The importance of the right bait when fishing
When it comes to fishing, having the best accessories is essential . Likewise, you need to be careful when choosing bait for each type of fish , as each species has its own characteristics. Furthermore, each environment must also be analyzed when choosing. For example, saltwater baits may not be effective in freshwater.
Natural baits vs. artificial baits
Regarding baits, the question may always arise: artificial or natural baits? In the case of artificial ones, there is the advantage of practicality. However, as it is a lifeless material, the fisherman must be attentive to simulating movements to attract the fish.
Natural baits need to be purchased and stored well, but they also offer several advantages:
they are natural and do not need movement simulation;
they are common prey and attract fish more easily;
They exude their characteristic smell that helps to catch the fish.
Some common examples are:
worms — ideal for freshwater or saltwater — beach worms.
lambari — versatile and freshwater, it is bait for both predatory and leather species.
shrimp — used in both fresh and salt water, can attract many different species.
squid — ideal for beach fishing, it has the advantage of not being released easily.
corn, bread, fish food and fishing dough — suggestions for fishing in rivers, lakes and fishing grounds.

The main baits for each type of fish
Those who choose natural bait, in addition to adequate conservation, need to choose the best types for the species of fish they want to fish. Check out some examples of the fish we have selected and their respective baits below.
Corvina
Corvina — also known as hake — can appear in both salt and fresh water. In the latter case, it can be found in the Araguaia and Paraná basins, in addition to the Amazon and some places in the northeast.
For saltwater, shrimp is a good bait option. In fresh water, you can choose sardines. In this case, it can be used whole, as well as just the tail or head. If it is in pieces, it must be tied with elastic so that it does not come loose from the hook.
Boyfriend
The valentine is a saltwater species, common in tropical regions. As it feeds on crustaceans, its ideal baits are shrimp and armadillo, but beach worms can also be used.
In the case of frozen shrimp, it can be passed through the line to release the smell. When fishing on the beach, it is interesting to use the species of shrimp that lives in this habitat. In turn, the tatuíra can be used alive or dead — when the shell of the crustacean is removed.
Freshwater dorado
Typical of the Prata basin, the dorado lives in rivers and their tributaries. Much admired for its size and beauty, it is a predatory fish that feeds on small fish. For him, it is possible to use lambari and tuvira. This, widely used in the Pantanal, is an ideal bait for noble fish . Another option for gold is also to use minhocuçu .
