Baits tested by Me
1. Coconut Syrup with Omega Vanilla flavoured bread
This bait is good during the weekdays but not during competition days.

2.
Omega Powder No.1,2 and 3 with Omega Bread
This mixing is good for game competition and leisure fishing. But like I said,
Careful mixing is required.

3.
Omega Pandan bread and Phurich Pandan Oil
Over-mixing by me causes the bait to produce extreme strong pandan smell. This in turn causes the fishes to be afraid of biting the bait as the fishes are also wary of the smell. This bait proves to be successful during non-competiton days.

4.
Omega Vanilla bread and Phurich Amyl-Acetate Flavour
For me, this mixing is no good even during non-competition days. Not even a fish caught during 2 hours of fishing..

5.
Omega Banana bread and Omega Powder Mixer No.3
This is the average bait that an angler will use. Instant mixing can be done during competition days. Don't have to keep for days to enhanced the smell as the Omega Mixer No.3 already has the cheezy smell.

Note : This is only my personal experience with the bait i tried. I do not hold any responsibilty for fishes not caught using my method as various ponds require different baits. For best results, please consult the Fishing Guide for advice.
