Crickets for Fishing: A Traditional Bait in Pakistan
Crickets have been used as fishing bait in Pakistan for generations. These insects are particularly effective for catching various freshwater fish species found in Pakistani rivers and lakes.In local fishing culture, crickets are considered one of the most reliable natural baits. Fishermen often collect crickets from fields and grasslands, especially during the monsoon season when these insects are abundant.
The traditional method involves using live crickets hooked through the back to keep them active in water. This movement attracts fish like mahseer, trout, and various carp species that are common in Pakistani waters.
Many experienced anglers in Pakistan believe that crickets work better than artificial lures because they provide natural scent and movement that fish recognize from their regular diet.
