Hello ,
Recently I was told of a bait for trout that consisted of sardines combined with wonder bread, without the crust. I should think this scented bait might be more successful with larger trout that are completely adapted to the wild, and are too sharp for the common power baits.
I know what water does to bread flour ( dissolves it) , so after combining these two ingredients with a fork, am seeking a third ingredient that will convert it to a heavy paste so it will stay on a hook. Some dough based baits I have already seen just seem to fall readily off a hook, when placed in the water, so creating something that will adhere to a hook appeals highly to me. I note Berkeley "crumbles" are of the consistency that seems to last , when immersed in the water. Does anyone seriously know what component I can use to create a heavy paste(?) type of bait?
Try mixing in some corn starch to bind
My season starts again in March. I have just been reintroduced to fishing and also trout fishing. I have caught just a few really large (20"+) rainbows and want to concentrate on them next year. This bait, when i get it formulated correctly should be helpful in achieving that goal.
