Bait Balls: If you prefer to fish with bait balls, you can pinch any of the above baits into small balls. To better attract fish, you can insert a small piece of fish or a small worm in the center of the bait ball.
5.Precautions:
Each fish has its own favorite food, and you'll need to adjust your bait recipe according to your target fish's preferences. For example, carp prefer sweet foods, while sea bass prefer fishy foods.
Fresh bait is always more attractive than old bait. Therefore, try to use fresh ingredients to make bait.
The color and texture of the bait can also affect its appeal. For example, bright colors and soft textures are often more appealing to fish.
Finally, don't forget to be patient and quiet while fishing. Fish are usually wary and may scare them away if you are too impatient or make too much noise.
