PURPOSE: To obtain an artificial bait for aquatic organisms having fish gathering, fishhook holding and nonpolluting properties comparable to those of a live bait.

CONSTITUTION: This artificial bait for aquatic organisms is obtained by mixing 40% broth with 15% gluten (a blend with the broth), 10% fish oil, 20% gelatin solution, 10% alum, 1% calcium lactate, 2% thick malt syrup and 2% cow's milk, slowly kneading them at 40°C for 5min, forming the resultant mixture to a hardness of about that of an earlobe, then cooling the formed mixture at ambient temperature (20°C) for 4hr and suitably forming the cooled mixture into a desired shape. The bait has fish gathering, fishhook holding and nonpolluting properties comparable to those of a live bait.
