I understand the feelings of novices. Most people may not want to answer such a question, so I will give you a few words for reference only. You'd better start with a 3.6-meter, medium-grade rod. You choose this length because it's easier to throw because it's shorter, and it helps develop your standardization of throwing the rod. You choose the same price because you can continue to use it if your interest increases without looking too obvious. Too many times, and not easy to break. As for the brand, you can decide it yourself, so as not to be suspected of advertising. And don’t forget to buy a medium-priced one. Hook

Hook - I only use imported hooks without barbs. I think you must not be careless when choosing hooks for hand-pole fishing! Steel, sharpness, toughness, hook shape, number, every step must be carefully selected. Didn’t you see, “Small hooks can catch big fish, but big hooks cannot catch small fish!” “The flesh on a barbed hook will show blood, and the flesh on a barbless hook will turn red.” My first hook was the Iseni No. 4 hook with barbs. The hooks left scars everywhere on my hands and clothes, and the threads were broken.

After fishing for a long time, I really found a hook that is most suitable for me, Qianqiu Jinxixi 3#-5#. I am a wild fisher, so I can fish any kind of fishing ground. If I encounter it, I usually use a #4 hook to test fish, and then choose whether to use a #3 or a #5 hook based on the fish species I catch. Don’t underestimate this small fishhook, how much you harvest in a day may be just a thought of yours!

Thread

Go to a fishing gear store and wow, there are so many varieties of threads, which can be roughly divided into nylon There are five types of single strand wire, nylon rubber wire, carbon fiber wire, live wire, and ceramic wire. I am also very confused as to which line is better. Don’t laugh. I know which line to choose for fishing. It would be better to use carbon fiber line for the hand pole! Let’s take a look at the introduction of this kind of thread – “its surface layer has been treated with special high-precision molecules. This kind of thread is sun-resistant, very resistant to aging, and has a particularly high specific gravity. The carbon thread sinks quickly in water and has excellent water cutting properties.” , the light refractive index in the water is extremely low, so in competitive competitions, this kind of line is often used as the main line. "For wild fishing, it is enough to choose a main line of size 0.6-2.0, if you just want to catch big fish. That's another matter. Now that the main line has been chosen, how to choose the sub-line? I think the sub-threads should be softer and have a wire diameter ratio (main line: sub-thread = 2:1). As long as the wire reel is marked with sub-series from a regular manufacturer, you can choose it!

Instructions for rolling sub-threads: (Excerpt - take the cellophane from the outer packaging of cigarettes, carefully bite the hook of the curled sub-thread with your teeth (in fact, it is hanging), and then roll the sub-thread from 8 Straighten the word ring with force, use cellophane (stack several layers) to pinch the sub-thread (thumb and index finger), rub the sub-thread quickly and repeatedly until your fingers feel hot, take away the cellophane, do not loosen the thread at this time, keep 3~5 seconds, then let go, the sub-line has returned to its original state!)

I have used more than ten brands of fishing lines in the past few years, but they have always been unsatisfactory, so I used Ewang’s. After the octagonal and sinking lines, I really can’t fault it! You will definitely say that I am advertising again - wrong! These two lines have high strength, high toughness, specially designed octagonal water resistance and submersible properties, which meet all my fishing needs. They are really easy to use! I did a small experiment and randomly checked one of the indicators - wire diameter, and it was really good! This kind of thread is affordable and of excellent quality. You don’t need to make detours and waste money anymore!

Buoys

Buoys are the eyes of fishermen. Through its sinking, floating, shaking and pause, fishermen can clearly perceive the fish eating bait underwater. Choosing a buoy with good physical properties is tantamount to finding a good helper. It not only improves sensitivity, but also eliminates eye fatigue with clear vision, allowing you to observe targets more accurately. The Taiwan fishing method takes "adjust four meshes and fish two meshes" as the basic standard. Without a good buoy, it will fail to meet the basic requirements of Taiwan fishing!

What is a good mark? Is the one with the higher price the best? I don't agree with this statement! Workmanship is one aspect and the foundation, but the most important thing is that it should suit you! When you find a good love ball that you are satisfied with, you have to give your spirituality to this love ball. You have to feel her with your heart. Her every smile should be able to touch your heart. When you can connect with her soul Even if you understand her, you can understand her! There are some actions that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. As long as you can grasp it, you will have a unique good bird in the world!

Having said that, I want to talk about my two most cherished symbols - Aya and Adou.

Aya - I jokingly call her "Water Ballerina", she brings me the enjoyment of art, every movement is so standard - point, tremble, jump are all so perfect. , float, sink, stop, all are so wonderful! It really held my heart and pulled my soul, it was so wonderful!

A Dou——I jokingly call her the "Eternal Ghost Girl"! The workmanship is exquisite and the models are reasonable. Each model is endowed with the soul of the creator. The one I have is 1214 Bald fir, with long tail, medium-long body and medium-long legs. Let’s take a look at Mr. Xu’s intention in creating it – “Even turning speed, good stability, and few false mouths. Suitable for fishing the middle and lower interface. When fishing for slippery fish, increase the fishing height...” Not only does the fish drift when eating bait The reaction is very obvious, and the float rises and falls with the water waves at the drop of a hat. When the fish takes the bait, the movement of the float is extremely exaggerated. Even if the rod is lifted slightly slowly, the fish will not spit out the hook. The fish just holds the hook and rises and falls unconsciously. It reacts truly to the interface signals at the middle and bottom layers, and is good at catching interface fish and large crucian carp at the bottom. The entrance signals are extremely accurate.

