IS THERE A SUPER ATTRACTANT HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT? - 10/25/20 06:40 PM
As a part time tinkerer, inventor, and ponderer of many things, I wonder abt things as such.
we all know that crappie slime is a great attractor when it comes to crappie. The reason for this at least partly, is because crappie are cannibals. I believe especially on lakes with large populations, and heavy spawns, they eat many of thier young.
Im sure there are other chemicals in the slime that likely stimulate the crappies smell receptors. crappie have all 5 senses that we have .
If the slime on the crappie could be concentrated, I wonder if it would be a superior attractant to what is now available. Ive read that alot of the attractants use different enzymes and proteins, and some are very good. like berkley nibbles and others..
texas law says you cannot use ANY part of a gamefish for bait.. so does the slime count? is the slime something that grows on a fish, or something the fish itself produces? ha
also you cannot patent any organic substance, so if something was developed, it could only be the formula that is retainable I think..
until then just keep u some slime in a mason jar, and if the gamewarden checks you, tell them its carp slime!. ha
