1. Manufacture of the lure cage: The barbed bamboo strips are woven into a bamboo cage with a height of 30-40 cm and a diameter of about 15 cm. The bottom mouth is closed, the upper mouth is open, and the caliber is better, which is convenient for catching Monopterus albus. At the lower end of the cage 7-8 cm, 5-8 thin bamboo pieces are woven to form a small mouth with inverted whiskers, with a diameter of about 5 cm, so that Monopterus albus can freely drill in from the outside without leaving the cage.

2. Making bait: Use bamboo tubes with a length of about 20-30cm and a diameter of 6-8cm. Don't open the bottom of the bamboo tube to avoid missing the bait. At a height of about 5-6cm, several 6-7cm slits are made, which are called bait windows.

3. Bait equipment: Monopterus albus likes to eat fresh live bait. When fishing Monopterus albus in eel cages, we must prepare enough fresh fish, shrimp, live earthworm, pig liver or chicken liver, mix them with plant ash, and put a small amount into the bait tube, so that the fishy smell will slowly spread out from the bait window.

4. Catching Monopterus albus skillfully by putting the tube: put the bait into the bottom of the bait tube, then insert it into the cage, and plug the cage mouth with a cork or grass ball at the same time. 6-65438+1October around 6-7 pm, you can put the cage on the bottom of the pool gently, or you can put the cage next to the ridge of rice field, then press it down hard and put it in the mud for 3-5 cm. Put 4-5 cages on every square meter of water surface, and after 1 hour, start collecting eels from cages, and then collect them every half hour. The fishing degree of this method can reach 70%-80%, and the survival rate of eels is quite high. By catching Monopterus albus in this way, one can put some traps in different places.
