Do-it-yourself molasses for fishing bait: preparation and use

During the production of sugar, a by-product is formed - sugar syrup. It is less sweet than its culinary counterpart or syrup. For fishing, fodder molasses is used, adding it to various baits and baits. Molasses has a specific smell, dark brown color and viscous mass.

Types of molasses and its composition

What is molasses and how does it affect the taste preferences of fish? The product consists of carbohydrates, amides (about 60%) and water. Advantages - some compounds form nitrogen, which affects the softening of many types of fishing bait. It has an attractive aroma, a small dose can cause a big appetite in fish. In fact, fishing molasses does not satisfy hunger, but only enhances it.

The basic ingredients for making are cane, corn, beets. You can also find honey and sugar counterparts. For fishing, beet molasses and cane molasses are used. You can buy a ready-made composition or make it yourself.

Selection Recommendations:

• Sveklovichnaya has proven itself well when catching carp, bream, carp. For beginners, it is recommended to purchase a basic composition with a minimum of additives.
• It can be used as a main ingredient, for example - for instant boilies.
• You need to take a small amount, as needed for one fishing trip. After opening the package and getting oxygen, the fermentation process begins.

When to apply

The relevance of the use of this composition during fishing is high. It is recommended to take it to places with a small bite, where the density of fish is low. It is used for the preparation of animal feed as a binder and an appetite activator. Therefore, it is added to bait or bait.

You can prepare molasses at home for such cases:

• Fishing is planned in the fast current. This ingredient will perform two functions - to lure fish and prevent the bait from quickly disintegrating.
• For carp fishing. This type of fish especially prefers sweet additives in feeders and baits.
• For ponds with stagnant water. The use of molasses will reduce the size of the bait spot and will not affect the transparency of the water at the location of the gear.
• An indispensable ingredient for ice fishing.

However, for the correct use of the activator, you need to know how much and how to add molasses to the original composition. The use of an undiluted product for ponds with a current is impractical, as it will quickly dissolve in water. Components are needed to form a dense composition.

Methods for preparing bait

Making your own molasses is relatively difficult. To do this, you will need sugar-containing products and additional ingredients - fruits, beets, flavors. Ideally, they are mixed, brought to a boil, and after cooling, a homogeneous thick mass is formed. Every fisherman knows how to cook molasses, but not everyone does it at home.

The main problem is that for a certain composition, it is necessary to observe the temperature regime of cooking. The resulting mixture may have a too sweet taste and high density. The first can scare away the fish, the second will complicate mixing with the main bait. Long-term storage will affect the change in its properties.

The base mix may be needed for the following:

• Adding new ingredients. The most popular is coconut flakes. It produces copra molasses with a high viscosity and density.
• Application when cooking corn, millet or pea porridge. It must be prepared in advance and added to the bait after its final cooking. Mix thoroughly for even distribution.
• Grains of peas or corn can be infused in molasses. This will enhance their taste.

As an example, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the video material, which describes in detail the cooking process:
