Spread Radius
Spread radius describes how far the bait’s signal travels in water.
It determines the area in which fish can detect and respond to the bait.
What is spread radius
Spread radius is the distance that chemical signals travel from the bait.
It is created by leakage and influenced by environmental conditions and bait composition.
Water movement
Water movement plays a major role in how signals spread.
In still water:
• Signals spread slowly
• Concentration remains higher near the bait
In moving water:
• Signals travel further
• Spread becomes wider but less concentrated
Currents and water flow significantly influence detection range.
Solubility impact
Solubility determines how easily components leave the bait and enter the water.
High solubility:
• Faster signal release
• Wider spread
• Lower concentration over distance
Lower solubility:
• Slower release
• More localized signal
• Higher concentration near the bait
Solubility directly shapes the size and strength of the signal zone.
Concentration vs distance
As the signal spreads, it becomes less concentrated.
Close to the bait:
• Strong signal
• High feeding response
Further away:
• Weaker signal
• Detection depends on sensitivity
There is always a trade-off between reach and intensity.
Effect on attraction
Spread radius influences how fish locate the bait.
Wide spread:
• Increases detection range
• Attracts fish from further away
Narrow spread:
• Creates a focused feeding zone
• Stronger signal close to the bait
Both can be effective depending on the situation.
Common mistakes
Spread issues often come from misunderstanding leakage.
Common mistakes include:
• Too much solubility → signal spreads too thin
• Too little solubility → limited detection range
• Ignoring water movement → unpredictable results
• Poor balance → inconsistent attraction
Balancing spread radius
Spread radius must be balanced with signal strength.
It should work together with:
• Leakage → provides the signal
• Solubility → controls spread
• Structure → controls release speed
• Water conditions → affect movement
The goal is effective detection without losing signal strength.
In Boilie Maker Studio
Spread radius is evaluated as part of signal distribution.
The system analyzes:
• Solubility
• Leakage rate
• Interaction with water movement
• Signal intensity over distance
This allows prediction of how far and how effectively the bait can attract fish.
