Artificial baits are edible baits that are not directly acquired via natural means, but are made from other food materials via some kind of artificial processing. These can be [[fish food]] that are either homemade (e.g. dried [[paste (food)|food paste]]) or commercially purchased (e.g. [[boilie]]s and [[fish feed|feed pellets]]), or prepared/processed food such as [[cutlet]]s, [[offal]]s, [[hulling|dehulled]] [[seed|kernel]]s (e.g. peas and corns), dairy products (cheese and [[curd]]), bread or doughballs made from various ingredient mixtures (e.g. rice, [[semolina]], [[cornmeal]], bread crumbs, and [[fishmeal]], etc.), which can be used to attract [[omnivorous]] or even [[herbivorous]] fish.  In lakes in southern climates such as Florida, [[panfish]] such as [[Centrarchidae|sunfish]] will even take household [[wheat bread]] or pet food as bait. These bread bait is prepared from a small amount of bread, often moistened and softened by saliva, then squeezed into a ball of the bite size of small fish.
