I assume you want to catch more big fish like most anglers. This big powerfully revealing article will give you a taste of just how much better you can make your baits produce fish because you really can make your homemade or readymade baits far more addictive – so do yourself a very big favour and read on right now because you do not know what you are missing!
OK so you use readymade carp or catfish baits and are happy enough – or are you?! It is always my belief that when fishing against established readymade baits that extremely well designed homemade baits can easily out-fish them – with intelligent fishing. This is something I and countless others have done repeatedly and this can be done by anyone as you will see!
The fact is that the readymade bait field-testers given new baits to try invariably get the very best result precisely because they are the very first to use this bait on a water. In making your own baits or adapting or manipulating readymade baits to make them different to the original versions makes them new baits – so gives you a tremendous edge over anglers still using the original versions that fish can easily get wary of very quickly after being hooked on them!
The best time to get the best results on readymade baits approximately 99 percent of the time is before the herd gets to use that readymade bait on a water. I mean if you were using baits over-flavoured with Chocolate Malt flavour like I was 25 years ago, or were using squid andronone and other extracts in your homemade baits years ago like me (made without any requirement for eggs,) then you will see that such latest creations from bait companies are far from new!
Another example is when I fished my converted Grange bait at Dream Lake 1 fishing against the son of Mainline bait boss Zenon Bojko who was using the bait called Active 8 before it was made available to the public. I will not say what I did to my version of the Mainline base mix I exploited here but I made it active in different ways and changed a few of the characteristics of the bait including the taste, aroma, flavour, shape, size, colour, texture and buoyancy and solubility of the bait – all to very great effect (the first fish came while setting up!)
In scanning so many fishing forums it is very obvious that the average angler knows about as much about bait design and how baits impact water and fish as they in all likelihood do about the physiological internal impacts of nicotine on the human brain and nervous system. You might think many more anglers would know details about this because so many anglers have been conditioned by direct and indirect subliminal messages in films, soaps, adverts, movies etc to smoke because it is supposed to be cool. But nicotine is the most addictive substance to humans – even beyond new generations of crack cocaine and the like.
You might also think that a gigantic proportion of the angling fraternity would have the vision to realise that the average angler is not actually giving fish bait in order to feed them, but to maximise numbers of bites achieved by making baits irresistible whenever fish sense their presence in their environment. It seems many bait-makers think that feeding fish is more important than catching them!
So many anglers think that fishing baits like boilies cannot be addictive – why is this?! Just how many anglers using fishing forums are neuroscientists with experience in fish not just humans?! Just because a fish does not jump into your landing net straight after you cast out simply means the fish are aiming not to be supper for a predator they have come to associate with familiar food items and no wonder bait is of any use if you fish ineffectively without the thought that carp truly deserve!
Did you know that the impacts on our bodies and minds of the pheromones from a summer walk through an average deciduous wood in the southern counties have ultimately the same internal effect on health and vitality as half the pharmaceutical drugs on the market? This is not me saying this; just one of the leading scientific minds taking part in the TED conference recently; remember that very many drugs originally are inspired by plant substances right (think of good old Aspirin for example!) Unfortunately people are getting gradually out of touch with science in general through not keeping up their education as science moves on so very fast. The area of genetic manipulation of foods such as wheat and soya should really be of interest to anglers as well as the increasing growing of plants for fuel – many of these are great in carp baits as very effective cheap energy sources in baits.
The fact is that 100 years ago we could sit at home and most of us would have understood how most of the things that surrounded us worked – and even how it was designed. The art of DIY repairs and modifications to home appliances etc thrived. Even I as a kid took apart record players and later cassette players to adjust them internally. But today with the rise and rise of so much more advanced technology a growing number of people do not have a clue how most of the things that surround them work. They do not value insights into how they were originally conceived, developed and refined to reach the finished designs that are frequently made by dirt cheap labour forces in Asia and elsewhere and bought by western consumers less and less from the high street chains and more and more via the world-wide-web. All this change relates to fishing baits too because food has to be caught, sown, harvested or extracted right! Even genuine vanilla which is the most commonly used flavour in the world is commercially-available due to someone hand-pollinating these orchid plants.
Years ago it would have been simple enough for a beginner to put on a piece of bread paste, or dig up a worm and use that. But these days an instant carp angler can expect to be bombarded with all kinds of ever more technologically exotic bait names that blind them with science and further induce new generations to give up on figuring out how their baits work and just use them to maximum effect even! Over the past 5 years full-time my aim has been to de-mystify carp, catfish, barbel and other baits; hence my present bait ebooks written to help you catch more fish!
Important relationships between bait substances soon become apparent with enough research. For example between different forms of betaine and amino acids, and between Talin and flavour components for example, or between salts, sugars and milk components and beneficial microoganisms and so on. This information and much more can all improve your catches most especially in tough times – and against better more experienced anglers. I only know this because so many of my readers use this information in their own creative ways and achieve this.
The fact remains that with the knowledge of what baits contain and why you can very seriously improve your catch results consistently – for life (note that knowledge is for life!) It is just the same as the difference between playing the guitar hero game and dreaming of being a rock God – and being a dreamer all your life. The irony is that my guitar teacher was a professional session player with big-name record companies 16 years and even played the odd stadium and other big venue gigs, yet he explained to me that he is no good at all when playing guitar hero! The power of getting direct knowledge from someone who has been there bought the T-shirt and done it is invaluable as with any teacher in any endeavour. If you made the effort to buy a well chosen guitar, take regular lessons from a well chosen tutor and developed your unique skills, then one day you really could become a rock God – whether in the local clubs or with rather larger audiences of TV or the web etc. Ultimately it takes commitment to get extremely good at anything and instant success by simply buying the latest wonder readymade bait is no guarantee of success for years to come – that comes with self-education and experience!
Most of us already know to whatever degree that proteins in carp and catfish baits etc are a positive thing in terms of bait success but did you know that amino acids as in proteins are addictive? By definition they are addictive simply because life cannot exist without them!
In North Korea when the last famine hit, thousands of school children died from malnutrition – they just withered away over the months from various deficiencies including those as a result of lack of essential amino acids. In such a hard-line communist country where forgetting to even dust the pictures of the leaders framed on your living room wall is a crime, such things as enough food come low down the list of priorities; communism at its very best – yet again (corruption from the top as usual!)
One ingredient sure to make your fish take notice of in your baits is soluble keramine protein. Its (free) soluble amino acid profile is tremendous! It is an excellent big fish edge and you can use it as powder or use it to make unique liquid foods just as you might by using pure betaine of soluble fish protein products etc (for more countless more edges see my bait secrets ebooks deals!)
Keramine is outstanding for big carp and giant catfish but why not source some squid liver oil perhaps and mix it with high PC liquid lecithins for a spring bait this year alongside keratine?! Again visit the Willisworms Formula-Carp bait section to get hold of keramine and keramine meat extract and so on (very few bait companies sell it!) Revealed in my unique readymade bait and homemade bait carp and catfish bait secrets ebooks is far more powerful information – look up my unique website (Baitbigfish) and see my biography for details right now!
