“Having your own fishing gear store is great, huh?

Whatever you need, you just grab it off the shelf!”

“Not sure what the host will talk about in detail, but a new version of the boat?

Really looking forward to it!”

As everyone was discussing in the public channel, Yue Feng had already brought over some of the more representative fishing baits.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, I just grabbed some of the baits we have in the store to show and discuss with the actual products!”

“Wow!

Such a pile, a whole storage box full!”

“I see Wild Battle Blue Carp, 918 Wild Battle, Speed Attack No.

2, and Snail Carp, the most commonly used baits!”

“I saw them too, Super Attraction, New Four Seasons, and On the Scale!

@21!”

“Does the host always go so lavish?

Using Marukyu Light Flour, that’s expensive stuff!”

Every angler has their own preferred bait, but because they are in different locations, their focus varies.

For example, those who often fish in the wild generally use baits like Wild Battle Blue Carp 918.

Those who are sensitive to the likes of Four Seasons, On the Scale, @21, and other snowflake-like State Baits are usually deeply involved with fishing or even competitive fishing.

As for those who pay attention to the Marukyu Light Flour, while they verbally tease Yue Feng for being extravagant, in reality, most of them probably use it too, even though the price is heartbreakingly high.

“Alright, let’s settle down and start talking!

Let’s begin with the first type, Basic Bait!

As I mentioned earlier, these baits are generally made from grains, like bran, wheat germ, roasted and ground oilseed cakes, and broken fish feed pellets, etc.

Pure Grains·Sharp!

Super Bait!

Grain Scent Attraction!

Regardless of whether it’s the gold version or the regular version, or any other version, the quality level might vary, but the main ingredients are grain-based basic baits!”

“The second type, State Bait!

There are several kinds.

Some are used to increase the dispersibility of the bait, some to increase its stickiness, some to increase its stretching ability, some to reduce its specific gravity, and some to both lighten it and appropriately increase adhesion to the hook!

Lasi Powder, for example, is quite simple.

When we were kids, the gluten we’d rinse out from flour while catching cicadas—that’s the main ingredient in Lasi Powder, also known as wheat protein!

It comes in various levels of fineness, with 80 mesh and 120 mesh— the coarser the mesh, the longer the strands that are drawn out.

Sticky Flour, there’s some that’s derived from seaweed, and some from corn; their components differ but they all serve to increase the stickiness.

If you find that fish are snatching your bait en route, adding some can increase adhesion!

Snowflake Flour, to put it simply, I personally consider it a broad category.

This stuff is made from potatoes, a byproduct of deep processing of potatoes.

Adding it to bait can increase its dispersal and lighten its weight.

When combined with different crushing and expanding processes, it can achieve specific effects.

For instance, New Four Seasons contains a significant portion of Snowflake Flour, but other additives too.

The result is a bait that’s fluffy, yet can also increase adhesion to some extent.

On the other hand, On the Scale, also containing a good amount of potato flour, makes the bait ingredients peel off in layers when added to the mix.

Potato flour-based baits actually make up a large percentage of Crucian Carp Bait.

If you check the texture of the bait, it generally appears white and flaky.

Baits that require a larger ratio of water when prepared usually fall under this category.

In China, companies like Tianyuan and Hua Clan have done a lot of research on these baits, and their products vary in effectiveness.

After chatting about potato flour baits, let’s talk about Marukyu Light Flour!

Now let’s have an interaction, what do you guys think Marukyu Light Flour is made from?

If you know the answer, you can blow up the public frequency and see if there are any brothers in the live broadcast room who know!”

“I know this one, it’s made through the expansion processing of bean skins!”

“I think I saw somewhere online saying it’s made from the deep processing and pulverizing of straw or something bleached!”

“It’s made from processed tofu dregs!”

“Since it’s called flour, isn’t the raw material the conventional bran?”

The knowledge of the fans in the live broadcast room was commendable; not all of them were novices who knew nothing.

The answers on the public frequency had already basically covered the raw materials of different quality Marukyu Light Flour on the market.

Seeing that the timing was right, Yue Feng cleared his throat and said, “There are still some smart people in the live broadcast room.

The top-quality Marukyu Light Flour is made by quickly expanding the outer husk of the grains under high pressure and then crushing it!

I have also heard an unverified rumor that some flour is made from the expansion of wheat protein, but I don’t know if that’s true or false.

Besides the genuine Marukyu Light Flour, there is also the kind made from bean skins and bean dregs, which can also increase the bait’s dispersibility and reduce its specific gravity, but the effects are not as good as the first type!

The worst quality is various straws, tree barks, wood chips processed into low-quality products.

Such so-called Marukyu Light Flour only mimics the state of the real thing, but fish don’t eat it at all!”

“Wow, I’ve learned something.

Where did the host get all this knowledge from?

You seem so well-read!”

“Well-read +1”

“I’ve always used Marukyu Light Flour; it’s definitely expensive, but the quality is indeed much better!

Domestic Marukyu Light Flour has a long way to go before it can catch up in performance!”

“The person above is also a tycoon; the foreigner’s Light Flour costs dozens of yuan per bag.

I can’t afford it!”

Yue Feng smiled, “If your financial situation allows, it is still better to use the more expensive Marukyu Light Flour.

You really do get what you pay for!

However, as far as I know, Fishing King Li Zhen’s Extreme Flour is already on par with Marukyu in terms of performance!

We should still support domestic products more!”

“After chatting about Marukyu Light Flour, let’s talk about Expanding Powder and kelp fibers.

Expanding Powder is a kind of ‘gel’ made from a copolymer of highly water-absorbent resin (SAP), polyacrylate (potassium or sodium salts), and polyacrylamide.

In its natural state, it is a white powdered crystal that can expand dozens of times upon contact with water.

To be strict, this substance should be considered a chemical raw material, not an edible substance!

Adding it to bait can give the bait a jelly-like light texture.

A few years ago, it was used more frequently in the competitive fishing circle.

It’s good for everyone to know about this stuff, but I don’t recommend using it!

Kelp fibers are a fibrous product made from the deep processing of kelp and other seaweeds.

Chopped and soaked in water before being added to bait, it is commonly used in many places to catch Rohu or Silver Carp.

It’s not necessary for regular fishing situations, so I don’t recommend using it either!”

“After finishing up with the State Bait, the last big topic is Main Attack Bait!

The meaning of Main Attack Bait is quite broad, and many can be included within its range.

For instance, the previously mentioned Snail Carp, Carp Algae, wild feed, Shrimp Powder, Fish Bone Powder, and Silkworm Pupa Powder, which are components in the product called ‘Unrivaled,’ all fall into this category.

Even Red Potato Carp and Jujube Honey Carp can be considered part of Main Attack Bait!”
