Fishing Particles

What Are Fishing Particles?

Fishing particles are small, natural baits that include seeds, nuts, and legumes such as hemp, maize, tiger nuts, breadcrumbs, and maple peas. Prepared through soaking and boiling, these baits become irresistible to fish, especially carp, making them an excellent choice for a variety of fishing styles.

How Are Fishing Particle Baits Used?

Particles are used in a range of fishing methods. They can be introduced into the swim to attract fish to the area, used in PVA bags, added to groundbaits, or used on their own as hook bait. The key to their effectiveness lies in their ability to create a feeding frenzy, as the small size encourages fish to continuously search for food, keeping them in your swim longer.

Target Species for Fishing Particles

Particles are incredibly effective for targeting species such as carp, tench, bream, and roach. Each particle type has its unique appeal, making them suitable for specific fishing scenarios and times of the year.

Benefits of Using Fishing Particles

• Versatility: Suitable for different fishing techniques, from float fishing to ledgering.
• Attractiveness: Their natural composition makes them highly attractive to a wide range of fish species.
• Cost-Effective: Bulk preparation and storage can lead to significant savings over time.
• Adaptability: Easy to flavour and colour to suit specific fishing conditions and target species.

Particle Baits: What Works Well and What Doesn’t

Success with particles depends on the situation. Hemp is a fantastic all-rounder, attracting many species with its oily composition. Maize and tiger nuts are excellent for targeting larger carp, offering high visibility and a satisfying crunch.

However, not all particles work well in cold water as fish are less active and may not feed as aggressively on large beds of particles. In these conditions, less is more, and a more targeted approach with highly attractive particles like flavoured maize or hemp can be more effective.

Tips for Using Fishing Particles Effectively

• Always prepare particles properly to ensure they are safe for fish.
• Experiment with Spod mixes and liquid additives to find the perfect combination for your target species and fishing conditions.
• Use particles in moderation during colder months to avoid overfeeding.
