Which in most cases, undoubtedly, negatively affects the number of trophies they catch.

Rating of the best baits for fishing

The best bait for bream

Sensas 3000 Club Bremes

Rating: 4.9

Expensive, but very effective bait Sensas 3000 Club Bremes is a unique development for use throughout the fishing season. It perfectly transmits the aroma in warm and cold water, guaranteeing a quick approach to the feeding area of ​​medium and large bream. In addition to playing on the taste buds of the fish, this mixture works very well purely visually, ranging from an inconspicuous dark to a bright yellow hue.

The Club Bremes series has three different mixtures at its disposal, suitable for fishing in certain conditions:

1. dark brown Brune bait is very good when fishing in cold waters, at the very beginning of the spring or late autumn spinning fishing season;
2. yellow Classic performs well in the summer season, has a medium grind consistency and actively attracts the attention of the average bream;
3. The “mysterious” Noire mixture, which has a dark color, was created to attract exceptionally large bream, as it consists of particles of a large fraction.
4. Thus, Club Bremes is the most popular bait on domestic reservoirs, the only weak point of which is its high price.

Advantages

• the presence of three varieties of bait in the series;
• Possibility of use throughout the year-round fishing season;
• attractants that are most attractive to bream;
• optimal balance of nutritional components (proteins, fats and carbohydrates).

Flaws

• high price.

Traper "Bream"

Rating: 4.8

Despite the fact that this bait mixture from Traper is positioned as food for bream, it is also excellent for attracting other large fish. Based on additives that act remotely, this composition includes medium and large granules that keep fish in one place for a long time.

As consumers note, the main feature of the Traper “Bream” bait is the ability to regulate the consistency and density of the balls. However, this process requires the use of additional substances, such as light soil, clay and other binder-sedimentary elements. All this adds versatility to the mixture, but requires additional costs (including time) to purchase or find components.

Advantages

• about 10 fragrances within the line;
• acceptable cost level;
• optimal consistency for attracting medium and large fish (medium and large fractions of granules);
• the possibility of feeding other inhabitants of reservoirs.

Flaws

• To achieve the desired effect from bait, it is necessary to introduce additional (precipitating) elements.

SENSAS SUPER RIVIERE GARDONS

Nutritional value – 5

Since this bait mixture is intended for catching roach specifically, then, unlike other bait mixtures of the “super rivière” series, it obviously has a finer granulometric composition and a darker color. It consists of a mixture of numerous fried components (crackers, grains and powder products), which give the bait an exceptionally pleasant smell, especially when moistened. The bait is very easy to prepare: you get a homogeneous and well-thinned mixture even without sifting.

The best bait for roach

Sensas 3000 Explosive Gardon

Rating: 4.9

A universal bait for roach, containing fine granules, excellent for combining with various types of soil. It works great for long-term baiting, when the angler wants to prepare a special cool place for himself. It begins to work in full force 1-2 hours after immersion, gradually releasing aroma into the water over the next 24 hours. When used independently, it is perfectly trackable in deep and shallow water, since it has a light, noticeable color.

It is worth saying that at first the Sensas 3000 Explosive Gardon was received rather coldly, since the domestic fisherman was accustomed to relying on more affordable Russian baits. Today the situation has changed radically: despite the high cost, this mixture is extremely popular among professionals, used mainly in the summer season.

Advantages

• The optimum ratio of price and quality;
• persistent sweetish aroma, accompanied by a noticeable color;
• excellent bait for long-term retention of roach in one place;
• long operating time for odor release.

Flaws

• not detected.

The best bait for crucian carp

Traper Sekret “Tench/Crucian carp”

Rating: 4.9

Encouraging crucian carp with bait is a matter of extreme necessity, since in an abundant state it bites regularly. It’s another matter when sporting interest pulls the angler to fish for some extreme, trophy specimens: in such a situation, Traper Sekret bait cannot be avoided. Despite its inconspicuous color, it perfectly attracts fish to the feeding point, while demonstrating remarkable selective ability. This function indirectly depends on the size of the granules in the portioned ball - they all have large and medium sizes.

According to users, the already effective action of Traper Sekret can be improved by adding corn grains, pearl barley or chopped worms to the composition, against which not a single tench or crucian carp can resist. The only limitation is that widespread effectiveness is observed only when fishing in warm water, since, alas, the bait’s own aroma does not spread in cold streams.

Advantages

• packed in packs of 1 kilogram;
• high efficiency of flavorings in warm water;
• the ability to attract crucian carp, tench and other non-predatory inhabitants of reservoirs;
• selective effect on fish (creates interest mainly for large crucian carp).

