Approximately 1:0.4 water ratio to prepare the new bait. After mixing well, leave it there to absorb the water.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yang rubbed the bait with both hands, breaking up the slight lumps, revealing the small yellow face.
He casually grabbed a set of leader lines, pinched a small loose cannon bait with three fingertips, and showed it to everyone.
"Watch closely! Look at the state when it enters the water! Don't blink!"
After saying this, Zhang Yang tossed the loose cannon directly into the nearby float-adjusting bucket.
The Triangle Cannon entered the water and began to quickly atomize, forming a rolling smoky dragon from top to bottom in the bucket with just one pole and two loose cannon baits, rendering the clear water in the entire bucket completely muddy.
"Wow!"
"Holy! Look at this state!"
"This... is completely different from the previous formula bait state. Just one cast and the water turned all muddy?"
Everyone in the shop had played in black pits for a year, and they understood what this level of atomization meant. Without comparison, there is no disparity, and it's much better than the previous formula bait.
The previous formula bait's main components were granular powder ground from ring mold particles, supplemented with agricultural byproducts like super-attractants, added Marukyu Fish Bait, and crushed Brocade Dragon Carp along with appropriate Snowflake Powder.
The advantage of this formula bait was comprehensive nutrition, considering both animal and plant proteins, attractant base flavor types, and scattered states.
However, the combination of flakes, powder, and granules requires skill during preparation.
Too much water makes it sticky, too little makes it hard to bait, and the bait becomes very hard, making it difficult to control its scattering state in the water. Friends with slightly weaker bait-making skills find it hard to prepare the bait properly.
But with the small yellow face in Zhang Yang's hands, it requires no mixing; its main component is pulverized floating culture feed that fish eat from a young age, with protein, amino acids, and grain raw materials already added during pelletization, and a partial cooking process during heat expansion.
This powdered bait absorbs water more evenly and disperses more extremely upon entering water, hence the previous two bait balls muddied the entire float-adjusting bucket.
To achieve a similar effect with the previous formula bait, it would require at least two or three times the bait amount.
The on-site demonstration showed a stark difference!
Seeing everyone astonished, Zhang Yang smiled smugly: "Food-grade processing techniques! I specially contacted a factory to customize it!
I've already tested it in several real battles, the fish-snatching effect is solid! This is a new research result from my friend in aquaculture, unique nationwide!"
Upon hearing Zhang Yang's words, everyone was completely conquered.
"Give me three kilograms!"
"I want to try too! Damn, the state is amazing!"
"I want it too! Can you give me more? Xiao Hui didn't come, I'll bring some for him!"
Zhang Yang shook his head: "This stuff is really popular, I don't have much. Try it when you catch some at the shop, but if you weren't here, I can't help bring it!
Many shops outside are cracking my bait formula, aren't they? If you're capable, try cracking another today!
Meng Fan, bring over the self-sealing bags, and let's pack what each person wants together!"
With the help of many fishing friends, Zhang Yang's small yellow face was packaged, each person got three kilograms, and nearly half of the fifty-kilogram bag was sold in no time.
After the anglers left satisfied, only Zhang Yang, Old Zhao, and Meng Fan remained in the shop.
Old Zhao chuckled, "Is this really a new result from your friend? Don't fool me, buddy! How much is left? I'll take it all!"
Zhang Yang smiled meaningfully: "You don't need to care how I got it. Just keep using it. When the real battle tests pass, we'll invest in equipment for production!
By the way, we also need to register a few more trademark names! I'll text you the names later!"
"That's a small matter, I just want to know how effective this thing is in practice!"
"Absolutely effective, let's put it this way, if you're not skilled, it works slightly better than formula bait. If you know how to play, it leaves formula bait in the dust! I've tested it several times in practice!"
"Then tomorrow we'll rely entirely on it! Junzi should be going too!"
...
Early the next day before dawn, Zhang Yang drove early to the fishing site.
Since buying a van, the fishing time is slightly more flexible, unlike before when he had to gather at the shop and wait for Old Zhao to drive.
Upon arriving early at the site, Zhang Yang took a large plastic basin from the back of the van and directly poured nearly ten kilograms of small yellow face into it.
