Barley is often used for fishing, and many people know how to cook for bream. However, not everyone and not always gets the bait or attachment of the desired quality. Experienced anglers have their own secrets and special ingredients, thanks to which the product turns out as it should.

Steaming in a thermos

This method will allow you to end up with pearl barley as a hook attachment, and you don’t need to invent anything special. For steaming you will need:

• thermos, with a capacity of 0,5 l;
• tablespoon;
• glass.

From the products we choose barley itself and stock up on boiling water. The process is carried out like this:

• boil a little more than 2 glasses of water in a container;
• open the thermos, check that it is clean;
• separately in a bowl measure 2 tbsp. l. barley;
• a clean thermos is doused with boiling water to warm the flask;
• fall asleep cereal;

• clog tightly.

After 1-1,5 hours, the cereal will increase in volume and will be completely suitable for use.

When steaming in a thermos, no flavorings are added, already prepared cereals are dipped in a dip or attractant.

This method of preparation is often used immediately before leaving for a pond, already on the shore, barley is removed from a thermos, excess liquid is drained, if any, dried on cloth or sprinkled with breadcrumbs.

Cooking in a saucepan

If there is time, then it is better to cook the grits on the stove in a saucepan, so you get a sufficient amount for bream both for bait and for hooking.

They do it like this:

• a pre-measured number of grains is poured into a prepared container, namely a saucepan;
• fill with water, which should be 5 times larger in volume;
• put on fire and bring to a boil;
• as soon as the contents of the pan boil, the fire must be reduced to a minimum and left to languish;
• after 40-50 minutes, the pan is removed from the heat and wrapped in a terry towel for at least 5 hours.

In this way, it is better to cook cereals in the evening and leave them wrapped up for the night, but in the morning go fishing for bream with ready-made grain.

During the cooking process, you can add anise grains, cinnamon in a stick, cardamom, a couple of clove buds to the pan. Spices will become excellent flavors, on the pond you will no longer have to fool around with this. It is imperative to dry barley before use; for this, it is poured onto newspapers sent in several layers or onto a terry towel. Before being sent to the container, sprinkle with dry semolina or oatmeal.

This cooking method is not known to everyone, only experienced anglers know that without a thermos, barley can be quickly steamed to the desired softness. So, everything goes like this:

• pour one part of the cereal into the pan;
• pour three parts of water;
• put on fire and let boil;
• the fire is reduced to a minimum and boiled for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally;
• after this time, they are removed from the fire and wrapped in old warm clothes.

In this form, cereals are taken for fishing, already on the shore, you can add vegetable oil, anise drops or other flavors that will improve the bite.

These are the main methods for preparing barley for fishing, and the first will allow you to use the grains only as bait on the hook, the second and third are suitable for driving feeders, but other ingredients will need to be added to them.

Additives for porridge

Barley for bream: we found out how to cook, but in this form it does not always work. What needs to be added to make a steamed grain or porridge more attractive to the inhabitants of the reservoir?

For each fish, its own smell is acceptable, bream loves not all of the presented ones. To accurately get a trophy, you need to know which flavors to use at what time of the year.

However, it is not necessary to strictly adhere to the recommendations. Experienced anglers have often noticed that it is always worth experimenting with smells, often in winter the bream was excellent for barley with a fruit attractant.

To add volume and give a smell to pearl barley as a bait, use:

• sunflower cake;
• breadcrumbs;
• boiled millet;
• confectionery waste;
• cookie fight;
• purchased bait mixtures.

Additives should be poured carefully, a large number of ingredients with different smells can only scare away the fish.

Self-brewed syrups are often used as fruit flavoring. Raspberry, apricot, strawberry and mulberry will work great. They are used in small quantities, as they are concentrated.

Barley for bream fishing is used both as bait on a hook for float tackle, and as bait for stuffing into a feeder. Everyone can cook it, but for this you need to know and adhere to the proportions, and also do not forget about the rest of the ingredients.
