What tricks fishermen do not go to return home empty-handed! Use various devices, bait, bait. It turns out that there are flavorings for fishing. These funds are not at all in order to discourage the smell of a fisherman, scaring away fish. They are used to attract her and activate her bite. To do this, you need to know exactly which smells a particular fish likes.
Types of attractants
Experienced fishermen prepare a certain amount of bait and flavorings are added to it. The main thing is not to put more than it should, otherwise the effect will be exactly the opposite. Flavors for fishing use at any time of the year. The main thing is that the bait slowly sinks under the water, so that the smell spreads over a considerable distance. If you use a flavoring agent in the form of a paste, then it will stick to the bait and will serve as a guarantee of its slow lowering. Syrups envelop tackles and bait, sticky and indelible, which means guaranteeing the stability of the aroma. You can also use liquid attractants or sprays.
Natural Flavors for Fishing
Nowadays, you can buy a bite activator in the store. It includes odorous substances that lure fish and stimulate its appetite. Those who want to save money prepare flavors for fishing on their own. To do this, you first need to know which smells are most attractive to fish. And they love the shades of camphor, ethereal, putrefactive, floral, mint, spicy and musky. Therefore, fishermen often use essential oils: lavender, anise, peppermint and others. Herbal extracts are also used, which are added to the bait with just a few drops. For some types of fish, flavors can be completely unexpected, such as cheese, dill, melon, nuts and strawberries, chocolate or vanilla. It is difficult to explain why they attract fish, because in their natural habitat these odors do not occur. Flavors for fishing are also prepared by finely chopping pieces of fish, leeches, coastal insects, offal, dung worms and May beetles. You can also add dried daphnia, bloodworms, shrimp, and larvae to the bait.
Do it yourself
To prepare the flavor at home, you must first cook the sugar syrup. It is thick and sticky, so it is perfect for processing bait, thanks to its enveloping property. In addition, it will not be able to quickly dissolve in water, thus prolonging the effect of aroma on fish. Sugar syrup can serve as the basis for the preparation of a variety of dip. To do this, you just need to add the necessary aroma to it. There is nothing complicated in making syrup. It is enough to bring to a boil 300 gr. sugar and a glass of water and then cool. If you need to add additional aroma, then do it while it is still hot. To prepare vanilla, put 1 bag of vanillin per 1 liter of syrup, cocoa or grated chocolate is added in a proportion of 150 g. per 1 liter, the spices are ground into powder and added as much as necessary to achieve the necessary concentration of odorous substance. Then cook it all together for several minutes. Such a syrup can be stored for a long time, but in the end it still crystallizes and becomes unusable. Home flavorings do not have special advantages over purchased ones. So why create difficulties for yourself? It is better to go to the store and purchase a ready-made bite activator.
Hungry fish
To peck at your bait, she must be hungry. If her appetite is not particularly good, it can be stimulated, for example, by using FishHungry. This activator can be added to any natural bait, processed artificial, and also diluted in water, into which then dip the bait. The package contains 5 ampoules. One ampoule is designed for 2-2.5 kg of bait or 0.5 l of water. Suitable for use in all types of ponds and at any time of the year. This activator is suitable for all types of fish. It contains concentrated essential oils and synthesized pheromones. Under the influence of the drug, the appetite of the fish rises, they tend to the place where the activator is located, and actively eat everything edible that appears in their path, including bait.
Reviews of anglers
Thus, the number of bites increases. How do fishermen respond about this wonderful tool? In fact, opinions were divided, and serious debates flared up around him. Some seek to curse the vaunted activator, finding in it a lot of shortcomings, even having never once used it. Others, on the contrary, share the photo with a big catch, expressing gratitude to FishHungary. Probably the most sensible advice is to use this activator yourself. Its cost is small, the fisherman gives a lot more for his gear and bait. If you can’t catch a lot of fish with it, then you can be sure that it is a fake.
Deeps for fishing
There are various forms of release of flavorings. It is very convenient to use sprays for fishing. With their help it is easy to process gear and bait. Differences from other flavors, in addition to being in spray cans, they do not have. You can choose any spray, depending on what kind of fish you are going to catch. Typically, manufacturers produce several categories of aromas: meat, floral, spicy, caramel and others. When choosing you need to rely on your own knowledge, as well as the experience of other fishermen, which suggests, for example, that anise oil is great for catching bream. But here no one can give guarantees. The spray that worked for one fisherman in the summer on the lake may not help another in the winter on the river. The stores present goods of both Russian and foreign manufacturers.
