HOW TO MAKE ATTRACTANT BAIT
In Japan, bait that is cast into the water to attract fish is known as MAKIE. Due to country and regional differences, it is also known as "ATTRACTANT BAIT", "GROUND BAIT" and "BURLEY", however here it will be referred to as "ATTRACTANT BAIT".

Basically you simply add 1 bag of bait to 3kg of krill, then adjust the stiffness of the mixture with saltwater. By adding in the bait to your krill, it makes the krill a lot easier to handle and keeps it together even in strong winds. Also the smell and cloud given off by the bait helps to attract fish, and allows you to control the way the krill breaks up in the water.

1. Add in the partly defrosted krill, and carefully break it up. Pour in the powder bait on top.

2. Pour in salt water and mix thourougly with a burley mixing tool. Add enough water to get it to your perferred moisture level. (Mixing directions for each bait are printed on the back of the bag)

3. Cast the burley (attractant) into the water using a scattering spoon.


When you don't have any krill

If you don't have any krill, you can also finely cut up some raw shrimp, fish meat or squid found in fish markets or supermarkets and mix it with our baits.

Some MARUKYU saltwater baits contain a variety of grains including pellets and barley. Even if you can't find any krill or fish meat, you can still attract enough fish by adding water to our baits.
