Nowadays, fishing has changed a lot. Less and less people fish to feed their families. This process has become a pleasure, entertainment, and quite expensive. There are a huge number of devices that should help the fisherman. And often you can hear the opinion that artificial baits and bait are the best. However, the fish itself has not changed. And she, like many years ago, loves natural products. Such, for example, as a hammock for fishing.
What it is
Mamalyga is called cornmeal porridge, which is included in the national cuisine of some peoples, for example, Moldavians and Romanians. It is prepared with various additives, and this product turns out to be very tasty and healthy. And since fish are also not indifferent to unusual tastes, mamaliga has long been used for fishing. Only in this case is it prepared a little differently.
What is it used for?
Such porridge should be soft and plastic. Unlike purchased pasta or other cereal (for example, pearl barley), the hammock for fishing is quite dense and holds well on the hook. It is very important to close the hook completely, because such a smart and careful fish, like carp, like to try and suck the bait first before swallowing it. The task of the nozzle is to attract fish and not frighten off prey ahead of time. When casting, such porridge is also more reliable to stay on the hook. You can use mamalyga when fishing on the spring. Then, due to the elastic consistency, it will not stretch in water for a long time.
Cooking
Many experienced fishermen have their own signature recipe for making mamalyga. But they also advise trying new additives and technologies. Because the taste of fish can change. Such fish as crucian carp, bream, and carp well peck at mamalyga. How to make mamalyga for fishing? It will be based on cornmeal. For example, take two glasses of this product, mix with two glasses of ordinary wheat flour. Then add water to the mixture, stirring. It should be so much that the dough was liquid, as for cooking ordinary pancakes. Then you need to cook this dough. To do this, it is best placed in a film, food sleeve or just a plastic bag. Then in a large saucepan bring the water to a boil, lower the bag there so that it is completely in the water. And then mamalyga for fishing boils for 30-40 minutes. Then they turn off the fire and allow mamalyga to cool right in the water. After that, the bag is taken out of the water and taken with you for fishing. Already on the pond, the package is opened, small pieces are nipped off and fixed on a hook. This is best done with wet hands. It is also advised to roll such a bait in the flavor. For example, in aniseed oil, crushed garlic (spring). In summer, fish usually prefers vegetable odors, for example, strawberries are suitable.
Many fishermen use mamalyga ( they know the recipe for fishing well) along with other bait. The more diverse the nozzle, the more likely the fisherman to attract prey and catch it on a hook. The taste of fish can change not only at different times of the year, but also depending on pressure, wind direction, humidity. Therefore, mamalyga, as bait is simple, inexpensive, but quite diverse, remains popular.
