Do-it-yourself fishing fly: the best recipes, instructions and tips

Fishing is a very interesting hobby that attracts many fans to sit with a fishing rod near a river or on a pond. In the process of regular fishing, there is a passion that leads to entrepreneurship in this area. In order for fishing to always be productive, you need to know the behavior of the fish and its preferences. To date, there are a huge number of ways to effectively catch fish. The most promising question is how best to attract fish. Fishing has been around for as long as humanity has existed. Even our grandfathers were engaged in attracting fish with various ingredients. One of the effective ways is the use of makukha. It is a natural ingredient used by our ancestors to catch fish and feed their families. Nowadays, there are a sufficient number of artificially created mixtures, but natural products have always been and remain in the first place.

This, not a long article, is designed to help not only novice anglers, but also professionals to make a fly for fishing with their own hands. Thanks to the use of natural ingredients, the catch will always be greater compared to the use of artificial bait with attractants and flavors.

Makukha bait: what is it?

Makukha is a cake, which is a by-product of the processing of oil plants, such as:

• Linen.
• Hemp.
• Sunflower.

The most widespread pressed cake after processing sunflower seeds. The fish actively reacts to the aroma of sunflower. A hook is hidden in the bait, which the fish sucks together with the top. After the hook enters the mouth of the fish, it is already difficult for her to get rid of it.

Lure Features

There are several options for making makukha at home. For example:

1. In the home kitchen. A fairly suitable option, especially since everyone owns a home kitchen. Unfortunately, there is one problem: when making a large amount of bait, the kitchen will quickly lose its attractive appearance.
2. With the help of a special tool, in the form of a board for rolling boilies. This will greatly facilitate the entire cooking process.
3. With the help of a press, since pressing is considered the main condition for obtaining a quality product. There are some options for using a jack. As for human hands, they do not have sufficient strength.

Advantages of Makukha

There is an opinion that the top, as a bait, is the past. But how is it different:

• From Boylov.
• Feeders.
• Or PVA bags?

Almost nothing, but when it comes to cost, there are significant differences. As for boilies, you can find artificial ingredients in their composition, as well as preservatives. Here they are simply necessary, since it is simply not realistic to quickly sell large volumes of products. Preservatives help keep the product much longer. Since fish are able to distinguish natural ingredients from artificial ones, it is only natural that they will prefer natural ingredients. In this regard, we can safely say that making bait with your own hands should be a priority.

How to make do-it-yourself makuha for fishing

1. From seeds.
2. Components.
3. Raw seeds, any quantity, depending on the need.
4. Tools.
5. Coffee grinder.
6. Cake form.
7. Press.
8. Large utensils (bowl or saucepan).

Forms must be equipped with holes for oil to drain.

Method of preparation:

• Seeds are roasted until half cooked.
• Seeds are ground in any available way.
• Forms are filled with crushed seeds.
• Using a press, the seeds are pressed into molds.
• In the process of such actions, the forms must be heated.
• The product should not be removed from the mold immediately as it will begin to disintegrate. The heating should be turned off and wait until everything cools down.
• The cooking process can take up to 1 hour.
• Makukha is stored in a jar, along with pressed oil.

In the process of preparation, you should pay attention to some features:

• Forms are equipped with removable bottoms to make it easier to get pressed briquettes.
• It does not make sense to make briquettes for the future, because over time they lose their natural bright aroma.
• Makukha is stored in tightly closed jars.
• The remaining oil is perfect for high-quality complementary foods.
• If pressing is difficult, then it is better to determine the forms in water baths. Heating speeds up the molding process.

from peas

Peas are a priority product for carp fishing. Unfortunately, peas are not large and a rather small specimen can peck at it. If you cook classic boilies from peas, then small fish will immediately be cut off.

