Where there is little easily accessible food and the fish are not spoiled by edible garbage, the meat of these mollusks, cleaned of shells, will be the best bait. Perlovitsy are found in almost any reservoir. They can dial along the coast in places where deeper. To catch a catfish on a hook (tee) you need to bait the meat of several large shells. Stored mollusks can be stored in a cool place in wet sand for more than one week.
Если нет возможности раздобыть моллюсков, то в As a nozzle, you can use fish (live bait and dead) or its pieces weighing up to 2 kg. The hook must be threaded along the back, so that its tip is always directed towards the tail. In reservoirs where there is a lot of som, you can catch them for any meat or even tripe.
Crayfish

Then the container is filled with blood and placed near the bait. Som - fish is very sensitive. He senses the smell of blood from a distance, which, under the pressure of water, is slowly trickling out of the vial, and comes to the nozzle.
