Bait for bream, an overview of the best baits by season

Many anglers, going fishing to catch bream, are quite meticulous in preparing for this process. This applies not only to bream fishing, since each fish is different in its behavior and each of them needs its own approach. It is necessary not only to choose the right place, tackle and choose the tactics of fishing, but also to provide the whole process with the right bait.

Despite this, one should take into account the factor that, in addition to bream, there are other fish in the pond that do not mind tasting the same bait. Therefore, as a rule, roach, rudd, sabrefish, silver bream, etc. are caught together with bream. You can count on catching only one bream if there is more of it in the reservoir than any other fish. Unfortunately, there are practically no such reservoirs, except for some paid ones, where only bream breeding is practiced.

This article aims to acquaint readers with various baits designed for bream fishing, as well as their catchy combinations. Moreover, both options with baits of animal origin and vegetable origin will be considered. In addition, there are approaches that allow you to activate the bite of this fish through the use of various flavors. Basically, in this article, there is only useful information that can interest anglers of any category.

Bait of animal origin

Such baits are considered a priority in relation to catching bream. They can be used at any time of the year, but they can be most effective in spring or autumn, when the water has not yet warmed up significantly. During periods of summer heat, bream can concentrate on plant-based baits. Although during this period he can safely take baits of animal origin. Therefore, when going fishing, it is better to stock up on a whole range of baits and baits. This will make it possible to determine the preferences of this interesting and desirable fish directly on the pond.

Bait of animal origin for bream fishing should include:

• dung (earth) worm;
• creep out;
• maidservant;
• bloodworm.

This type of bait is considered universal and can be used to catch other fish. Therefore, the angler should be prepared for the fact that his catch will consist of several types of fish, including bream. As a rule, this does not cause any problems for any of the anglers. But if there is a desire to catch only bream, then you will have to seriously try.

Muckworm

This is a bait that can be caught by any fish. Therefore, if a dung worm is used, then you need to be prepared for various surprises. Another thing, you can do so that small fish could not take the bait into their mouths. In this regard, not one worm is put on the hook, but several at once. As a result, a bunch of worms is formed and small fish, no matter how much they want it, will not be able to cope with such a bait. In this case, only large fish will be caught. Even if a large crucian gets caught, then this is already a big plus.

Creep out

This is a large earthworm, which is quite often used even for catching catfish. If you bait it on a hook, then we can assume that this bait will work on large bream, as well as carp or carp.

Oparysh

This is a bait that no fish, including bream, will refuse. But here it is important to cut off any “little thing”, otherwise even perched water can be observed in the catch. To prevent this from happening, it is better to put a large maggot and several pieces on the hook.

Bloodworm

It is also used for catching bream. But the bloodworm is very fragile and small, so the bream does not have time to peck first. With this, first of all, smaller fish cope. Therefore, the bloodworm will be able to provide a catch of a very diverse and not very large fish.

Vegetable nozzles for bream

Plant-based baits also effectively affect bream fishing, especially in summer. Although bream is not so actively caught in summer, but properly selected plant baits can awaken the appetite of bream as well. Even in spring and autumn, the bream refuses the worm, preferring to feast on delicious corn. Therefore, there is only one conclusion: any nozzles must be present at the disposal of the angler so as not to be left without a catch.

Nozzles of plant origin countless. The following baits are considered the most effective:

• manka or dough;
• corn, including pickled;
• peas in any form;
• pearl barley.

Manka or dough

Semolina, cooked in the form of a talker, is considered a nozzle for catching bream on a float rod. But it is better to catch bream with this nozzle in the dark, and during the day it will be knocked down by small fish. In addition to bream, large crucian or carp can be caught, including other, but large fish. This type of bait is not suitable for feeder fishing, as it does not hold well on the hook.

Corn

To catch bream on corn, it must first be cooked (boiled) or canned corn should be used. This is also an effective bait, which in size is not at all fit for small fish, but other large fish will peck. It can be carp, silver bream, roach, etc. It is considered a universal nozzle, as it is suitable for both fishing with a float rod and for fishing with bottom gear.

Peas

Suitable for both homemade and canned. And yet, bream takes more actively on peas cooked at home. It is very popular with anglers as a nozzle, as it completely cuts off any small fish. Peas are ideal for hair rigs, as they are more efficient, allowing for effective cuts. This is due to the fact that the hook remains bare and better penetrates the lip of the fish. Peas will also fit for a float rod and for other fishing methods.

Pearl barley

Not a single fishing trip is complete without barley. On its basis, most baits are prepared. Moreover, barley is liked by many fish, including bream. As for small fish, barley is not quite to her taste. Barley is a great option when you want to see a variety of fish in your catch.

Biting activation

The bream does not always want to take the bait offered to it. But if you put a couple of ingredients on the hook, then he starts to show an appetite. In this way, fishing can be saved. Such a composition of nozzles is called a “sandwich”. Moreover, the combination of baits can be completely different: it can be a combination of the same type of baits (of animal origin or plant origin) or of different types (bait of animal origin + bait of plant origin).

Taking with you a whole range of baits, you can combine baits in any combination. Moreover, there can be quite a lot of options. This approach allows you to determine the type of bait that the bream prefers at the moment. Very often, the bream refuses any bait that is on the hook, if it is alone. But it is worth planting a “sandwich”, and the bream starts pecking again.

The most interesting combinations are:

• Corn plus maggot.
• Maggot plus bloodworm.
• Maggot plus worm.
• Worm plus corn.
• Corn plus peas.
• Barley plus maggot, etc.

Naturally, this is not a complete list of options: it all depends on the number of nozzles available. It should also be noted that two baits at once is not the limit, since you can bait three at once if there is enough space on the hook. As a rule, when experiments begin, they always benefit. In addition to the fact that there is every chance to catch a large specimen, “sandwiches” help to reduce to zero a lot of unnecessary bites, and especially small fish.

The use of aromatic additives

This is another way that can activate the bite of a bream. But this does not mean at all that any flavor will do, as long as the bait has a smell. Each fish, and in a single reservoir, prefers one particular flavor. As a rule, both natural components and artificial ones are used, which can be bought at a retail outlet. These are useful supplements, if only used wisely, in reasonable doses. This is especially true for flavorings of artificial origin. As for the natural ingredients that are present in any home kitchen, this rule may not apply. They do not have a pronounced aroma and are not able to saturate the bait or nozzle to the maximum, which cannot be said about flavors of artificial origin. If you add too much, then the opposite effect may turn out: the fish will be in shock and are unlikely to take this bait.

Moreover, in spring, summer and autumn, absolutely different amounts (ratios) of aromatic substances are required. And here, too, it is very important not to overdo it.

Catching spring

During this period, any fish prefers baits of animal origin, including bream. Therefore, bream can be attracted by the smell of objects of animal origin, such as worms, shrimps, bloodworms, crabs, etc. In addition, in the spring the bream takes baits with the smell of garlic.

Fishing in summer

With the advent of summer, sweet additives, such as chocolate, strawberries, vanillin, tutti frutti and others, begin to interest bream. During this period, nozzles with the smell of cheese work well.

Fishing in autumn

In autumn, almost the same as in spring, but it makes sense to use smells like “plum” or chocolate.

Fishing in winter

In winter, the Scolex fragrance works well, but you can try others.

As a rule, purchased components are expensive, so many anglers use commonly available products.

For example:

• Garlic.
• Dill (seeds).
• Sunflower oil.
• Vanilla.
• Med.
• Cinnamon.
• Koriandr.
• Carnation.

With the skillful use of components, you can do without expensive purchased ones, the main thing is that the effect is the same.
