Bream takes a wide variety of baits and baits. One of the most common is dough. The main reason for its popularity is the ease and variability of preparation, the possibility of adding attractants. Let’s talk in more detail how to make dough for bream and when it is best to use it.
When and how to use the nozzle
Bream dough is best used in summer, from the second half of June to the first half of August. Fish of the carp family at this time become more passive than during the spring or autumn zhora. They take the bait from a worm or maggot no longer so willingly, they treat it with caution. But vegetable nozzles do not cause any concern in them and are eaten with pleasure.
The dough has proven itself well in the winter.
In spring and autumn, the nozzle is less effective. During these seasons it is better to use animal baits.
The dough is used if there is no fishing place:
- intense flow;
- other peaceful fish.
In the first case, the ball will get wet very quickly and come off the hook. And if another peaceful fish feeds nearby, it will remove the nozzle, which will not wait for the main taster. This happens especially often if bleak or medium-sized roach are kept in the place of fishing – removal occurs every 1-2 minutes.
Use the test nozzle most often on:
- float rod;
- feeder or other type of donkey.
To keep the ball better, use special hooks with a small wire feeder. It successfully resists the flow and attempts to remove the treat, keeping the soft mixture inside the metal rings.
There is another way to avoid losing the nozzle. A ball is formed from it, resembling a carp boilie, and then tied to a hook on a thin fishing line. Of course, the proportions of such a nozzle must correspond to the size of the object of fishing. A similar method is most suitable for donoks or float rods, provided that the hook lies on the bottom.
Effective recipes
So how do you make good bream fishing dough? Below are a few popular recipes that have worked well.
Classic
The classic dough for bream fishing is easy to prepare. For this you need:
- place in a bowl of a suitable size 300 – 400 grams of wheat flour;
- pour it with about 150 ml of clean water;
- Mix the ingredients with your hand or a spoon until smooth.
pea
To prepare pea dough you will need:
- boil 100-200 gr of peas;
- after the end of cooking, knead it well;
- add 50 g of herculean flakes and the same amount of flour;
- mix everything thoroughly;
- form a cake from the resulting mixture and fry it a little in sunflower oil.
You can use pea flour. It does not need to be boiled – just soak the required amount in water, bringing it to the desired consistency. Otherwise, the cooking algorithm is no different.
For cooking, it is better to take half peas – it steams much faster.
For fishing on a donk or feeder, it is better to prepare a slightly different version of pea dough. To get such a nozzle you need:
- mix pea flour or steamed peas with the same amount of wheat flour;
- place the mixture in a plastic bag and tie it tightly;
- cook everything right in the container for 30-40 minutes.
The dough prepared in this way has a higher density. It is almost not washed out of the feeder or from the hook, it gets wet very badly, it is hardly stolen by “little things”.
On a pea nozzle it will be good to catch not only bream and bream, but also:
- carp;
- carp;
- crucian carp;
- tench.
All these fish are very partial to her.
From potatoes
Potato batter for bream fishing is a popular summer bait option. Here’s what you need to prepare it properly:
- boil potatoes in uniform;
- when it is ready, peel and grate on a fine or medium grater;
- mix potatoes with the same amount of wheat flour;
- form a dense lump from the resulting mixture and cook it for 20-30 minutes.
If desired, you can add a crumb of white bread to the mixture. The bait likes not only bream, but also carp, carp. It is also willingly taken by other “white” fish.
“Air”
“Air” dough is another effective nozzle for bream. Most of all, she likes a small scavenger. Other “white” fish also come across: roach, rudd, silver bream. Large bleak especially likes to eat the “airy” bait.
Prepare such a dough as follows:
- egg yolks are placed in 200 grams of sunflower cake;
- mix everything until a homogeneous consistency, place in a plastic bag and tie tightly;
- boil the mixture directly in the container for 5 minutes.
For cooking, you can use other ingredients – cornmeal and semolina. In this case, it does not need to be boiled – the mixture is quite thick without it.
For winter fishing
The dough for catching bream in winter is almost the same as the classic summer version. True, it adds:
- 2-3 tablespoons of powdered milk;
- some baker’s yeast.
If desired, a small amount of semolina can be included in the number of ingredients. All white fish willingly peck at such a bait in winter, and by the end of the season even a perch takes it.
Additional additives
In addition to the main ingredients, you need to add additional ones to the dough. The main ones are salt and sugar. There should be enough of them in the mixture so that it seems moderately sweet and salty to the angler himself. If you do not include these components, the fish will take the nozzle much worse.
Attractants are also placed in the dough, which, with their intense smell, attract the object of fishing and awaken his appetite. Basically, various plant extracts or plants themselves act in their role. Here’s what’s used the most.
Vanillin
The most popular attractant. Moderate use of this substance makes the bite more intense, attracting all kinds of “peaceful” white fish (and sometimes juvenile carp predators) to the bait. You don’t need to put a lot of vanillin into the mixture – a small amount of powder on the tip of a knife is enough.
Cinnamon
Also attracts the object of fishing. As in the previous case, a small amount of seasoning is used to prepare a nozzle or bait.
Cocoa
2-3 tablespoons of this powder per 0,5-1 kg of the mixture will ensure greater attention of the cyprinid fish to the treat offered to them.
Dill
Adding dry or chopped fresh dill to the bait can also attract a target. An extract from the plant is often used.
anise extract
Anise drops are used when mixing baits and baits. They can be purchased at any fishing store. Chopped grass is also used.
Koriandr
The traditional Georgian seasoning does not leave indifferent even fish – in most carps it increases appetite.
Each of the listed additives can be used in the preparation of dough. Their proportion in the mixture is indicated approximate – in practice it is selected empirically. To do this, they take part of the test, add a little attractant, plant it and observe the result. So, experimentally, set its required amount.
It’s important not to overdo it. If there is too much extra additive in the bait, it may scare the fish away.
It is not worth using several attractants at once. This, too, can cause an effect opposite to the desired one.
Synthetic compounds are also used as substances that attract the attention of the object of fishing. As a rule, these are various amino acids that speed up metabolic processes in the body of the fish and increase its appetite. They can be purchased at fishing stores separately or as part of special mixtures.
To summarize
In summer and winter, vegetable baits are most effective for catching bream and other carp fish. The easiest to make is dough. There are many recipes for this nozzle. The classic one involves mixing wheat flour and water. Others use peas, cake, semolina as ingredients. Significantly increases the effectiveness of the dough by adding sugar, salt and attractants.
