Semolina is an excellent bait for catching non-predatory fish: crucian carp, carp, ide, roach and others. They boil it - and make cool nozzles; steaming, get mastic; finally, a chatterbox is made from raw semolina.
When to cook
It is better to prepare a chatterbox on the eve of a fishing trip, for example, in the evening. For this, any sort of decoy and water available in the house is suitable. You can prepare a catchy bait directly on the shore. Bring some dry semolina with you, and there will be enough water in the pond or on the river.
You can prepare a chatterbox for future use by filling syringes with it and placing it in the refrigerator. In the freezer, the finished nozzle will lie undisturbed for up to 3 months.
Pre-cooking process
So, take the dishes in which you will cook the chatterbox. It can be a glass jar with a wide mouth of 150 grams, you can use plastic dishes. Pour the prepared semolina into a bowl, filling about half of the volume. Take water at room temperature, but not boiled - boiled water takes on a peculiar smell that fish does not like. Carefully, so as not to overflow, pour water in a thin stream so that its level overlaps the semolina horizon by 5-10 mm. Now leave the jar of semolina alone for 20-30 minutes. Let the cereal take in the water and swell.
The main process
And now comes the main preparation of the talker. Arm yourself with a wooden or glass stick and start methodically, if possible without interruption, shake and stir the swollen mass until you get a viscous semolina mixture. This work will take at least 15 minutes.
Do not use metal teaspoons or wire. Many carp fish are very sensitive to iron odors, and this can affect the bite.
As a result, the consistency of the mass should be such that the chatterbox can, hanging with a long string, hold on to the raised stick without breaking off. The chatterbox is ready. You can leave it in the jar, you can fill the syringe with a talker - it will be convenient to squeeze it out of it and wind the mass on the hook.
Flavors and colorants
To make the chatter nozzle even more catchy, add flavorings to it. For example, crucian carp loves the additional smell of honey or garlic. Just do not overdo it - a strong and pungent smell can, on the contrary, scare the fish away. Use small hooks: No. 3.5 - 5.5.
The talker is wound on the hook with a wooden stick or squeezed out of the syringe onto it. It turns out a ball from which the smallest grains are gradually separated in the water, luring the fish.
Experiment with color. For this, it is good to use various food colors. "No tail, no scales!"
