Nest material, anglers know its importance, and even have: a good "nest" is equal to a good catch.
However, the production, collocation and use of nest materials are the fundamental determinants of the following common problems:
Why can't you lure fish when you hit the nest?
Can fish lure but can't keep fish?
How come it's all trash fish?
Why stop when there is a nest?
If these problems are not solved and not understood, there will be no good catches. In this article, we will analyze the above problems through the three major indicators of nest material: sinking, tiling, suspension, and based on the actual environment and fish conditions - from the perspective of "material selection".

In today's various "atomized" states, the "bottoming" of bait and nest materials is ignored by many anglers. In fact, as far as nest materials are concerned, the performance of the sinking bottom is the first major indicator.
Fish retention effect
Keeping the fish, as the name suggests, is to leave the fish in the nest, and it should be long enough. At this time, the sinking performance of the nest material is very important, because the nest material that does not move with the water flow at the bottom is considered to be able to retain fish for a long time. There are actually a lot of nest materials with good sinking, as long as the bait with enough density is actually in this category.
For example, corn, wheat grains, wine rice, submerged water particles and other large particle size or higher density materials are the first choice for our conventional homemade nest materials to highlight the "sinking bottom".
Lure the fish to the bottom
The good sedimentation performance of the nest material can not only leave the fish on the bottom, but also have the effect of luring the fish to the bottom. For example, in the "nest bait integration" powder bait fishing, the bait with some large particles with good bottoming performance, wine rice and other materials, can obviously play a "small in the big", lure the fish to the bottom, assist in the fish retention effect.
Resistant to water disturbances
A big "fear" of nest material is that it easily drifts away with the current, which is common in some fishing spots with large water flow, wild fishing environments, and even large slopes. At this time, it is more necessary to highlight the sinking of the nest material. Common usage in addition to corn, wine rice and other large grains of food bait, there will even be a counterweight of large pieces of bean cake, bran cake, rapeseed cake and other materials - the purpose is obvious, we are to meet the effect of luring fish and retaining fish through "sinking bottom".
Compared with the previous "bottom-sinking nature", the "flatness" of the nest material is also a problem that many anglers ignore, and even never pay attention to it.
What is nest material "tiling"?
"Tilability" refers to the area of the nest under the water after making the nest and beating the nest for a certain period of time. It can also be understood as the actual area of the nest material effectively covering the bottom of the water. Abstract understanding, we can look at the sinking of the nest material as thickness, and the flatness as the length and width. Many anglers have the experience of fishing on the "edge of the nest", which is the bottom edge of the nest. Fish find and come, first probing and baiting at the edge of the nest, which is a common behavior of many animals.
For example, cats, dogs, and even ants, when they find a pool of food on the ground, also start eating from the edge. For example, some slippery fish and frightened fish are not suitable for large nests, homemade or use nest materials only with materials with good bottoming and poor flatness, one of the principles, there is this aspect.
The fish-catching effect of "tiling"
Tiling represents the scattering of nest material and the area covering the bottom of the water, which is the area of the bottom fish. Especially when the water is wide and the fish is thin, this "large area nest material" will have obvious fish attraction advantages.
Note: If the density of the target fish is high, it is not suitable for the nest area to be too large, at this time, the fish are too scattered, often more than worth the loss.
"Tiled" fish retention effect
The area of the nest is large enough, and when the fish head is small and the fish body is larger, it will show a long-term retention of fish. For example, a large enough nest area is equivalent to promoting the habitat of multiple fish species, multiple fish bodies, especially large fish, which is relatively difficult to drive away from each other, which can alleviate the frying nest of "fish frightening fish".
Note: If the density of the fish is higher, this will also cause the fish to disperse, but the "fish mouth" will be slow. Coupled with the large number of people and noisy people on the shore, it will form a "fish far shore" and the phenomenon of delaying in eating bait will occur.
Application strategies for homemade and matched nest materials
1, it is generally recommended to select materials for "composite type". The effective tiling of nest materials is often achieved by multi-material combinations. For example, bait, wine rice, crushed particles, puffed granules, grain materials, fibrous by-products, etc. with different particle sizes and densities are matched to achieve the effective tiling effect of nest materials.
