Tips and tricks for fishing for red-tailed fish are as follows:

One, understand the habits and preferences of the red-tailed fish

Red-tailed fish is a carnivorous fish, which mainly feeds on small fish, shrimp, aquatic insects and so on. During the day, the redtail's activity range is usually in the surface layer of the water near the shore, while at night it will go deep underwater to hunt for food. Therefore, fishing for red-tailed fish requires choosing the right time period in the waters where they are active.

In addition, the redtail fish has a high demand for water quality, and clear water is more likely to attract them. When choosing fishing spots, you should try to choose the middle and upper layers of the waters, such as the backwater bays of rivers and the shallow waters of lakes, which are rich in food and suitable for redtail fish to feed on.

Selecting the right fishing tackle and fishing group

1. Fishing tackle

The fishing tackle for red tail fish should be sensitive, lightweight and durable. Hand rods are commonly used and should be at least 5.4 meters in length so as to be able to cope with different water depths. At the same time, choosing a rod with good elasticity and toughness can better cope with the impact of red-tailed fish.

2. Line set

For the line set, it is recommended to use a 3.0-4.0 main line with a 2.0-3.0 subline, which can ensure the sensitivity and strength of the line set. For hooks, choose a size 7-9 Marusei hook, which is suitable for hanging live bait such as earthworms and can also penetrate the fish's mouth better.

3, fishing group

In the fishing group matching, it is recommended to choose a single hook. Single hooks can reduce the chance of the fish being stabbed, thus reducing the rate of fish running. If a novice uses a double hook, he should also be careful not to put the two hooks too close to each other, so as not to interfere with each other.

Three, choose the right bait and fishing method

Red-tailed fish like to eat fishy bait, such as earthworms, sandworms and so on. When using earthworms as bait, you can choose slightly larger earthworms and hang the whole worm on the hook, which can better attract red-tailed fish. When using sandworms as bait, you should cut them into small pieces and hang them on the hook more often to increase the effect of attracting fish.

When it comes to drifting, it is recommended to choose the method of adjusting 7-8 eyes and fishing 2-3 eyes. This method can make the float more stable in the water, and it is also easier to observe the signals of the red-tailed fish eating the float. When you find that the float appears to shake up and down and then suddenly sinks or tops out, you should quickly and forcefully lift the rod upwards.

Adjustment and maintenance of the fishing set

The fishing set for redtail fishing needs to be adjusted and maintained frequently to ensure its sensitivity and durability. Before each fishing trip, the fishing set should be inspected and maintained, including checking the tension value of the main line and subline, checking the hook barb and barbs, and checking the sensitivity and stability of the float. If you find any damage or wear on the fishing set, you should replace or repair it in time.

Additionally, after each fishing trip, the fishing set should be cleaned and maintained, including cleaning the hooks and floats, and maintaining the rods and wires. This will prolong the life of the fishing set and improve the fishing effect.
