Abstract

Compositions and methods useful for fishing are described. In particular, compositions which include one or more fish attractants and which combine several advantageous properties, including moldability at ambient temperatures, sustained release of attractant(s), and ability to resist casting forces due to increased wet strength, are described. These advantages are achieved by combining a polymer such as a cellulose ester, a plasticizer, one or more fish attractant food sources, and optionally one or more fillers. The compositions may include up to 50% attractants, rendering them an effective bait material for attracting fish, crustaceans, other aquatic creatures such as marine mammals, mink, beaver, nuisance pests such as insects, rodents, and coyotes or game species such as deer and bear.
