Cheap Catfish And Carp Attractor Baits - With Irresistible Extras!

Making simple fishing baits that really work is very easy. But if you want very consistent success and perhaps bigger fish too, then adding a few 'extras' to a beginners simple bait is well worth it!

The commonest and easiest powdered or flours based bait that makes a fishing dough or boilie bait, is one made from a 50 to 50 percent mixture of soya meal or flour and semolina. The fresh full fat versions of these ingredients are the best.

Some anglers use maize meal, corn grits, potato starch, ground rice, or even ordinary white flour.

These ingredients are made into a dough using just enough water or eggs or combinations of both. Very often a flavour is used and there is a choice of thousands of these, the ones specifically designed for fishing often are the best for beginners.

Most anglers have made their own dough, paste or boilie baits at some stage, and found that adding other ingredients can drastically improve results. There are many complicated reasons why this happens and knowing these reasons is true power which can really skyrocket your results, especially big fish catches.

Here are a few ingredients that when added to the simplest bait mixes can make all the difference to your catches:

* Betaine hydrochloride.

* Vitamin and mineral supplement.
