There are many baits for grass carp fishing, and in addition to the most common corn, wheat and reeds, fruits such as mulberries, fruits, and grapes can also be used.
However, among the people, there are two "magic baits" for grass carp fishing, and I believe that fishing friends must have heard of it, or seen it in some short videos and articles on the Internet.
Let's not go around the bend, these two magic baits are "grasshopper" and "pumpkin vine".
So what is the real effect of these two "magic bait"? Is it a miracle or is it a wasted name? If you are interested, please read on to hear what I think.
Let's talk about the conclusion first, some fishing friends in the province complained that they didn't know what they were talking about in the end. It is certain that grasshoppers and pumpkin vines are effective in fishing grass carp, especially pumpkin vines, which can not only hook but also make nests.
But it is impossible to say "magic bait", fishing has never had a magic bait, even if there is a relatively prominent bait, it is limited to a certain body of water, a certain period of time, in short, under certain specific conditions!
For example, I shared "mulberry fruit fishing grass carp" before, and those who still have the impression should remember that I clearly pointed out the conditions of use in the article.
That is, the fishing spot must have a mulberry tree, and the mulberry tree must also grow at the water's edge, and make sure that the mulberry fruit is ripe and can fall into the water for the fish to eat, so that it is useful to use mulberry hooks. If you don't have mulberry trees at the fishing spot and you bought some from the market to use, you might as well hang corn!
The same is true for fruit formation, even with reed leaves and reed cores.
It's not that these foods are delicious, and it's not because they are often eaten and grass carp are not wary of it, but the main thing is that they can find food in this place every day, and they will come regularly, which is less of a process for us to attract fish.
Returning to the bait itself, if you want pumpkin vines and grasshoppers to have outstanding results in grass carp fishing, you must also meet the condition that "grass carp can often eat".
So if you play with the black pit, the effect of these two baits is not good, and the effect of playing with the reservoir is also average.
Grasshoppers may be slightly better when fishing in the reservoir, after all, it is a live bait, the animal protein content is relatively high, and the body is green, which is more similar to the food that grass carp often eats, and this kind of insect runs around and falls into the water to be eaten by grass carp.
I would like to add here: many people think that grass carp is vegetarian and do not eat meat, and doubt the effect of grasshoppers.
In fact, most freshwater fish are omnivorous, and grass carp is of course an omnivorous fish, so they eat both meat and vegetables, especially small grass carp in order to grow up quickly, in fact, they are all based on meat bait.
If you think about it, the grass carp even eats its own, what else does it dare not eat!
In fact, pumpkin vines and grasshoppers are really good to use in those ponds in the countryside, because there are many fields in the countryside, so grasshoppers and pumpkin vines can be seen everywhere, and the probability of fish eating is very large, and they are naturally used to eating after a long time.
However, my personal suggestion is: forget about grasshoppers, after all, it is not easy to catch one, especially in summer with such a high temperature, it is very likely that the grasshopper will not catch itself first and suffer from heat stroke!
Pumpkin vines are worth a try, whether it is a domestic pond or a wild pond that has been abandoned for a long time. And in my experience, even if there is no pumpkin vine near the pond, we can still catch grass carp with its hook, provided that the fish are in the nest!
Even if the grasshopper is to be used, there is nothing to say, just grab it and pierce it directly with a hook to expose the tip of the hook, or a pumpkin vine.
Pumpkin vines are best to use young shoots, this temptation is stronger, or pumpkin flowers can also be used, pumpkin flowers are best unopened buds, small individuals can be directly hooked, if the buds are relatively large, do not hang the whole, take a small petal down and fold it and then hook it.
No matter what kind of bait, you can fish the bottom and float, and the grass carp will look for food to eat in the whole water layer.
There is no skill at all with the hook, the only thing to pay attention to is to use a larger hook, and the hook tip should be exposed after hanging.
The key to hooking up with this kind of bait (including corn and wheat) is to lure fish, if there are no fish in the nest, then no bait will work!
However, most of the ponds in the countryside are not very large and deep, and it is relatively not so difficult to lure fish, for example, we use pumpkin flowers for fishing, and pumpkin vines can be used for nesting.
The pumpkin vines used for nesting are not so particular, and the older ones are fine, just get a few more and tie them with ropes and tie them with stones and throw them into the fishing spot. It is this kind of pure natural bait that is very slow, as little as one hour, as much as two or three hours, and everyone must have this patience to guard.
