For which fish is pea bait suitable?
Peas for fishing help to catch large fish, including bream, carp, ide and carp. Pea bait also attracts smaller fish: roach, silver bream, chub, crucian carp. Peas are also used as bait, because they are well attached to the hook and rarely fly off during frequent casts.
Peas for feeding crucian carp are used in most recipes; they are more popular than bread crumbs, makukha, etc.
If fresh grains are not available, you can use pea cereal or canned peas. There is no point in counting on the catch, using dry peas in solid form; they must be soaked and boiled in advance.
Peas have been used for fishing since ancient times.
Which variety is better to choose for bait?
The variety of peas directly depends on the method, style of fishing and the reservoir. If it is used as bait on a hook, whole grains must be used. According to the observations of experienced fishermen, it is better to take wrinkled peas for bait, and smooth varieties should be avoided due to excessive boiliness.
If whole peas are used when fishing for peas, then cereals with refined grains are used when preparing bait. Crushed grains are used in the process of making mastyrka - this is a catchable bait, often used for catching large fish. Mastyrka is prepared with the addition of other cereals, we recommend adding millet, semolina, corn, etc. It is also permissible to use peas when fishing with a feeder; the feeder is filled with the mixture with peas. Fishing with a feeder is most effective for hunting bream.
If fresh peas are used, they require minimal cooking, and dry peas must be soaked first. Without lengthy cooking, canned peas are also used as bait. To reduce cooking time or if it is not possible to obtain fresh grains, frozen peas are used.
Methods for preparing peas for bait
Every angler with a lot of “experience” has his own recipes, let’s take some of the most popular, catchy and proven recipes.
Cooking peas is not difficult
A mixture of pea and wheat flour
The simplest bait recipe will take about 1 hour.
Cooking method:
- Mix both types of flour and use them in equal proportions.
- We add flavorings to the mixture, leaving the choice to the discretion of the fisherman.
- Add a little water, reaching a consistency at which you can throw the mixture manually, using a slingshot. It’s easy to test yourself on a spoon; take a heaping mixture of it and observe the behavior of the bait. Has it started to drain? - It means it’s too liquid, add flour. Is it crumbling and not holding together? - Add more water.
- We put the whole mixture into a bag, tie it with thread and put it in a pan and cook for half an hour.
Recipe with wheat flour
Before preparing the bait according to the recipe, we prepare yellow peas (green are also suitable, but yellow is better), wheat flour, thread and bags.
The first thing you need to do is choose the right peas for fishing
Cooking process:
- Cook pea porridge in a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part peas. Minimum cooking time – from 1 hour. For further cooking, it is important to boil the peas well to obtain a dense, homogeneous mass. Drain off excess water.
- Add flour to the mixture 0.5 to 1 part peas. If the consistency is not thick enough, add more flour and mix everything well.
- Add flavorings to the mixture. It is difficult to guess the taste preferences of fish in a pond. If you don’t want to rely too much on luck, divide the bait into 2 parts and mix it with different flavors.
- Add water, the mixture should be thick, but not too thick. The best consistency resembles homemade sour cream.
- Pour the mixture into a bag, so as not to break through, it’s better to use 2-3 bags. We tie them tightly and put them in a pan with cool water. Set the container on gas and cook for half an hour. It is better not to immediately remove the bag of bait, but to leave it in the water for a while.
The output is porridge, similar in consistency to plasticine. It can be easily divided into pieces with any sharp object and thrown into the water. This mixture is convenient to use as bait on a hook.
Preparing mastyrka
The popularity of this recipe goes far beyond Russia and the CIS, because the technique is effective for most omnivorous fish species. Individual aspects of preparation differ; they are selected depending on fishing conditions, the type of fish in the reservoir, their size and taste preferences.
A simple and easy recipe is mastyrka from a mixture of various cereals. The bait is based on peas, millet (if unavailable, we replace it with wheat cereal), semolina, pearl barley and corn. The mixture works better after adding flavors: hemp, vanilla, etc.
How to prepare effective pea bait:
- We can use any peas, but be sure to wash them and let them soak. To soften the grains, you will need to soak them for 10-15 hours, depending on the variety. Soaking is recommended for grains only; fresh, canned and frozen peas do not require preparation.
