Swim bread

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As swimming bread when is fishing a bait called, floating on the water surface. Usually, a part of a dry, hard roll or the like is used for this and attached to a simple fish hook . The target fish picks up the bait including the hook and ideally gets caught in it.

Fishing for swim bread can be an extremely simple, yet effective method to e.g. B. to fish for carp visible on the water surface . One of the reasons for this is that, apart from the fishing line , there are often no other utensils near the bait that could unsettle the target fish. The swimming bread is the simple alternative to the pop-up boilie and therefore, apart from the cost advantage compared to the boilie, has the positive property of being easy and quick to assemble by simply skewing it on a hook. This suggests that another benefit is the minimal use of accessories for fishing with this method. Usually a simple rod is sufficientwith fishing line and a hook, the size of which depends on the desired target fish. The floating bait slowly dissolves in the water, which has the advantage of a cloud of food that forms. An advanced method is e.g. B. the additional attachment of a weight to the fishing line. This ensures that the bait always remains in the same position and does not drift away undesirably by wind.

However, the disadvantage of fishing with swimming bread is that the bait does not last very long on the hook and therefore has to be constantly replaced, especially if other small fish attack it. In most cases it is therefore unclear whether the hook is still on the bait or not. When ejecting the roll, it is usually necessary to submerge it in the water beforehand so that the necessary weight is achieved to fly far enough. There is another disadvantage: The bait can fall off when it is cast due to previous moistening and thus cost time and nerves.