Flaws

• poor aroma distribution in cold water.

The best bait for carp

MINENKO PMbaits CARP

Rating: 4.9

Quite predictably, a domestic representative of companies producing bait mixtures ascended to the first line of the rating. MINENKO managed to do exactly what famous manufacturers failed to do - create a bait that is wide in its range, but very balanced from one species to another. Thus, the PMbaits CARP series included food based on boilies, widely used granules and grains, as well as combinations of several types for specific fishing conditions. Their compositions are also different, but they contain strictly regulated sources of carbohydrates (all kinds of cereals), protein (small cuts of insects or worms), and fats (most often fish oil). As for packaging, there was some innovation here too. Along with the standard 1-kilogram package, 3-kilogram packs of mixtures, called BIG Packs, are now on sale.

If we think backwards, MINENKO PMbaits CARP is the most preferred bait at the moment. It significantly surpasses its opponents in moderation of key characteristics, cost, and variety.

Advantages

• low cost;
• a variety of aromatic additives and compositions (including protein-based);
• abundance of options for fractional separation of bait;
• Availability of packs of 1 and 3 kilograms;
• Excellent performance in hot and cold water.

Flaws

• not detected.

How to choose bait for carp fishing

Probably, for every fisherman, carp is a desired trophy due to its size. It is hunted by both experienced fishermen or fishermen involved in sport fishing, as well as beginners or amateurs in fishing. It is worth noting that catching a fish such as carp is not an easy task. After all, carp is one of the most intelligent, cautious and at the same time cunning underwater inhabitants.

In order to catch carp, you need to stock up not only with good quality tackle, but also have a certain skill, know everything about the habits, diet and taste preferences of this fish. Therefore, correctly selected bait for carp fishing increases success by almost 50% when catching this large fish.

It is worth noting that the taste preferences of fish such as carp may change from time to time. This, first of all, directly depends on various factors, for example, water and ambient temperature, time of year, and so on. In addition, the same bait for carp in one body of water can perform quite well, but in another body of water, the fish can simply ignore it. This is due to the fact that in each individual body of water, the taste preferences of fish can differ significantly from each other.

There are several types of baits that are actively used by the vast majority of fishermen to catch carp. According to their origin they are divided into:

• baits of plant origin;
• special type baits;
• various animal baits.

Baits of plant origin, in terms of their effectiveness, primarily include corn, bread, cottage cheese, well-boiled potatoes or barley, well known to every fisherman. Among the baits of animal origin, the most effective when fishing for carp are: dragonfly larvae, maggots, dung worms, and bark beetles. In addition, adult dragonflies, caddisfly larvae or maggot pupa are perfect as animal bait for catching carp.

A special type of bait that is often used when fishing for carp includes so-called boilies. It is worth noting that boilies are quite catchy baits, which in most cases are capable of surpassing baits of both animal and plant origin in their effectiveness.

The best bait for the feeder

Marcel Van Den Eynde Superfeed

Rating: 4.9

Feeder bait VDE Superfeed is a complex bait mixture suitable for quickly luring carp, bream, roach and other large fish from freshwater bodies to the casting point. Made on the basis of protein, it is coarsely ground and contains all the necessary nutrients for use without introducing impurities. However, combination with other compositions also brings good results: often they are even several times higher than the catch with basic bait.

Popular tests of the luring effect of VDE Superfeed show that the aromatic properties of the mixture can spread 100-200 meters from the casting point, that is, work over a large area. Often there is such a rush in the bait spot that the feeder bait is lost amid the flickering of large fish. However, its action lasts for a whole day, thanks to which fishermen have a real chance to catch a lot of trophies.

Advantages

• wide possibilities for mixing with branded products from Marcel Van Den Eynde;
• high activity (the first results are visible within 30 minutes after casting);
• wide range of bait operation;
• self-sufficiency;
• abundance of aromas.

Flaws

• high price.

Requirements for bait

You can buy a finished product. However, experienced fishermen prefer to make bait on the feeder with their own hands. A variety of products are used - millet, sunflower cake, boiled potatoes, green peas, corn, etc.

However, feeder bait must meet several requirements:

• consistency. The bait should not be too solid. When it gets into a body of water, it should disintegrate and become dusty, forming an aromatic trail that attracts fish;
• the composition should include small and large particles. They should create a tightly covered spot on the bottom;
• The bait should be washed out of the feeder within a certain time, not too quickly, but not too slowly. Ideally, washing should take 5-10 minutes.
