| questions anglers ask about baits and fishing are | | | | beginners usually make the most common |
| pretty irrelevant compared to some of the most | | | | mistake of falling into the trap of thinking like an |
| important which are so often over-looked | | | | angler and relying on personal judgements and |
| because the angler is so conditioned to thinking | | | | opinions about bait substances and flavours to |
| like a commercially-manipulated angler instead of | | | | formulate baits instead of starting off with the |
| thinking like a fish - which is far superior of | | | | fish themselves (which is obviously where the |
| course; so read on and find out more! | | | | true power is!) Avoid limiting your bait success by |
| When your thinking about baits choices and how | | | | getting to know your fish very well indeed inside |
| to manipulate fish senses and behaviours in our | | | | and out! By focussing on the fish in the first |
| favour against them begins with the fish | | | | instance and not on bait substances you will be |
| themselves you have incredible potential power | | | | thinking like a carp and be able to get the edge |
| compared to anglers. So in the beginning when | | | | over the majority who merely think like anglers. |
| considering bait at all, why start of with bait itself | | | | Some really great bait substances are not |
| at all when it is far more productive by starting | | | | necessarily effective used on their own in water, |
| off with taking a much better look at the fish?! | | | | but work at their peak in synergistic ways |
| Relatively very few anglers understand carp in | | | | alongside other bait substances to produce |
| detail so it is no surprise they have little idea how | | | | maximum effects on fish. Certain bait substances |
| their baits might possibly work to attract fish to | | | | can be termed habit-forming and these do not |
| take baited hooks inside their mouths - but if you | | | | have to be anything exotic or unusual; I would |
| understood this imagine the power this provides | | | | include essential amino acids and certain |
| you with over anglers with little or no knowledge | | | | non-essential acids in this category. So many carp |
| or insight regarding this incredibly vital aspect of | | | | angler have somehow become conditioned to |
| fishing. | | | | think that if their bait has very little flavours or |
| The majority of carp anglers in the UK and some | | | | smells that they can detect that their bait is going |
| other countries where carp fishing has become so | | | | to be less effective, but the truth can very easily |
| commercialized, are dependent on expensive | | | | be the opposite! |
| ready made carp boilies, pellets etc. You could say | | | | In terms of linking fish senses and bait tastes, |
| that the bait companies just want that trend to | | | | flavours and aromas for instance, carp can sense |
| continue so they can extract as much money out | | | | substances in solution down to just a few parts in |
| of you as possible - after all, making customers | | | | a million and detect subtle energy fields in many |
| dependent on products is one of the prime goals | | | | ways in effect, so including almost any substance |
| of those wanting to make big money but that | | | | in your bait will be detected to some degree even |
| gives them a huge amount of power over you | | | | it you cannot smell it or taste it or even if it |
| which perhaps not too many of us can afford | | | | supposedly inert in terms of our comparatively |