- We cook peas in a saucepan, the approximate proportion for cooking in water is 1 to 2. We recommend buying ground, split peas for bait, because after cooking they will still have to be passed through a meat grinder. Since it takes different times to cook peas for bait (depending on the length of soaking and the variety), it is better to focus not on time, but on consistency. Complementary foods should be similar to pea porridge, a little runny.
- Without wasting time in the process of cooking the peas, simultaneously boil the pearl barley and corn. Fish go better on young corn. Without wasting time, immediately soak the millet (wheat).
- Now let's prepare the semolina. Add vanilla, hemp, and commercial flavorings are also suitable.
- In order to properly cook peas, by the time they acquire the desired consistency, all the additional ingredients of the mastyrka must be ready. Pour the rest of the bait components into the pea porridge, except semolina. We add it last, so we can preserve the smell from the flavorings. The role of semolina is reduced to adding density to the mixture. Thick bait is convenient to use during long casts. It is better to add semolina taking into account the characteristics of the fishing spot. The mastyrka should be thick, tight and well mixed.
- Leave the mixture to cool, and then form balls from them. It is better to make medium-sized balls when fishing in still waters, and large ones when fishing in rivers with a current.
When preparing the mixture, it is important to stir the grains regularly, since cooking peas for bait without stirring means getting a burnt and unusable mixture.
How to make pea bait correctly
Peas are often used as a basis for feeding crucian carp. In this case, crushed grains are used, which are mixed with various cereals. The output is a mixture with the consistency of plasticine, which makes it easy to separate it into pieces and throw it into water. Additionally, such porridge can be used as bait.
Important! Wrinkled green peas do not require pre-soaking
—
Cooking for about 3 hours is sufficient.
What can I add?
The most famous method of preparing bait is mastyrka, the recipe for which is widely known in many parts of the world, although it may vary somewhat depending on fishing conditions (type of fish, its size, taste preferences). The simplest and most catchy mastyrka includes a mixture of peas and various cereals, such as millet or wheat groats, semolina, corn, pearl barley and others. Additionally, various flavorings (hemp, vanillin and others) may be provided under the cooking conditions.
The cooking recipe includes several steps:
- Any type of pea can be used, but unless they are fresh, canned or frozen, they will require pre-soaking for at least 10 hours.
- The legumes are placed in a saucepan and filled with water in a ratio of 1:2. Depending on the quantity and the selected variety, the cooking time may vary slightly, and therefore the degree of readiness is best determined by appearance - the resulting bait should look like pea porridge with a liquid consistency. In order to slightly reduce the cooking time, it is initially better to opt for ground or chopped grains (in the end, they will still need to be passed through a meat grinder).
- While the peas are being prepared, the millet is soaked, and pearl barley porridge and corn are boiled (in a ratio of 2 parts of peas and 1 part of additional ingredients).
- Various flavorings are added to dry semolina.
- When the pea porridge reaches readiness, barley and corn are added to it, passed through a meat grinder and only after that semolina is added. Its main role is to give the mixture the desired consistency (the bait should be thick and tight).
- After cooling, make balls. Their size depends on the fishing conditions - in still water medium sizes are sufficient, in the presence of a current - large ones. At the same time, correctly selected sizes will prevent the balls from dissolving in water.
How to cook peas for crucian carp
Catching crucian carp is a fascinating activity. Moreover, crucian carp is widespread and ubiquitous, unpretentious to environmental conditions and omnivorous. Plus, crucian carp reaches impressive sizes and can become a magnificent trophy even for an experienced and sophisticated fisherman.
But speaking about the omnivorousness and unpretentiousness of crucian carp, we must not forget how capricious and finicky it can sometimes be. It would seem that there are about a dozen baits and baits, everything is fresh, aromatic and should whet the appetite of this fat guy. But alas. There are no bites, although it is known for sure about the presence of a fishing object in the reservoir or even the fishing place itself. What is this? Cunning? Caprice? Weather influences?
I won’t lie if I say that I have no idea why crucian carp is so often capricious and responds to the most seemingly unthinkable and unexpected baits. But there is another crucian carp. Gourmet and glutton. This one almost always bites on one single bait - pea porridge.
Method for preparing pea porridge
Actually, we cook the peas until they become mushy. This is the main thing, but it is there. of course, and but. How to do this so that the porridge does not burn while it is “ready”?
Very simple. Using a large pan of boiling water, place a smaller pan so that the bottom of the small pan does not touch the bottom of the large one. In the small one there are peas in the form in which they are usually put on gas. that is, flooded with water. Cover the smaller pan with a lid and steam until the peas are completely boiled. The first stage has been successfully completed. This is called a water bath.