Meng Fan was busy today and couldn't come. Old Zhao and Wang Jun had registered, and these ten kilograms of bait were the ammunition for Zhang Yang's iron triangle today.
While there weren't many people yet, Zhang Yang prepared the loose cannon bait and divided it into three portions using convenient bags, then waited to draw lots for entry, taking the chance to nap in the car.
At six o'clock, someone knocked on the window, waking Zhang Yang up.
Old Zhao came over, holding steaming meat buns.
"What time did you get here? Why are you sleeping in the car? Eat, eat well to have strength for pulling fish!" Zhao Bingguang handed over breakfast.
"After five o'clock, the bait is ready, packed in convenient bags in the trunk! For soft sticky bait, just add a little water yourself!"
"It's still a bit cold outside, don't stand there, where do we go in the morning?"
"Let's go!"
Carrying breakfast, Zhang Yang and Old Zhao strolled into the house.
Many anglers had already arrived at the fishing site, and the prefab room was full of people.
As they entered, the warm air mixed with smoke hit them, and everyone inside was smoking like chimneys.
"Hey, Master Zhang is here! Good morning, Master Zhang!"
Zhang Yang was bending over to get a stool from behind the door when he heard a greeting from someone on a folding chair.
"It's General Lang, aren't you leading a team to the frontline reservoir? How did you make time to play in the black pit?" Zhang Yang responded with a smile upon seeing Lang Junfeng greeting him.
"Just forty to fifty kilos of crucian carp a day, I'm tired of it, it's boring!" Lang Junfeng casually boasted.
"Forty to fifty kilos, that's decent, the market buys fish at ten yuan a kilo!"
"Mainly, I just made some new black pit bait, coming to practice and test the products!
There's only this many black pit anglers around, but they all go to your place. I'm really struggling! Relying on selling Wild War Blue Crucian, barely earning a few cents, and not showing face, can't do business!"
"Haha, General Lang is kidding. You are the champion of W City's fishing shops, a hair from you is thicker than my waist!" Zhang Yang smiled, sidestepping the topic.
"Haha! The Yangtze River's waves drive the old waves forward. I, an old buddy compared to you, don't stand a chance!"
Although Old Lang joked, his words were quite frank, clearly commenting on Zhang Yang taking his customers.
After small talk, Zhang Yang had no desire to continue chatting with the other party, silently munching buns and pulling out his phone to read the news.
Time unknowingly reached six fifty, and Meng Xiangqiu called out with a megaphone, urging everyone to come out for drawing lots and entering the field.
Despite Lang Junfeng's provocative talks to Zhang Yang, the truth is old Lang wasn't too confident, even with a hint of wanting to see Zhang Yang fail.
Currently, Old Lang's shop has taken the Brocade Dragon Fish Bait distribution rights, prominently displaying Brocade Dragon Carp Little Fatty on the shelf. Whenever a black pit angler enters, he mentions the formula bait, aiming to undermine Zhang Yang's reputation and business.
Without the core flavor advantage of Brocade Dragon Carp bait, the formula bait feels soulless. Let's see what waves you can stir up.
...
After a short while, the fishing site draws ended, and Zhang Yang drew the 7th fishing spot, neither central nor on the edge, a very ordinary position. Together with Wang Yan, who was in charge of photography, they meandered to the spot.
This time, Old Lang drew the 31st spot, roughly diagonally opposite Zhang Yang.
Sitting down, he began to look around, and upon seeing Zhang Yang across, Lang Junfeng felt a slight regret.
However, the regret didn't last long, shortly after Wang Jun arrived carrying a tackle box and sat right at the 30th spot next to Lang Junfeng.
Wang Jun and Old Zhao have always teamed up for fishing, initially spending some time at Old Lang's shop. But after meeting Zhang Yang, they never returned.
Now, Wang Jun has become a die-hard supporter of Zhang Yang's shop, and in Lang Junfeng's eyes, there's no possibility of persuading him.
Lang Junfeng thought to himself, if the major player isn't nearby, then getting close to a sidekick works too. With Brocade Dragon Carp out of the picture, let's see what bait advantages you have left. Today, I will reclaim the lost pride, no matter what!
