Information about Bait (luring Substance)

For other uses, see Bait (disambiguation).
Bait is any substance used to attract prey, e.g. in a mousetrap.

Fishing

The term is especially used with regard to catching fish. Traditionally, nightcrawlers, insects, and smaller fish have been used for this purpose. Fishermen have also begun using plastic bait and, more recently, electronic lures, to attract fish. Because of the risk of transmitting whirling disease, trout and salmon should not be used as bait.

Hunting

Using a bait is also a common practice in leopard hunting on a safari. A smaller antelope shot dead is usually placed high in the tree to lure the otherwise overcautious leopard. The Hunter either watches the bait from a shootable distance or stalks the animal if it came for the bait during the night.

Bait is also used in bear hunting. In areas where bears are hunted, one can often find such bait for sale at gas stations and hunting supply stores. The bait often consists of some sweet substance, often frosting or molasses, combined with some aromatic such as rotten meat or fish. The bait is spread and the hunter waits under cover for his prey.