Next, wipe the finished porridge through a colander. To do this, you can use a regular potato masher, in other words, a potato masher. Mix the porridge obtained as a result of this kneading with a small amount of semolina. Semolina is needed to thicken the porridge. But there is one important nuance: there should be enough semolina so that the finished porridge slightly sticks to your hands. By morning, the porridge, placed in the refrigerator in a plastic bag, will reach the consistency necessary for successful fishing.
Pea porridge for carp
As they say, pea porridge is “sharpened” specifically for carp and carp.
Ingredients
- 800 grams of dry peas.
- 400 grams of semolina.
- 50 grams of ground roasted seeds.
- A teaspoon of salt.
- A teaspoon of soda.
- A tablespoon of unrefined sunflower oil.
Recipe
- Cook the peas until completely softened.
- When the pea porridge has cooled a little, add semolina little by little and stir constantly.
- Add seeds.
Please note that this porridge is the most perishable and cannot be stored for more than 12 hours .
As an alternative to roasted seeds, you can use roasted and ground peanuts, or 5-7 g of strong roasted ground coffee. The smell of coffee should be barely noticeable and not overpower the smell of freshly brewed peas. And the option of adding coffee as a flavoring is not suitable for boiled young peas.
If you want to use it for boilies, then add 10-15 fresh chicken eggs.
Bait and bait supply
In general, if you make allowances for some of the features of this type of fishing, then everything is simple. Firstly, we remember the law: what we feed is what we catch. In our case, everything is exactly the opposite. What do we catch? That's what we try to feed. We cook peas for bait in almost the same way. just like we cooked it to make porridge for fishing, but slightly, so to speak, undercooked. This is done so that our bait still contains whole peas or their halves. Part of the porridge, therefore, when it gets into the water, will turn into a cloud of turbidity, and part will settle in the form of feeding grains. We do not add anything to the finished peas. except, perhaps, a small amount of the same semolina, for dregs.
When fishing, it doesn’t matter whether we fish with a float or a feeder, we throw our thin and slightly watery bait into the fishing spot like this. to create a rich and dense bait spot. We throw it without regret - after all, most of it is dregs, and the crucian carp will not eat it and will not get enough of it, it will only “work up” its appetite.
You can experiment with one very interesting addition to porridge - powdered milk for babies. The main thing is to choose something simple, without special additives, etc. We add the mixture to the porridge immediately before feeding, because it sours very quickly, especially in the heat.
Having tried this additive for the first time, I was sure that I would scare away all the fish, but within an hour the cage had become heavier by a good kilogram of good crucian carp, and the subsequent hours were generally remembered vaguely. I fished and fished and fished... After four hours of fishing I found an almost full cage in the water. I had to think about the catch rate and reel in my fishing rods. After this, if you plan to go crucian fishing, you always have powdered baby milk with you. It worked in different ways, sometimes better, sometimes worse. I will say one thing: I never scared the fish away, just the opposite.
Hooking
To properly place peas on a hook, follow these tips:
- Thread both halves of the bob through. You should not pierce it lengthwise; the hook is inserted only across the halves.
- The hook should not be threaded at an angle or between the halves. The nozzle will immediately fly off when it hits the water or even during the casting process.
- It is possible to plant several peas, depending on the size of the hook.
- The hook tip is left open. Otherwise, the likelihood of successful hooking is reduced.
Fishing principles: crucian carp bite and gear features
Well. let's say. the reader will say, I made the bait of the required density, I use the most sensitive tackle, then what? There are no bites. and the hook is always empty.
Next, you should understand the peculiarities of biting crucian carp. You should not expect any pull to the side or laying out of the float. Most often, a bite means the float rises a few centimeters. If there is no bite at this moment, the hook turns out to be empty. It is especially difficult to catch in a wave, even a small one.
Most anglers I know who successfully fish with porridge use fairly long spindle-shaped floats with antennas, painted with bright transverse stripes. The brighter and more contrasting the stripes, the greater the visibility, and, therefore, the more bites will be noticed and implemented.
The float can be unloaded at your own discretion, but you should remember. that fishing in the vast majority of cases occurs from the bottom. That is, nothing bad will happen if the sinker is slightly heavier than the carrying capacity of the float. The main thing is that it is sliding and creates a minimum of resistance when biting carefully.
