How to Choose The Best Burley for Fishing

How do I catch more fish with Burley?

Our selection of fishing burley is the ideal fishing attractant to keep the fish biting as you cast out. Burley for fishing, which is made from actual fish extract such as prawn, snapper, pilchard, whiting, trout, tuna, and others, is one of the best ways to attract and keep fish at your fishing spot.

How often should I burley the water?

A good rule of thumb is to always have some form of burley trail from the back of your boat when bait fishing at anchor.

Initially, this procedure should be performed every two to three minutes. However, when the fish begin to bite, this time can be increased to every five or six minutes.

Fishing from the shore with burley is similar to offshore, except that using somewhat bigger chunks of burley that won't be taken away by the tide is preferable. Simply combine all of your burley components in a bucket and throw it in water every 10 minutes.

Which types of burley should I use?

Many fisherman will gather whatever scraps are laying around to use as burley when heading out for a day on the water. This is good in most circumstances, but there may be times when you'll want to be more precise with your ingredients to really attract the correct type of fish. Davos Tackle sell pre mixed burley packets to save you time and get the fish to you faster.

There are numerous burley component combinations that can be utilised to target specific species of fish. Among the most popular ingredients are:

• Bread
• Bread crumbs
• Chicken layer pellets
• Dog or cat food
• Pilchards
• Prawn heads and shells
• Pipis (a type of edible clam)
• Worms
• Maggots
• Fish frames
• Chopped weed and green cabbage
• Sand
• Wheat
• Corn
• Tuna oil
• Various fish scrapes

How much burley should I use?

There's a delicate line between too much and too little burley. Inexperienced fisherman frequently make the mistake of throwing out too much too soon. Fish of all kinds will of course flock to the free feast, but it won't be long until they've had their fill and the bait on the end of your line will have little to no effect. The idea here is to use burley bits that are consistently considerably smaller than the size of your line bait as sold in pellets at Davos Tackle.
