  3. The sting of the hook pierces the skin of the thickened part of the grain. The bait hangs completely, and the hook remains open by 65-75%. Experts recommend using this type of bait for catching large fish (more than 1 kg), "fry" can easily steal a treat.

The variation of planting one grain is suitable for catching small specimens up to 1.5 kg (crucian carp, roach, rudd, carp).

Several grains

Planting several grains is aimed at catching large specimens (over 1.5 kg). The bait is a sequence of several tightly threaded corn, a kind of garland. Experts recommend choosing flat grains that are easily pierced in the middle.

Through the middle of the grain, grains are placed on the hook (no more than 6-8 pieces), and the skin of the last link slightly covers the point. The delicacy is evenly distributed over the clasp area. Hanging grasses in a garland makes the bait look natural, which attracts fish.

Determining the “head” of a maggot is simple, in the thickened part of the body, there are horizontally located points resembling eyes.
  • Maggots are pushed to the shank of the hook. Corn grains are planted on the pocket (the number of grains depends on the size of the hook). The string should penetrate only the skin of the thickened part of the corn.

Corn and maggot are distributed in such a way that the baits do not overlap each other.
