First, the selection of snails. The most suitable snail for herring fishing is brittle snail, which is different from snail. The shell of the brittle snail is ovoid or spindle-shaped, the spiral groove is clear and complete, the shell surface is smooth and white, and irregular reddish-brown markings are scattered. Crispy snails are thinner than river snails and are more suitable for fishing black pit herring.
Second, the water consumption of soaking snails. When soaking snails, the amount of water should not be too little, which will easily lead to the death of snails, and the amount of water should not be too much, which will affect the taste absorption effect. Under normal circumstances, put the snails into the bait basin and let the water just pass the snails.
Third, the time to soak snails. Soaking snails should not be too long, otherwise it may lead to snail death, and the time should not be too short. If the time is too short, the smell will not completely enter, which will affect the effect of attracting fish. In general, the time for soaking snails is about 20~30 minutes.
Fourth, a small fishing medicine with good snail soaking effect. In fact, the water soaked in snails can be recycled. Let's take the first-class medicine for catching herring as an example to talk about the whole process of soaking snails. Put 1000g (2kg) snail into a container, add water until it just doesn't pass the snail, then add 1ml odor diffuser, 3ml polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 3ml dopa salt and 1top fish protein, stir evenly, and let it stand for 20-30 minutes, then it can be used for nesting and hooking.
