Flavors for fishing - practical advice

Every fisherman knows that flavorings help increase the bite, which results in real pleasure from fishing and a decent catch. But not everyone knows which flavoring agent to use in groundbait or bait for a particular fish. Crucian carp is no exception; he is also picky. We will tell you further what smells crucian carp like.

Flavors. What it is?

Flavorings for fishing are a large group of substances that can be divided into:

• for nozzle;
• for bait.

These substances are used as seasonings. They make the taste of baits and baits for crucian carp much more tempting. After all, this fish relies more on smell than on sight when looking for food.

Some experts argue that the sense of smell of fish, including crucian carp, is much more developed than that of mammals.

It's worth knowing that flavorings are not some kind of "magic pill." They just act as an attracting factor. They should be selected correctly.

If we compare flavorings with attractants, then the latter just simply interest the crucian carp. In this case, the fish does not necessarily have to bite, because attractants have absolutely no effect on appetite.

There is also a slight difference between flavoring agents and activators. Unlike a bite activator for crucian carp, flavorings attract fish until the very end of fishing.

Attractants for carp bait

Flavorings for carp, as well as for other types of cold-blooded inhabitants, depending on the form and purpose, can be divided into:

1. Products used for processing tackle, baits, hooks, boilies. These include:
   sprays are spray cans filled with an aromatic agent, including natural and artificial ingredients;
2. dips - products into which basic media are dipped - nozzles, boilies, plastic balls, etc., are often produced in liquid form, but there are gels and powders.
3. Substances added to bait:
   boosters - used to obtain the required consistency by moistening dry mixtures with the addition of specific aromas that interest carp;
4. oils and fats are natural flavorings of animal and plant origin.
5. Materials used at the stage of preparing pasta and boilies:
   attractants - aromatic agents with specific components (odor enhancers, taste sweeteners) that attract carp to the fishing site and provoke biting;
6. liquids for carp are any liquid aromatic additives, artificially synthesized and natural.

As already noted, this classification is conditional, and the names of flavors have a general meaning.

Often, fishermen use flavorings for carp, based on their experience or necessity. So, you can treat the bait with a spray, and treat the bait with an attractant or liquid. The main thing is to understand that there is no universal remedy that is effective always and everywhere.

What smells does crucian carp like?

The harmful and shy crucian carp has smells that it loves most:

• A bite activator is a bait with pheromones (smell) that fish really love. Nothing artificial, all natural ingredients.
• vanilla. The smells of vanilla are most attractive to small and medium-sized crucian carp. But don't be surprised

  
  if together with this fish you pull out a bream, which loves vanilla no less than its brother.

• Anise. It will be enough to add a few drops of anise oil to bread or semolina so that the crucian carp smells this smell. In winter, experts recommend either not using anise at all, or adding very little to the mixture.
• Garlic. Larger individuals most often react to garlic.
• Honey. Sometimes there are periods when crucian carp really want something sweet. Therefore, it is best to use natural honey. It can be mixed with semolina.

Smells for carp fishing

Carp love sweet, fruity, meaty and spicy aromas. It is easy to notice that boilies for carp fishing have the taste of plum, vanilla, strawberry, melon, raspberry, and chocolate. Sprays and boosters with the same scents are used when fishing for carp in still waters and in rivers with a current.

Basically, sweet aromatics are used in warm weather. But this is logical, since sweet liquids quickly dissolve in warm water, and a fragrant trail emanates from them. Sweet boosters are poured into ready-made mixtures and boilies.
