In summer fishing, bait backwater is a headache. What is bait regurgitation?It is the separation of moisture and solids in the bait, causing the bait to become loose and difficult to take the bait. The main reason for the backlash of bait is that the bait contains animal protein and vegetable protein, and the solubility of these components in the water decreases with the increase in temperature, thus releasing water. 
So, how to avoid or reduce bait backlash?Below, I will introduce you to 5 simple and effective methods, I hope to help you. Method 1: Pay attention to the material of the bait trayThe bait tray is an essential tool for fishing, but in hot weather, different materials will have different effects. The metallic bait tray has a fast heat absorption rate due to its strong thermal conductivity, and if it is exposed to sunlight, it will accelerate the bait to reverse water. Therefore, it is recommended that you try to avoid using metal bait trays, or to block the sun when using, or to replace other materials with bait trays. 
Method 2: Refine the pellet baitThe particle size of the bait also affects the degree to which the bait backs up. If there is a mixture of coarse and fine particles in the bait, due to the uneven particles, there will be a lot of voids in the bait, leaving room for moisture, making the bait more susceptible to backwater.
Therefore, when making bait, it is necessary to refine the granular bait as much as possible, and break or sieve the coarse particles to make the bait more compact and reduce the void. 
Method 3: Adjust the bait-to-water ratioThe bait-to-water ratio refers to the ratio of bait to water, which is an important factor affecting the water repulsion of bait. Generally speaking, commercial baits will be marked with the recommended value of the bait-to-water ratio, and if you follow the instructions, there will generally be no backwatering. However, if there is a situation of anti-water in individual commercial bait, or it is a homemade bait, it is necessary to adjust the bait-water ratio appropriately according to the actual situation. The specific method is that when the bait is backwater, the bait-to-water ratio can be appropriately reduced, such as from 1:1 to 1:09 or 1:08. According to the characteristics of the bait, fine-tuning can be done. In addition, you can also use warm water at 30 to 40 degrees to open the bait, which can increase the solubility of protein in the bait and reduce the possibility of backwatering. 
Method 4: Wrap the baitThe essence of bait backwater is the separation of water and solids in the bait, so if you can prevent the loss of water, you can effectively avoid bait backwater. A simple way to do this is to wrap a protective film around the outer layer of the bait to isolate the exchange of moisture between the bait and the outside environment. Common protective films include wet towels, paper towels, etc., which can wrap the bait and prevent water from evaporating. Another way is to sprinkle some dry powder bait on the outer layer of the bait, such as bran, mashed potatoes, etc., which can absorb the excess water in the bait and play a role in regulating the moisture of the bait. 
Method 5: Reduce the amount of baitThe amount of bait is also a factor that affects the backwater of the bait. If the amount of bait is too large at one time, the bait will be easy to backwater after a long time. Therefore, it is recommended that you reduce the amount of bait and increase the number of bait to ensure the freshness and physiality of the bait. Generally speaking, the bait can be opened every 3-4 hours in winter and every 1 or 2 hours in summer, which can effectively avoid bait backwater. 
Finally, pay attention to the skill of baiting. When loading the bait, avoid using the palm of your hand, and use your fingers to pinch the bait or rub the bait, which can reduce the squeezing of water and alleviate the phenomenon of backwater. In addition, you can also add some granular flour in moderation, such as corn flour, wheat bran flour, etc., which can increase the stability of the bait and prolong the state time of the bait.