Components:

1. 100 grams of peas.
2. 30 grams of semolina.
3. One chicken egg.
4. 1 Art. spoon of corn oil.
5. 1 st. spoon of honey.
6. 0,5 st. tablespoons of glycerin

Technology of preparation:

• Peas are ground in a coffee grinder.
• Semolina is added to the peas and mixed.
• An egg is broken into a separate container and corn oil, honey and glycerin are added. Everything mixes well.
• A mixture of egg, oil and glycerin is added to chopped peas.
• Everything is kneaded to a thick dough and transferred to a bag for ripening.
• After that, make boilies of the required size. This is done on a special board. The dough should not be sticky, but not loose.
• Boilies are placed in boiling, slightly salty water. Once they float, they still need to be boiled for about a minute.
• Finally, the boilies are dried.

Before going fishing, a small amount of melted butter is added to the package with boilies. For carp, this is a very attractive scent. Boilies are the same peas, but much larger. This is necessary so that small fish do not get bored, and catching a large specimen is the pinnacle of pleasure.

Recipe from “Mikhalycha”

This option for preparing a catchy bait is suitable for those who have a jack. In addition to it, you will need other devices:

1. Jack for 2-3 tons.
2. Squeeze per inch, with cork.
3. A pair of pistons that match the internal size of the squeegee.
4. Metal frame.

Feeding ingredients:

• Sunflower seeds – 30%.
• Bird food – 30%.
• Peas – 15%.
• Shortbread cookies – 15%.
• Nuts – 10%.
• A small amount of popcorn.

Stages of preparation:

• Solid components are ground in a coffee grinder.
• Pour the ingredients into the drive (it is also the form).
• Close the squeegee with pistons and install it between the jack and the frame.
• Pump the jack until the desired hardness is obtained.
• Ready briquettes should be dried for a week.

The process is considered to be quite laborious, but rather high-quality briquettes are obtained in 3-4 hours. Since the pressing force is large, the cake will not dissolve in water so quickly. For greater strength of the briquettes, the squeegee can be additionally heated.

Some recommendations from seasoned fishermen

Natural ingredients can be used:

• as bait.
• As a feed.

The first option involves disguising a hook in a briquette, after which it is sent into the water. According to this principle, such equipment as a crown works. The aroma of a freshly prepared briquette lures the fish, and it begins to swallow the cake along with the hooks. The second option involves the usual throwing it into the water in the place where it is supposed to fish. Naturally, it attracts fish to the place of fishing.

Catch on top:

• Carp.
• Carp.
• Crucian.

Catching carp begins with feeding it. Carp love smells such as sunflower or peas, and other ingredients will go as bait.

Carp is a rather powerful fish and you will need a heavy sinker to catch it, especially since carp prefer areas with a strong current. In the process of fishing, it is necessary to change the top often and use the feeder.

Fishing for crucian carp is characterized by the fact that mostly small specimens are caught, and large crucian carp is a rarity. Despite this, there is a category of anglers who love to catch crucian. And here the top can seriously help in attracting crucian carp. Makukha on crucian acts in the same way as on carp. Makukha is best used as bait, and you can catch crucian carp on any bait of any origin. For example:

• Na tall.
• On maggot.
• On a worm.

If you mask the hooks in the top, then you can catch a lot of small carp. By the way, many anglers like to catch small carp more than waiting hours for a large specimen to bite.

It is equally important to ensure that the bait is fresh. If it has not been used in short terms, then it is better to throw it away and prepare a new one: natural ingredients deteriorate very quickly.

Conclusion

Many anglers are engaged in self-preparation of bait, as well as the manufacture of fishing accessories for various purposes.

This is due to genuine interest and the realization that the fish are caught on the bait of their own preparation. In addition to being interesting, it is also profitable.

After all, it’s not a secret for anyone that purchased baits are expensive and not every family budget is able to withstand such a load.

In addition, there is nothing complicated in the preparation of cake, and special expensive equipment is not required. As for the result, it can exceed all expectations and show high efficiency.
