Then use a rolling pin to roll it into a 14 mm thick plate, and then cut the plate into isosceles trapezoidal strips with a width of 6 mm on the upper bottom and 8 mm on the lower bottom, and the upper bottom of the strip is 2 mm thick.

The bait needs to be kept soft and fresh. The unqualified pellets can be rolled into a ball, rolled into blocks, and cut into the required pellets. The cut pellets should be bottled and sealed in time to prevent the water from evaporating. In this way, a small bag of corn flour pellets can be used for 5 fishing rods for a week. When using, put the hook horizontally through the bottom 2-3 mm below, leaving the hook tip completely exposed.
