Snowflake flour is a kind of state bait obtained by processing potatoes, so some people also call it potato flour.
Light-colored, flaky, and poorly viscous, it looks a lot like a snowflake when viewed from a distance hence the name. Its most important qualities are that its specific gravity and material are relatively small, and its atomization ability is very strong, which can reduce the specific gravity of the bait and strengthen the effect of the bait's atomization to lure fish, and it can be paired with any bait without changing the original flavor of the bait. It can be matched with any bait without changing the flavor of the bait. The snowflake powder itself has a poor ability to attach to the hook, so it is only used as an auxiliary bait.
:Precautions for fishing with snowflake powder
1. The lures containing snowflake powder do not necessarily have the same viscosity, and their specific gravity may be different. Most of the earlier commercial lures contained potatoes in their ingredients. Because of this, their hook attachment is not good, as long as the angler throws the hook a little bit more vigorously, the bait is likely to fall down.
2. If you're going to add powder to a pelletized bait, you might as well add some snowflake powder to it. After all, a lot of ingredients will increase in specific gravity after absorbing water. In this case the water layer that attracts fish is concentrated in the middle and lower layers. In this case, there are some drawbacks to catching fish in the upper layers, or fishing for fish in variable layers. After adding some snow powder into it, the situation has been changed. Even if we use a large weight bait, even if the bait sinks to the bottom, the atomized fine particles will spread out in the water. As long as the casting frequency is high when it should be high, it is not a problem to attract fish.
3. Control the proportion of snowflake powder in the bait. Usually, if you mix the bait well and rub it with your hand, there is a kind of slippery and elastic feeling, it probably means that there is snow powder in the bait. A bait with snow powder may look big on the surface, but it will become small when it sinks into the water. When rubbing a bait with snow powder by hand, do not focus on the feel of the bait, but focus on the adhesion performance. This requires us to strictly control the proportion of snow powder.
4, the powder can effectively make up for the shortcomings of the snow powder. We all know that the biggest disadvantage of snow powder is the poor adhesion performance, which is a problem for many people. But sometimes in the snow powder to add about one-fifth of the powder and water, is to make the snow powder atomization and hooked to achieve a relatively balanced state.