There are two leashes on one fishing rod. One is about five centimeters long, the other is slightly longer - five to seven centimeters. This is convenient when crucian carp is capricious and its preferences can change within a few hours.
Now the best bait is peas, and after an hour and a half, give him semolina. In addition, two hooks on one tackle increase its effectiveness. Even if the bait from one hook is unnoticeably eaten or torn off during casting, the other one will protect it.
For myself, I came up with equipment that works on a different principle. Any bite, be it a bite “on the rise” or a pull to the side, leads to the fact that the float hides under water. It's very simple and... I don't think it was invented by me. But I haven’t seen this myself, and therefore we can say that I came up with it for specific fishing conditions.
A fairly large lead olive, two grams more than what is required for proper loading of the float, slides freely along the fishing line, below the olive there is a breaker bead, a swivel, and heads with hooks.
Everything was conceived in such a way that the float, due to the slipping of the fishing line through the olive, would always, even if it bites “on the rise”, would be immersed in the water. The olive lies motionless on the bottom, without alerting the fish. There are no restrictions on the olive.
With such gear, the bite is more visible - it’s not a rise of a few centimeters, but a sinking. Even on a wave it is easier to notice it in time. Pea porridge is a powerful assistant in the hunt for capricious crucian carp. The main thing is to approach fishing consciously and experiment more, choosing exactly what you want. which will give a stable result.

Pea bait for crucian carp
But speaking about the omnivorousness and unpretentiousness of crucian carp, we must not forget how capricious and finicky it can sometimes be. It would seem that there are about a dozen baits and baits, everything is fresh, aromatic and should whet the appetite of this fat guy. But alas.

I won’t lie if I say that I have no idea why crucian carp is so often capricious and responds to the most seemingly unthinkable and unexpected baits. But there is another crucian carp. Gourmet and glutton. This one almost always bites on one single bait - pea porridge.
mandula attachment (pea porridge)
Fishermen call mandula the pea porridge used for bait . The Mandula is an excellent bait for catching most carp fish. Bream and silver bream are most often caught on the mandula using a ring and a donka, using undercuts. Roach, crucian carp, tench, and mandula pea porridge are caught mainly with float and bottom fishing rods. The mandula shows good results as a bait when fishing for carp and carp.
method of preparing pea porridge “mandula” for attachment
Pour 500 grams of dry peas into a saucepan. Pour water so that it covers the peas by 3-4 centimeters. Add a teaspoon each of salt and soda. Leave to soak for at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours). Then put on fire and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, for at least 1.5 hours. The peas should become soft and begin to fall apart. Turn off the heat and mash the peas with a masher. Pour 250 grams of semolina into the pan, mix thoroughly, let cool. Remove the mixture from the pan onto the table. Add another 250 grams of semolina and a tablespoon of unrefined sunflower oil. Knead well. That's it, the mandula pea porridge is ready for attachment.
You can increase or decrease the volume of components in the appropriate proportion. For experimental purposes, instead of sunflower oil, you can add anise or hemp oil to better attract fish.
mandula - other ways to prepare pea porridge for attachment
There is also an old recipe for making Volga mandula, which few people know about. It is still kept secret by hereditary fishermen and passed on from generation to generation. Unlike ordinary mandula, chago wood mushroom is added to the Volga mandula. It can be fresh or dried. Chago pieces are placed in a pan before soaking the peas, and taken out when they are cooked. There is no need to add oil so as not to interrupt the smell of the mushroom. This type of mandula is used when catching bream in the current using a bottom “ring” fishing rod.
Occasionally, stores sell pea powder (the same is included in the officer's dry ration kit). It's even easier to use - no grinding required. However, the pea mandula made from it is less fragrant. But for preparing bait, pea powder is just right.
If you don’t have time to soak and cook peas for a long time, you can grind them into powder with a coffee grinder or mill. There is no need to soak at all, and it cooks much faster.
bait for fishing with pea porridge mandula.
Pour the peas into a saucepan, pour water 10 centimeters above them, soak, and cook. When the peas are cooked, mash them, add oatmeal (rolled oats) or millet with a mass equal to the peas, cook until tender. Cool. Add enough breadcrumbs to form a dense mass. This bait is poured into the feeder when fishing with a mandula.
Pea porridge for roaches

Option-2
, two medium chago mushrooms are placed in the same pan . This mushroom is taken both fresh and dried. After cooking the peas, the mushroom is removed.