2, the use of "big fit" nest material effect. This kind of nest material will form a large particle with good sedimentation in the middle of the nest underwater, and it is surrounded by relatively small density of powder bait tiles, and then outside is a fibrous material - the effect of this "combination" form, naturally needless to say. Especially in places where the water is wide and the fish is scarce, it is possible to take into account both size and size. This can also be reflected: there are fewer fish, we must highlight the long-term "temptation", followed by "stay and fishing"; more fish, we will mainly stay and fish more.
3. Actual operation. A certain frequency and amount of bait to draw nests, make up nests, under the premise of nest material self-control and collocation satisfaction, in fact, the meaning is to ensure the thickness and area of nest material, which in many fish situations, is a necessary step to continue to lure fish and increase fish retention.
4. "Overlay" application. For example, in some serious odorous bottom environments (note that the real stinky bottom is often: toxic gas production, or the bottom of the accumulation of enough harmful substances to fish), harmful dead algae accumulation of the bottom of the water, through the large nest of underwater cover, is often an effective method. When handled properly, it will be obvious that "no bottom" fish will start to bait down the bottom – but be careful that this method is suitable for longer periods of time or overnight use. Because it is more common for such short-term nest material deposition and agitation underwater, it will increase the emission of toxic gases and the suspension of algae, and in the early stage, it will form the effect of "repelling fish".
The suspension of nest material is simply the effect of particles scattered in the nest material water and the time phenomenon of suspension and floating. A large part of this is the "atomization" often said in the fishing industry, but "atomization" is actually very general, falling off, disintegrating, dissolving, levitating, etc., which is collectively called "atomization" by too many people, but it loses the meaning of the noun.
The suspension performance of the nest material first shows the effect of attracting fish. Some materials suspend, sink and rise slowly, and for small fish, filter-feeding fish, especially many raw fish, and farmed fish, such suspension performance is the guarantee of attracting fish and retaining fish. The "stay" here is not only a "stay" that stimulates raw fish and small fish to grab food, but also has the meaning of constantly attracting new fish (fish luring fish).
Note: Under the premise of low water temperature, lean water quality, wide water, small and medium large, slippery fish, fishing for non-filtered fish, etc., the "suspension" of nest material is strictly controlled and divided. At this time, self-made and matched nest materials, on the contrary, it is necessary to eliminate the suspension of small particle sizes in the form of white smoke, and even deliberately reduce the suspension performance of nest materials and bait. Otherwise, there will be the phenomenon of "the more you nest, the less fish there is", "you can't beat the nest here", and "stop when you hit the nest".
The sinking, suspension, and tile effect of nest material, many people will understand abstractly, which is first caused by some misleading fishing videos and pictures, do not understand? So let's give an example:
Anglers know the merchant or some bait video that will "demonstrate" the atomization status and effect of the bait in the drift bucket. Is this really the effect of "seeing is believing" that embodies the bottoming, layering, and suspension? Wrong - this is the phenomenon of the "barrel wall" circled, that is, the phenomenon of bait in a bottled body of water.
Still don't understand? Then let's come to a jar of Eight Treasures Porridge - Eight Treasures Porridge In the glass, you see various ingredients and thickness, viscosity, suspension... Looks pretty awesome, right? Pour the eight treasure porridge into the pool and try again, but it is the bottom, the rice grains are free, and even many ingredients spread with the flow of water、、、 and it is not the effect and appearance of the glass at all!
The sedimentation, tiling and suspension of the nest material are important physical indicators of the nest material, and it is also the three points that we must pay attention to when making and using the nest material. This article still reflects how to use bait for the purpose of using bait - fish and water conditions, is the necessary premise of self-control, ingredients, nesting, bait, medicine, fishing industry those without premise let you see the "atomization state", "smell the taste" of the statement, but only marketing means or naked misleading ~
If you have more problems with bait and additives, you can pay attention to the "Daqi Old Cow", I will be based on more than 10 years of R & D experience in the industry and your exchange, and will remind the fishing industry of some rumors and misunderstandings, looking forward to your reply ~
