Is musk useful for fishing?

There is a proverb in the Tang Dynasty, which means that when there is musk, the fragrance will come naturally, and there is no need for strong wind to blow it. It can be seen that Musk has been famous since ancient times.

Musk refers to the substance secreted by the gonad of the male body of Cervidae, such as forest musk deer, horse musk deer or protomusk deer. It has a comfortable fragrance, which is not only a high-grade spice, but also a precious medicinal material. Many fishermen often use musk wine or musk rice to catch fish. So, is musk fishing easy to use?

The main source of musk; Musk deer are mainly divided into three types: forest musk deer, horse musk deer and original musk deer. Forest musk deer and horse musk deer are mainly distributed in Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and other western regions, and the original musk deer is mainly distributed in Northeast China. Among the three kinds of musk deer, the forest musk deer is the best, and the original musk deer is also good. Musk of forest musk deer is the most widely used.

Several kinds of musk. Musk mainly includes natural musk, artificial musk and chemically synthesized musk. Natural musk is produced in wild musk deer, but wild musk deer is a national protected animal and hunting is strictly prohibited, so it is almost impossible to obtain natural musk. However, there are artificial farms of forest musk deer in many areas, and it is easy to obtain artificial musk. The chemical synthesis of musk is mainly through the chemical synthesis of muscone, which is used as essence.

Musk wine; The musk obtained by artificially raising forest musk deer has a faint fragrance, but it is still very comfortable. Because musk is insoluble in water and slightly soluble in wine, one kilogram of alcohol solution above 75 degrees can dissolve one gram of musk. Therefore, if musk can lure fish, it should be dissolved in high-alcohol liquor. Therefore, many low-alcohol musk wines on the market have little effect on attracting fish, because musk is insoluble in water and the smell cannot spread in water, so it is impossible to attract fish.

Musk rice; Musk rice on the market is a gimmick. As we said before, musk is insoluble in water. If it is directly added to rice or soaked in musk wine, the musk in rice cannot be dispersed in water. Moreover, even the artificially cultured musk is extremely expensive, up to several hundred yuan per gram. How can a dozen dollars a catty of musk rice use real musk?