Fast and efficient
Sensas spray fragrance is produced in France. Small bottles of 75 ml contain a liquid intended for each type of fish separately. Each of them has its own smell. Flavors for carp, crucian carp and other large fish smell like fishmeal, roach and bream will like an earthworm, barbel will bite on the aroma of cheese. But there is a universal option - Sensas Bombix Brasem. It is suitable for many species of predatory fish. Fishermen respond positively to the sprays of this manufacturer. But it is advised to experiment with odors. There were cases when an aroma intended for one type of fish stimulated the bite of another.
Long lasting effect
Judging by customer reviews, sprays of domestic production do not lag behind foreign ones. For example, the company Silver Bream, represents the deeps with which our fishermen are satisfied. They note the stability of these flavors, and hence the cost-effectiveness of their use. There are 20 flavors to choose from. Among them are honey, anise, banana, vanilla, shrimp and spices, hemp and strawberries. They are suitable for both artificial and natural lures. The manufacturer recommends processing several hours before the start of fishing to enhance the effectiveness of the spray.
More often
The company "100 bites" also produces stable sprays on an oily basis. Small spray bottles have on their label information not only about what aroma they contain, but also for catching which fish it is suitable for. Among the odors presented by this company, one can find nuts, strawberries, garlic, banana, fried grasshopper, fried onions and others. And also a rare pepper flavor mix for bream, which is rarely found in other manufacturers. But it is better not to chase originality, but to choose a smell, focusing on your own experience.
international experience
An experienced fisherman knows what flavorings are needed for crucian carp. The Polish manufacturer Traper also knows this. Its line of sprays contains flavors suitable not only for this fish, but also for other species. In opaque plastic bottles with a spray contains 50 ml of odorous substance. There are aromas of hemp, coriander, anise, garlic. The fisherman can both apply them in their pure form, and make up a composition, focusing on the preferences of the fish in a particular reservoir. There are also odors arranged by the manufacturer himself and suitable for a certain type: bream, crucian carp, perch, roach. Traper products are popular in different countries and everywhere find a positive response in the soul of a fisherman.
Pour or pour
Not very convenient to use, but, according to some fishermen, more natural attractants are dry flavors. These fishing activators must be added to the bait 1-2 weeks before fishing. Indeed, not very convenient. In addition, this leaves no room for maneuver, that is, using such flavors, the fisherman will not be able to navigate on the spot and change the flavor, depending on the behavior of the fish. Liquid attractants quickly give their flavor to bait. But their sustainability depends on what basis they are made. Alcohols, of course, evaporate faster than essential oils. Attractants are also produced in the form of a gel.
Gels are also used
For example, Mega Strike Unuversa in a tube weighing 57 grams has quite positive reviews. Most suitable for fishing predators. The composition is classified by the manufacturer. It is only known that it includes proteins and amino acids. The gel is easy to apply, stable. It has a natural taste and smell. Domestic Pike gel is actively soluble in water, spreading an attractive aroma. Suitable for use in stagnant water or bodies of water with a low current. It is economical, applied in a thin layer. Most suitable for catching freshwater predators, especially pike. Exciting food and olfactory receptors, attracts fish and arouses their appetite.
Science and fishing
This gel, like other types of attractants, is a scientific development of scientists of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the SB RAS of Novosibirsk and OOO NPP Mikros. The natural composition allows you to position them as a feed additive. These products are based on extracts of animal origin. The main component is arachidonic acid, which has a natural fish smell. It acts strongly on predatory fish: pike, zander, perch and others. Additionally, these products contain trace elements, vitamins, omega-3, 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, steroid hormones, and amino acids. Of interest is the dry attractant developed in the same place. "Albumin" is produced from blood plasma, saturating it with protein and amino acids. Actively spreads its aroma when added to the bait. The people called it “dry blood”. Produce it by fractional drying. Sterility is achieved by treatment with ultraviolet rays. For best efficiency, you need to add powder with a volume of 5-10% of the total amount of bait. With its help, they catch not only predators, but also carp, roach, and crucian carp.
Only you
Some manufacturers prefer to produce products that are suitable for catching only one species of fish. These include the company from the UK Dynamite Baits. It produces bait for carp and is considered the largest in Europe. According to the manufacturer, attractants for this fish should be liquid. They are so sure of the effectiveness of their products that they sell bottles of odorous liquid with a volume of 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 l, assuming in advance that the fisherman will be satisfied and want to buy more. So why do we need small volumes?

No wonder they use the advice of Mick Brown, Terry Hearn and Stephen Ringer - successful and famous anglers. Their attractants not only aromatize, but also color the bait, giving it a natural, natural color. For example, "Green Betaine" gives the bait a green hue. The liquids of this company are based on natural extracts, proteins and amino acids. There are many varieties of them. All of them are attractive to carp. Among them are “Krill”, “Squid”, “Worm”.

He should know where, when and whom he is going to catch, and on the basis of this use suitable fishing tools.
