The use of drifts in fishing crucian carp in the wild has its own characteristics under different circumstances. Floats are distinguished according to the thickness of the floating tail. Generally, crucian carp floats with long, thin waist and large size are used, which are required to sink quickly and have good stability. Different distances of fishing spots also have different visual requirements. According to the clarity of floating eyes, they can be divided into extremely thin tail, thin tail and thick tail.

1. Description of floating tail

1, very thin tail. This floating tail is extremely thin, with a diameter of about 0.2-0.5mm, and is extremely sensitive. It can amplify the signal of crucian carp eating, which is very helpful for catching the mouth. It is used in the 2-3M deep water area within 2M of the fishing point near the shore. This float can be used to most clearly see the subtle changes in the float image. The disadvantage is that when the fishing point is about 4 meters away from the shore, fishermen can easily see the floating image clearly, especially the elderly and myopic fishermen, who are prone to feeling dazzled, swollen and painful.

2. Fine tail drift. This floating tail is thin, with a diameter of about 0.6-1mm. The features and shortcomings are the same as those of the thin tail.

3. Thick tail drift. This floating tail is thicker, with a diameter of about 1.5-2mm. It is mainly used in the 2-3M deep water area 4M away from the shore. This type of float eats larger amounts of lead, and because of its thick tail and high clarity, it is easier to see the float in the distance, making it suitable for fishing at a distance. The disadvantage is that it is not as sensitive as the thin tail and floats higher, and some snack openings are difficult to see, which affects the timing of raising the pole.
