After winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower every day. It is not easy to get the fish hooked when fishing in the wild at low temperature. In winter, in order to improve the catch rate of crucian carp, people often use fresh red worm bait, which is rich in animal protein and has great attraction to crucian carp. So how to make red worm bait?

Species of red worm bait

Red worm bait is generally divided into pure worm bait and mixed bait. The pure worm bait directly uses red worms as bait, and the mixed bait is mainly red worms, mixed with other commercial bait. There are two main kinds of red worms sold in the market. A red bug has a strong body and a blue-black head. Its strength and elasticity are great, and it is more suitable for hook fishing. Another kind of red worm has a black head, but it is slender and soft, and it is not resistant to small fish bites. Suitable for red worm bait.

Pure red worm bait

Pure red worm bait directly hooks red worms, similar to hanging earthworms. The specific method is to directly pierce the head of the red worm with the tail of the fishhook. If you want to catch small crucian carp, hang a single red worm. When hanging red worms, be careful not to let them lose their fluids. You can first make a hole in the head of the red worm with a fish hook and squeeze out the liquid in the head before hanging it. If you are fishing in a culture pond or big carp, before preparing the hook, you need to tie a line into a slipknot, then select a few slender red worms and put them directly in the middle of the slipknot, then tie them together, and finally tie this small bundle of red worms to the hook.

Mixed red worm bait

One of the most commonly used mixed bait, the specific method is: first, add water to the common commercial bait, then add red worms to make the rubbing bait, and finally hang the prepared bait directly on the hook. Or use bait containing wire drawing powder or red shellac and red worm as bait, and then hang the prepared bait on the hook. The advantage of rubbing bait is that underwater atomization is slow, and it can wait until the big fish are hooked, which is suitable for catching big fish. The advantage of bait pulling is that red worms are relatively complete, easy to disperse, and have good atomization effect, which is very attractive to fish.

Tips for red worm bait

When catching crucian carp with red worms, try to keep the hooked red worms alive, because live bait is more attractive to fish. When the fish mouth is not very good, you can add a little medicine to enhance the lure effect of the red worm bait. When fishing with a fishing rod, it is suggested to choose a float with less lead according to the water situation and match the line group according to the length of the fishing rod.
