass it through a sieve and press it.

Recipe 4 for feeding on the bottom:

0.5 kg of dog food;
100 grams of roasted ground peanuts;
50 grams of dry sweet pepper;
1 cup powdered sugar.

If you want to use this recipe for float fishing, add more dry ingredients.

Recipe 5:

250 grams of ready-made fruit jelly;
1 tsp. honey;
Any combination of crushed cereal flakes, breadcrumbs and powdered milk.

Mix the cooled jelly with honey, and then gradually add the dry mixture into it until a moist (but not wet) mixture is formed. Place the compressed barrels on a napkin to dry completely.

Recipe 6:

350 g ground flour;
350 g raw sunflower seeds;
150 grams of wheat flour;
150 grams of rice flour;
1 cup corn flakes;
100 grams of milk powder.

First grind all components to a powder using a coffee grinder, and then mix.

Recipe 7:

250 grams of sunflower seeds;
150 grams of shortbread cookies with creamy taste;
125 grams of dry cream;
250 grams of cooked peas;
250 grams of fish bait;
250 grams of semolina;
125 grams of protein powder;
Flavoring.

Grind all ingredients and mix.

Recipe 8:

0.5 kg corn flour;
250 g rice flour;
250 g pea flour;
250 g buckwheat flour;
250 g milk baby food with rice;
250 grams of raw peanuts;
250 g raw sunflower seeds without peel;
Honey syrup.

Recipe 9:

1 tbsp. Sunflower seed;
150 grams of dry cookies with vanilla flavor;
250 grams of chopped popcorn;
250 grams of semolina;
250 grams of corn flour;
250 grams of milk powder;
125 grams of cucumber flour.

To make cucumber flour, you need to grate the cucumber, dry it and then grind it. The flour has a fairly strong aroma, which attracts silver carp well.

Recipe 10:

4 parts flour for hominy;
4 parts millet flour;
1 part rice flour;
1 part milk powder;
Vanilla flavored sugar syrup.

Mix everything, adding syrup periodically. The total syrup should be added to about 30% of the total mass. Then let the mixture rest for 60 minutes. And at the end, we pass through a coarse sieve, press and dry.

Sugar syrup: 1 part water 1 part sugar vanilla, boil everything for 20 minutes and cool. If you need to increase buoyancy, add crushed cork.

To prepare technoplankton at home, you need to get a press.

There are several types of presses for its manufacture:

Pressing with a manual screw press.
Squeezing with a jack.
Using a high pressure hydraulic press.

Additional Tips

When selecting bait, it is important to consider the time of year. It happens that fish prefer certain components in the summer, while in the spring months it remains indifferent to them. If, due to the heat, the pond has become heavily bloomed, then the fish will not be interested in bait. This is due to the fact that there is an abundance of food in the pond during this period. For this reason, it is better to change the reservoir to another where there is clean water.

Fishing with bottom tackle involves the use of foam balls. Thanks to them, it is possible to raise the hooks above the technoplankton. These products are not required for float fishing.

Sometimes it happens that the current carries a cloud of food away from the hooks. In this case, you can use a sliding weight on the fishing line located between the rod and the float. It should be light in weight. The tackle can get tangled when retrieving the catch, so you need to be careful. It is also advisable to regularly change hooks and replace them with new ones before each fishing trip.
