What Is Bread Bait?
Steamed bread is pressed into small balls, typically pierced with a needle and looped onto the hook. These "bread boilies" are then soaked in liquid attractants (boosters) to create irresistible bait. Natural oil or glycerin helps the bait hold together underwater. Sweet solutions also improve durability and appeal.
The Process:
- Steam bread in microwave or steamer until soft
- Place in plastic bag
- Press using this tool
- Break/Shape into small pieces
- Thread with looped line using a needle
- Boost by dipping in your favorite attractant
- Dry until ready
- Fish!
Features:
- Adjustable Clamp: The tension arm can be repositioned for more efficient pressing—find the leverage that works for you.
- Screw Mechanism: Provides controlled, even pressure
- Simple Design: Few parts, easy to clean
🔧 IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY NOTES 🔧
- LUBRICATION IS MANDATORY: Apply oil to the screw threads and contact surfaces before use. Vegetable oil works in a pinch, but SOMETHING must be used. The mechanism WILL NOT function properly without lubrication.

- Supports needed only for the clamp (see photos)

- Material: PETG or ABS/ASA recommended
