Zhang Yang's greeting instantly activated everyone's enthusiasm.

Although Zhang Yang had talked to everyone about bait more than once before, even angler Han Mocheng, who had undergone deep training at the bait factory, the overall reserve of knowledge about different baits' performances and related details was still insufficient.

This time, the FTT branch competition is using bait sponsored by the Hua Clan, which made everyone even more apprehensive. If it were Wuhan Tianyuan bait, they might be a bit more familiar, as everyone doesn't usually use Hua Clan bait frequently.

This is not to say that Hua Clan bait is bad or people don't like to use it; the main reason is quite simple: it's just what they're accustomed to using.

In his past life, when Zhang Yang participated in fishing competitions, he habitually used Wuhan Tianyuan bait, like Red Magic, Carp Meal, Big Carp Terminator, and the characteristics and compositions are mastered to perfection.

Once accustomed to using one, there was laziness in switching. Naturally, the young anglers in the competition team were influenced by Zhang Yang, so they didn't use Hua Clan's bait much either.

Once the team members were all gathered, Zhang Yang rudely pushed two single beds directly side by side, then pulled the bedside table to the empty position and placed the various baits he bought directly onto the small table.

"Hua Clan's bait has remained popular for many years, the quality of the product is unquestionable, what we need to be familiar with and understand are the flavor direction of the different baits, state differences, and the main components of the effective substances!

Look! This Big Plate Carp bait is a standard bran aroma-based bait, with a high composition of wheat germ, very similar to Tianyuan's Big Carp Terminator.

Hua No. 4, a composite flavor with strawberry aroma and a hint of fishy smell.

Hua No. 6, has a strong fishy taste, with a very high shrimp powder content inside!

Let's talk about the Activation used in this competition, this is a very representative state bait!

Looks a bit like a regular light bran or Snowflake Powder, right? Actually, I'm telling you, this thing is not just Snowflake Powder with a bit of green dye added!

How should I put it, it is in a puffed state between light bran and roasted bran, with the addition of beneficial algae components like chlorella found in natural water bodies, effectively reducing weight, increasing atomization, and maintaining the overall state of the bait!

Besides Activation, there are Four Seasons, Measure Up, and New Carp, these state baits.

In competition, when using public baits, it really comes down to flavor choice and bait state!

As long as the basic bait flavor type is selected correctly, the actual combat difference won't be very obvious, but if there's a different bait mix strategy, it will lead to a significant difference in bait state, weight, scattering, residue, targeting specific fish conditions, sometimes a tiny detail determines whether a fish advances or fails!

Measure Up, the main ingredient is small pieces of Snowflake Powder, can effectively reduce the weight of the bait and increase the atomization effect with layered peeling. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

New Four Seasons, the main ingredient is also Snowflake Powder, but the difference is its flakes are smaller, and there is wheat protein content with long and short strand combinations inside, allowing the bait to have a light weight and a certain net-like structure when prepared, effectively enhancing hook adhesion!

This New Carp bait is somewhat similar to Measure Up, should be considered the upgraded version of Measure Up, its biggest significance in the competition is in extreme fish conditions, it can be prepared as white bait, the bait is fluffy and presents a flocculent structure, and is better for fishing light bite fish conditions!"

...

Zhang Yang, now in the zone, took out each bait from the packaging bag, opened it for everyone, and explained while demonstrating how to prepare one portion of bait on-site, lining them up on the small table under different names.

When it comes to business matters, Zhang Yang is very authoritative. He gave everyone a clear explanation of the rough situation, usage scenarios of each bait that might be used in the competition. After a bunch of on-site lectures, all the bought baits were opened and handled by him.

"Okay, after discussing the basic information about these baits, next I'll teach you high-level practical operations!

Using public bait, everyone's bait is the same, but there is one difference that can heavily impact the catch, depending on whether it's utilized well or not!

What's that? Quite simple, the degree of crushing!

The next thing I'm going to talk about is called the crusher!"

After saying this, Zhang Yang dramatically pulled out a small steel grinder from behind the door.

"Many commercial baits, though using high-quality materials, are sometimes not suitable for fishing competition pond conditions, because the essence of mass-produced commercial baits still caters to the broad wild fishing customer base.

At this point, we need a series of deep processing techniques!

The deep processing I often use, here are a few types, watch closely!

First, the crushing!

Especially for the basic baits with a lot of wheat germ, the flakes are big and the prepared bait is coarse.

How to make the bait's state better without changing any flavor type?

Proper crushing can effectively adjust the bait state, making the prepared bait more compact and better for entry.

Second, screening!

Screening has a kind of coincidental resemblance to crushing, if we need to adjust the state, we can also use a screen to appropriately sift out some large components!
