The Bait Trap
Every Year a new wonder bait comes out thats endorsed by anglers who have bucket loads of them given to them..If you apply logic then you would realise that nearly every bait available will produce fish at a given time..These anglers who are promoting a said bait dont tell you how many blanks they have had whilst field testing or how much of the stuff they have had to introduce over time to get the fish feeding..For example if you were to feed sweetcorn at regular intervals into a few pegs over time i would bet that eventually you would catch some good fish on that bait..As already written its how you apply a bait that gets the results..Its far too easy to fall into the bait trap especially when you havent been catching well and question if your bait is any good, when odds on at some point you can guarantee the fish will have eaten the very bait you have been feeding..What bait is good for one man wont be good for another, its just the way its applied that differs..
