Carp Fishing Baits And Secret Flavours And Ingredients Hidden In Common Household Items
By Tim F. Richardson
If you have ever wondered about your bait, what’s in it that makes it ‘work’ then some clues might be right in front of you in household items which you use every day...
Often these especially feature solvents of many kinds, (including water.) Below is a short list of a sample of ingredients of common household items pertinent to how and why your carp bait may work and for many varied different reasons...
Skin cream: Forms of potent salicylates as found naturally in waterside plants for example.
Washing powder: ‘Biologically active’ enzymes from micro-organisms.
Hair gel: Potato starch. Propylene glycol. Glycerine. Limonene.
Body cream: Limonene, Citronellal. Urea! Sodium chloride. Herb extracts, e.g. Borago officinalis seed oil. Forms of alcohol. Propylene glycol. Coconut oil. Sesame seed oil. Evening primrose oil.
Mouthwash: Sodium saccharin.
Washing-up liquid: Surfactants (like lecithins in foods, supplements etc.) Fragrances.
Shampoo: Forms of betaine. (Some are among the most highly stimulatory of carp bait additives.) Almond oil. Ascorbic acid. Citric acid. Propylene glycol. Sodium chloride and other salt forms. Acetate forms. Geraniol. Limonene. Glycerine. Hydrolysed wheat protein. Hydrolysed soy protein. ‘Methyl’ containing substances. Perfumes / fragrances / smells and components, e.g. Amyl cinnamol. Lysine hydrochloride. Forms of alcohol. ‘Organic’ acids. Vegetable amino acids. Hydrolysed keratin.
Conditioner: Hydrolysed silk. Forms of lysine. Vegetable amino acids. Hydrolysed soy protein. Forms of alcohol. Citric acid. Glycerine.
Cleaners: Solvents, fragrances (Smells etc,) e.g. Limonene, citronellal.
Cough syrup: Herbal extracts. Liquorice. Glucose. Sucrose. Citric acid. Lemon oil.
The truth about why so many of these substances and those like them effect a fish to consume your hook is not necessarily a series of ‘scientific absolutes.’ We can base many theories on results conducted in laboratory conditions, but these still do not represent real fishing scenario results. However, here’s a few suggestions:
The carp’s whole body, taste and smell organs in fish are designed and arranged to maximise the resources opportunities and warn of threats to health and well-being and are truly advanced. Fish can detect electrical fields some of which are more favourable and attractive to them. They even detect their environment in part by detecting small water pressure wave changes in the water around them. They have good eyesight although significantly different to ours which is a bonus when chasing other fish. This might surprise some anglers carp are ‘omnivorous’ like us, but can turn predatory like us too. I’ve seen live fry jumping out from the mouth of a hooked and landed carp at a time when small fry were the most abundant food source in a lake at the time for instance.
Their ‘food message’ receptors have evolved to especially be tuned to substances which enable them to survive at the basic level. This includes detecting salinity changes in the water, reproductive hormones and other hormones like stress hormones from a fighting hooked fish released into the water. The basic essentials of their diet differ in particular ways from a human one, but then they are aquatic with totally different predominant natural diets to air breathing mammals for example.
They are especially stimulated and attracted to those substances essential for life. Very high sensitivity to salts, amino acids (building blocks of proteins) even certain compounds given off by a putrefying fish and even urea have proven extremely stimulatory to actual feeding response. Substances like betaine, a wide variety of acids, oils, natural plant extracts (like salicylates, phenols,) etc occur naturally in their environment. There is good reason why fruiting mulberry bushes overhanging a water are a great attraction to carp. Many natural food items have proven to have amino acid profiles which attract carp more than others. Many shelled food items contain betaine so carp are well tuned to find this food having evolved to exploit the life forms around them.
Obviously many flavours, solvents, fragrances, alcohols etc are far more easily detected when highly soluble in water. Some flavours actually taste sour or bitter and their attraction may be more related to smell effects and bait taste-changing and bait pH effects. (The impact of acids of many kinds is very significant for example.) Glycerine is found in some commercial fish farm stimulant mixtures (along with amino acid supplementation, betaine, herbal extracts etc.) It is clear that amino acids which are very important in the diet and may often be in short supply in the diet will have a more stimulatory effect on carp food message receptors. (Lysine, methionine, arginine and alanine for example.)
Of course carp have no hands
