Chicken liver, earthworms, silkworm pupae, cornmeal bait, rice, red worms and other baits can be used to fish for tilapia.
1. Chicken liver
Chicken liver is one of the best baits for fishing tilapia because it has a special fishy smell and spreads quickly in the water, which is very harmful to tilapia. There is a strong temptation. When fishing for tilapia, the chicken liver can be cut into small cubes, and the unshaped chicken liver can also be hooked for fishing.
2. Earthworms
Earthworms are one of the common baits, with a strong smell and soft texture. Tilapia are very interested in the smell of earthworms, and this bait can easily attract their attention and encourage them to bite the hook.
3. Silkworm chrysalis
Silkworm chrysalis is the larval form of silkworm and is widely used as bait in fishing. Silkworm pupae are rich in protein and fat, and release a special smell that is very attractive to tilapia.
4. Cornmeal bait
Cornmeal bait is bait made of corn flour. Its granular and yellow appearance can attract tilapia. Cornmeal bait not only has a taste, but also releases an attractive fragrance, which arouses the desire of tilapia to feed.
5. Rice
Rice is a common food, but it is also a popular bait when fishing for tilapia. Rice has a unique aroma that attracts tilapia to feed. In addition, the texture of rice is softer, making it easier for tilapia to bite.
6. Redworms
Redworms are small molluscs, similar to earthworms, with a rich smell and taste that can attract the attention of tilapia. Their soft texture and red appearance make bloodworms a popular bait.
