Lures of natural origin from cereals attract many types of fish. Experienced fishermen prefer to cook mastyrka - a dense dough that practically does not soak in water. There are many recipes, the choice depends on the purpose of the bait. A prerequisite is the preparation of mastyrka only from natural products. Flavors can be added as an exception.

Application methods
There are several types of test, the composition of which depends on the further application. Properly prepared mastyrka for fishing should have a certain taste, be a source of an attractive smell for fish. The main ingredients are pea and semolina dough. Oil and herbs are added to create aroma.
Porridges, based on pea mastyrka, are prepared for the following purposes:
- Lure. The mixture is made looser, the base is pea dough for fishing.
- Bait. Installed in a spring or similar type of container. The criterion is the maximum density that is needed for catching crucian carp or carp. The bait must be in the water for a long time, the dissolution coefficient is minimal.
- Nozzle. It is mounted on a hook, therefore, in terms of density it is not inferior to the bait described above. This pea bait can be made directly on a fishing trip.
For the preparation of each type, you can use the general composition, changing only the density and additional ingredients. Traditionally, pea mastyrka is used as a filler, but semolina is needed to increase the density.
cooking recipes
Before you cook mastyrka, you need to correctly calculate the time. Peas should be infused in water to increase the cooking speed and make a homogeneous mass. An alternative is to use flour. But finding pea flour is more difficult than cereals, and making it yourself will take more time and effort.
The classic mastyrka for carp contains peas, semolina. Additional components - sunflower oil, honey, sugar, eggs, flavors. Cooking order.
- Insist peas in water for 10-12 hours. An alternative is pea flour, which can be immediately thrown into boiling water.
- We do not add salt, it is important that the result is a homogeneous mass with a minimum water content.
- After a slight cooling, semolina is added.
- You need to knead until a dense lump is formed. To give the smell, use a teaspoon of honey, a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
So that the mastyrka on the bream does not stick to the hands, they are treated with oil. The finished mixture is wrapped in a cloth and allowed to cool completely. In the future, you can make balls for bait by tying each with a rope. It is needed to save the form.
For carp
The most picky fish in terms of food is carp. For him, it is recommended to make pea butter from Mikhalych. It consists of various components, but the basis is traditional pea porridge. A similar composition is suitable for catching carp.
The difference from the above recipe is that peas and semolina are taken in equal proportions and mixed without pre-boiling.
Cooking steps:
- A mixture of cereals is made in a 1: 1 ratio.
- Flavorings are added - honey, cinnamon, vegetable oil.
- The composition is placed in a bag of dense matter.
- Dipped in boiled water, and boiled for 25-30 minutes.
- After cooling, knead by adding vegetable oil.
On crucian
This type of fish prefers combined mixtures. As a basis, not pea mastyrka is used, but millet. Potatoes, Hercules porridge, corn grits and a little cake are added. Cream cheese is used to add flavor.
Millet dense wheat porridge is pre-cooked and potatoes are boiled, the latter is mashed with water. Mastyrka for crucian carp is prepared as follows.
- Mix wheat porridge and mashed potatoes until a homogeneous mixture is formed. You can add flour.
- Makukha, finely grated processed cheese, is added to the resulting composition.
- Pack the dough in a cloth bag.
- Boil in boiling water for 5-7 minutes.
At the end of cooling, flavors are added. For fishing, it is recommended to make separate portions for bait and bait. Each is wrapped with a thread with a loop. This will allow you to quickly set the bait on the tackle. It will take less time to prepare mastyrka for crucian carp, but in the end it can be used to catch other types of peaceful fish.

How to properly store and plant
Considering how long it takes to make pea butter for fishing, and the cooking recipe is relatively complicated, many fishermen prefer to prepare it in advance. Flavorings are not added to the finished mixture; after division into portions, they are placed in the freezer. At the end of defrosting, you need to stir the dough again and add flavorings. Since it will be possible to make a mastyrka relatively quickly, the time to prepare for fishing is optimized.
To put the bait on the hook, you need to follow these recommendations:
- The dough is made into balls the size of a medium pea. The porridge is pre-compacted.
- The bait should completely cover the tip of the hook. This minimizes the chance of the ball dropping on a hard cast.
- Cover the hook and sting with dough. This is a more time consuming method, but gives better fishing results. Outwardly, the bait will resemble a worm.