Bream, which can be caught on the current using a bottom fishing rod, will not refuse such pea porridge.
Chago mushroom is also called birch mushroom and is not difficult to find. It appears as black growths on a white tree trunk.
You can also add dill seeds or its young leaves to the prepared pea porridge.
semolina nozzle
Semolina chatter is a viscous bait for catching fish. Mostly roach, silver bream, bream and crucian carp are caught using semolina. Semolina is semolina soaked in water, with a fairly liquid consistency. The chatterbox is wrapped around the hook with a match - then it holds well. It’s even better to put the semolina into a large syringe and wind it, simply squeezing it out.
method of preparing the semolina porridge attachment “chatter”
Preparing semolina porridge for the attachment is as easy as shelling pears. Stir an equal amount of semolina and water (for example, a stack of water on a stack of semolina). You wait an hour. Stir again so that there are no lumps. You put it into the syringe. The semolina chatter is ready for attachment.
potato attachment
Potatoes are used as a topping either in their natural form or mashed with bread. Potato baits are used when fishing for carp, carp, crucian carp and bream.
natural potato attachment
Potatoes are boiled in salted water. It should turn out a little undercooked. You can cook it with beets, then the potatoes turn pink. Cut into cubes 1-2 centimeters. Place one or two cubes on the hook.
attachment mashed potatoes with bread
Boil one unpeeled potato in salted water. Peel and mash while still hot. Take a crumb of rye bread, approximately the size of one large piece. Stir the crumb with the potatoes, add a little anise or hemp oil. Knead until you get a viscous mass that does not stick to your hands. Place into small balls. A very good bait for catching fish that have not deservedly been forgotten.
How to cook split peas?
In the second cooking option, we use shelled peas from the store. Fill the peas with water and let it brew for 4-6 hours. After this, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt and, if desired, a couple of cloves of garlic (it works especially well for attracting crucian carp at any time of the year).
Place the prepared peas on the fire and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the peas become soft. When cooking, you need to be careful to ensure that the peas do not burn. It has been observed that the smell of burnt peas can significantly reduce the attractiveness of the mixture.
After cooking, drain the water from the peas and place them on a baking sheet. At the same time, it will cool and dry out. After the peas have dried, grind them in a meat grinder or blender. The resulting mixture is quite crumbly and, when squeezed, has the required density. These peas can be used in a feeder on their own. It will create a strong pea trail while still providing good nutritional properties to hold fish.
This vegetable will be an indispensable bait for all varieties of carp.
dough attachment
The dough is used as a bait when fishing for roach, crucian carp, tench and other peaceful fish. Wheat flour is brewed in boiling water and stirred. Then add semolina or cookies to the dough and knead with your hands until the dough stops sticking to your hands. To catch fish in the current, prepare the dough for the bait like this. Place the dough in cheesecloth in boiling water for a few minutes. Then the bait will become elastic and will not fly off the hook, which is very important when fishing.
Another way to prepare the dough for the attachment . A very thick dough is kneaded from wheat flour. Roll the dough into a ball and knead it with your hands under a thin stream of tap water until the dregs are washed off (about 20 minutes). The volume of the dough is reduced by half, it holds even in a strong current. Add a couple of drops of anise, hemp or unrefined sunflower oil and knead. The dough for the nozzle is ready.
dough for attachment - useful tips
In order for the dough to hold well on the hook, you need to add crushed cotton wool to it. If you are already fishing, then instead of cotton wool, mulberry - filamentous algae - will do. If you are overwhelmed by bleak, and you are counting on catching larger fish, then you need to darken the dough. The bleak fish only notices light-colored baits. Add food coloring, such as for Easter eggs, or dark soil to the dough.
How to prepare peas for bait
Before you start cooking, you need to choose the right legumes, following the basic rules:
After choosing the optimal product, you can proceed directly to cooking. In order for the vegetable to retain its original shape, plasticity and intact shell after heat treatment, several recommendations should be followed:
Many fishermen replace the rather labor-intensive and lengthy process of preparing boiled peas with an easier one. There are several ways to steam peas, but the simplest of them will require the following steps:
- Pour 2 tbsp into a 2 liter thermos. legumes
- Add 1 tsp there. soda
- Pour boiling water over everything.
During the steaming process, it is permissible to add any flavoring to the peas, for example, anise, sunflower or hemp oil, etc.
