corn is one of the greatest allies of fishermen at the time of going to a bait that is economical, accessible, versatile and very effective. It can be used alone or combined with other products such as bread or even in the mass of boilies, which increases its effectiveness.
We know very well how to work with corn and how to prepare it at home so that it is effective. The technique of fermenting corn is something that many fishermen do on a regular basis, however buying it, ready to use, is also convenient and much more so for those who do not have the space or time to prepare it.
What is fished with corn?
The great advantage of corn fishing is that attracts a huge variety of fish, starting with carp, a supreme sweet tooth of this grain. However, there are species such as tench, including bogas. Remember that it can be used both on the hook and to bait the waters.
Types of corn for fishing
Let's review the types of corn that we can use and that should be tested to ensure which one is more effective for our fishing:
- fermented corn: it is the one that is made at home, leaving the corn submerged in water for several days so that it takes on a penetrating smell.
- boiled corn: a medium cooking is done to soften the grain.
- canned corn: It is the most common for sporadic fishing and is obtained in grocery or fishing stores. It must be used immediately and its own juice can be used to prime the waters.
- artificial corn: they are imitations of corn made in various materials and with the smell, color and shape of the natural one. It is used especially for areas where we are interested in other specimens not devouring it, such as crabs for example.
