In winter, the activity of crucian carp has decreased sharply. Although many anglers have found the areas where crucian carp often move, they often have fish in the nest but do not eat hooks and frequently use air force because they do not know the principles of bait matching and use, or they are random or single-handed. It is really sad to lose the opportunity to capture crucian carp in winter when there is not much fish mouth. In response to this, I think it is necessary to communicate with anglers to discuss the principles of matching and use of baits.

The bait is divided into nest bait and fishing bait according to its function during use. It can be divided into vegetarian bait and meat bait according to whether it contains meat. It can be divided into commercial bait and natural bait according to whether it has processing. Different baits generally have different functions, just like when we cook, some of which are inconsistent with each other, and if they are not well matched, they will often lose their true nature and become inconsistent. Or if only one material is used, the taste may be authentic, but lack taste and cannot arouse appetite. Fish, like humans, focus on the taste of bait. Below I will briefly talk about the four basic principles of bait matching.

1. When fishing for large crucian carp in winter, the bait should follow the basic principle of “soft should be soft rather than hard, and the fragrance should be moderate”.

Although large crucian carp forage in winter, its body is stiff and it is difficult to swallow large amounts of food and float black. Therefore, when making commercial bait, it is necessary to ensure that the bait is suitable for the entrance, and it cannot be too sticky and hard, otherwise there will be a phenomenon that although there is a mouth, it will not be medium-sized and large crucian carp. Of course, when starting the bait, you should also pay attention to the taste and color of various baits so that they cannot resist. Don’t be too fragrant, nor can you not be fragrant. Too fragrant will cover up the fishy smell of other baits. After all, it should be mainly fishy smell in winter. If it is not fragrant, the bait is not penetrated enough in the water, so the fragrance must still be there. Generally, the fishy smell accounts for 70% and the fragrance accounts for 30%. It is best to use the same manufacturer when opening the bait, to ensure that the fishy one is the main and the fragrance is the auxiliary. You can use warm water to open the bait. This way, the bait is awake for a short time and the softness and dispersion of the bait can be ensured.

2. When fishing for large crucian carp in winter, the bait must also follow the principle of “small rather than large, atomization and fish luring”

When fishing for large crucian carp in winter, you should also be careful not to make the bait ball too large when opening the bait ball. The bait ball pulled out will be too large, which will cause the crucian carp with a very small bite to not enter the mouth, the float will move, and the lifting of the rod will not hit the fish. Generally, when bait is used, 50% basic bait, 30% main bait, 20% state bait and appropriate amount of additives are often added. Status bait and additives are also very important here. Not only should the bait be kept in a small state, but it also requires good atomization and long-lasting fish lure. Snowflake pollen can reduce the specific gravity of the bait and enhance the atomization. Wire brushed powder can maintain the soft viscosity of the bait. Wine rice can sustainably attract fish. Therefore, the three must complement the main basic bait to play the best role.

3. When fishing for big crucian carp in winter, the bait must also follow the principle of “live rather than die, only when you move will you see the spirit.”

In extreme weather in winter, live bait is much more effective than dead bait. Fresh red worms or earthworms constantly twist in the water. The strong fishy smell can induce large crucian carp to come and swallow it. The float moves and the bait enters the fish’s mouth. As long as it moves, fishing will work. On the contrary, non-dynamic commercial bait, dead red worm or dead earthworm, does not move in the water, although it has a fishy smell, but does not have dynamic activity, so the fishing effect is a bit worse. To make the commodity bait move, you can use funny fishing to attract the attention of the fish.

4. When fishing for large crucian carp in winter, the bait must also follow the principle of “meat is not suitable for vegetarian food, and large crucian carp eat more fishy food”

In winter, fish need to supplement high-protein and high-fat fishy baits for winter and cold. Therefore, some fishy baits such as shrimp powder, earthworm mud, and red worms should be added to the opened baits, or directly use red worms to make pure red worm baits to quickly achieve the opening of large crucian carp.

Let me share this with you about bait matching for fishing for big crucian carp in winter. I wish you a reasonable combination of bait and get back to fishing for big crucian carp.