Pea dough
Pea dough is often used as bait when fishing for crucian carp. To prepare it you will need:
- Boil 100 g of any (including half) peas, then mash them with a masher until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
- Mix the resulting porridge with oatmeal. In this case, the amount of rolled oats should be 2 times less than peas.
- When kneading the dough, you can add a little flour according to your eye.
- Roll out the flatbread and fry it in a frying pan with the addition of sunflower oil.
You can also use pea flour for these purposes, which is easy to find in specialized fishing stores. Here it is sold as a mixture with various flavors, packaged in small bags. To prepare the dough, just add water.
There are also slightly more complicated versions of the recipes. For example:
- Pea and wheat flour are mixed in a 1:1 ratio.
- Add 1 egg and water, then knead the dough.
- The resulting mass is immersed in boiling water, holding it there for 2–3 minutes.
- After cooling, the finished product is wrapped in gauze for storage.
Whole peas
The easiest way to cook peas is to use one of the basic recipes:
After cooking, the peas are sorted out and those that are suitable are sent to dry on spread paper or cloth.

To prepare pea bait for crucian carp, follow these recommendations:
Catching crucian carp with peas does not imply any specific tricks or techniques. This bait can be used on any fishing trip, in combination with any complementary food. It is much more important to place the pea on the hook correctly. The best place to insert the sting is where the sprout is pecking. To improve the chain properties of the tackle, the tip of the hook should be left open. And throw 2-3 grains into the place where the fishing rod is cast to feed the fish.
Sunflower oil or milk is often added to the cooking water to give the nozzle more flavor.
cereals and porridges as bait
Various as bait for bream, ide, crucian carp, and roach . The finished grain attachment can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than three days. Cereals are placed on the hook in groups of 3-4, piercing them across. The sting is hidden in the latter, inserted lengthwise.
pearl barley porridge attachment for catching crucian carp
Crucian carp often in summer refuses to bite on baits other than pearl barley porridge with unrefined sunflower oil. Soak pearl barley for two hours. Then cook over low heat in plenty of salted water for about forty minutes. Pearl barley porridge is ready for attachment when the first grains begin to burst. The water is drained, sunflower oil with a smell is added to the porridge (it attracts crucian carp most of all) and cooled.
corn bait for catching crucian carp
Carp and crucian carp are well caught on corn using bottom fishing rods and carp gear. This is especially true for fishing on paid ponds. The fish are caught using canned corn. Not all corn is equally suitable for bait. White, small and cracked corn is not suitable. The best corn for fishing is yellow, large, fairly hard, with whole grains. If you do not know what quality the corn of a given brand is, then it is better to take several cans from different manufacturers. Poor quality can be limed for bait.
It is believed that the best corn for bait is the one cooked by the fisherman himself from a corn cob. Boil corn in salted water until the kernels are soft.
Milk-ripe corn from young cobs is used for catching crucian carp, roach, ide, and tench. There is no need to cook such soft grains; fish are caught using raw corn.
nozzle boiled peas
The pea attachment is suitable for catching bream, tench, and crucian carp. First, the peas are soaked for 5 hours. Cook the peas wrapped in cheesecloth over low heat for twenty minutes. Add a teaspoon of soda to 1 liter of water. Allow to cool in water, only then take out and unwrap the gauze.
Canned green peas are also suitable as a nozzle.

Tips for a fisherman: How to cook millet for bream fishing - Answers for beginners
How to put peas on a thicker hook (the so-called carp hook)? Due to inexperience, the pea is easy to break. Hint: prick the hook near the sprout, which is easy to spot on each pea. Next, about the sting - if you don’t bring it out, then it is strictly necessary to hook, otherwise even “locomotive” bites will have zero results. However, a float rod or half-bottom requires a very energetic hooking.
Any fish with sufficiently large pharyngeal teeth will readily eat peas. Accordingly, it is unlikely that a fish smaller than 300 g (something like a bream, roach, etc.) will bite on a pea bait - if one is caught, it is extremely rare. Peas are equally good not only when using bottom, but also any float fishing tackle. Focus on the specific situation, look at the conditions of your fishing.
Fishing baits are some of the best. TOP 7. The importance of bait when fishing is difficult to overestimate, especially for feeder fishing. A hit parade of fishing baits, born from hours of practice on the pond! For carp, for bream, for roach.
