Additives, earths, adhesives
Additives in angling are various substances or mixtures that are added to fishing baits or feeds in order to increase their attractiveness and effectiveness in attracting fish. These substances can serve a number of purposes, such as flavouring, colouring, odour, consistency change or nutritional enhancement. Flavourings and flavourings are substances that add different tastes and odours to baits or feeds. For example, fishy, fruity, spicy or other natural or artificial flavours. Colourants can change the colour of baits or feeds. This can help make them more distinguishable in the water. Various nutritional supplements, such as proteins, vitamins, minerals or other nutrients, can increase the nutritional value of the bait. There are also consistency modifiers, substances that can change the consistency of the feed or bait, for example its density or adhesion. This may allow adaptation to a particular fishing site or fish preference. A wide range of additives from manufacturers such as Benzar Mix, Maros Mix and Haldorado are available on the TackleBait website.
The use of additives can help anglers to tailor their baits and lures to increase fish attraction and fishing success. However, it is important to use them correctly for optimum results and to take into account environmental and local fishing regulations.