It is suitable for fishing large crucian carp and slippery fish in reservoirs and ponds. It is an extremely sensitive float. I can't fully understand this mark at my current level, but I will still slowly feel it!

Rod

There are only two kinds of hand rods that I know of - stream rods and Taiwan fishing rods

Stream rods are generally short-jointed, and one rod is made of It consists of more than ten sections. Although it has soft tonality and low hardness, it is cheap and suitable for fishing small crucian carp, small white stripes and other fish species. When encountering big fish, it often joints or breaks the rod. It is commonly used by novices and some junior enthusiasts. The first pole I bought was a 5.4-meter Baixi. When I first learned to fish, I took it to the Baihe River to fish every morning. I could bend my bow to catch a small crucian carp. It brought me too much. Happiness, although it has been broken twice, I have never been willing to throw it away. Even if it is broken, it will always stay with me. It can be regarded as a mark of that beautiful memory!

Taiwanese fishing rods are generally long-sectioned, and the price is on the high side. The length of a single section is generally between 80-120CM. Taiwanese fishing rods are rods for enthusiasts and are divided into (crucian carp rods, carp rods, and competitive rods). pole, fighting pole, etc.).

Current carp rod is my favorite. It is light, thin and smart. You will not be tired after fishing for a day. Carp rod is slightly harder than crucian carp rod, and the same brand is 10-10 times heavier than crucian carp rod. - 30 grams, but it is easy to catch big fish; the competition rod is lighter and harder than the carp rod, suitable for competitions or fast fishing, and the price is very high; the fighting rod is the favorite of super enthusiasts! It is divided into 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, etc. The larger the number, the harder it is. It is generally used for flying fish or quickly catching medium and large fish. The styles of Taiwanese fishing rods are divided into two types: parallel type and vibrating type. They have good tonality, high hardness, and high price, which are difficult for ordinary working-class fishing friends to accept!

This year, in order to promote the popularization of domestically produced high-quality fishing rods, Longwanghen Group Company has produced a brand new high-quality Taiwanese fishing rod. The fishing rods produced by Ewang are moderately priced and of excellent quality, allowing tens of millions of fishermen to personally feel the charm of high-quality fishing rods! Make our dreams come true!

Still the same sentence: only choose the right one, not the expensive one! Please choose the fishing rod that best suits you based on your financial strength, physical condition, and fishing ground conditions!

Bait

I don’t dare to speak without years of research on how to use bait, let alone me who is just starting out! Because of the constant changes in fish conditions, water conditions, and weather, the bait used must also change accordingly! Those of us who mainly focus on leisure fishing should not go too far and study the bait in depth, otherwise you will get stuck in it and be exhausted. As long as you master the basic bait properties and proportions of commonly used baits, it is enough!

The following should be common sense:

Commercial baits: dragon bait series, lazy bait series, etc., which can be purchased according to the species and season you are fishing.

Drawing powder, Long 5, Lazy 5: Increase the hook holding ability of the bait. The adding ratio of Long 5 and Lazy 5 is easier to control, and I use them more.

Snowflake powder: Increases the atomization effect of the bait, reduces the proportion of the bait, and improves the palatability of the bait. It should be a must-have for fishing!

Shrimp powder: dried and crushed at low temperature, it can increase the fishy smell of the bait and attract fish quickly, but pay attention to the amount of addition. How much small miscellaneous fish should be added or not added. When fishing for small crucian carp, add more for small carp. When fishing for big crucian carp, add less for big carp, add more when the temperature is low, and add less when the temperature is high.

Amino acid: It is an essential nutrient for the growth of fish. Most fishes prefer it. It is mainly used to improve the palatability and desire of fish. In winter, it is cold and the air pressure is low in summer. Speaking can do wonders.

Competitive fishermen are also great chefs who prepare and open bait, but how do we amateur fishermen cook a delicious meal for the fish? As long as we remember the following points, it will not be too bad! In early spring, late autumn, and winter, fish like to eat bait with high animal protein content in order to store energy in the body for the winter. Shrimp meal and fishy-smelling bait are generally the main bait. In late spring, summer, and early autumn, fish prefer We like to eat natural, light, and natural crop food to balance the nutrients needed in the body. We mostly use the aroma of grains and natural flavors as the main bait. If the fish is still not eating well, you can add some small medicines appropriately, but the state of the bait is still the most important, such as softness, hardness, atomization degree, etc. Don’t pursue the mysterious formula, just open the bait in your hand well. You will definitely catch fish!

My level is not high and I never dare to mix complicated baits for fear of turning into strange-flavored beans. I usually only choose less than 3 types of bait from the same manufacturer to mix and prepare, coarse and fine, loose and sticky. The compound flavor does not match the musky flavor, and the taste type should be kept consistent as much as possible! I feel that choosing only one kind of bait to start baiting is also the wisest choice for novices!

It is really difficult to prepare bait, so let’s leave this problem to the masters in the forum! Check out the ready-made recipes on the website and have fun!

Accessories

The main accessories for Taiwan fishing include space beans, figure eight rings, floating seats, lead bases, and lead sheets.

Space beans: You should choose black and slender ones. Generally, I would not choose colored space beans. It is said that fish will mistake colored space beans for bait and suck them. Remember to follow the line number to choose the model of Space Bean.

Eight-shaped rings: All eight-shaped rings from famous manufacturers are available, depending on the strength.

Floating seat: The streamlined black one is better, and the one made of anti-aging rubber is better.

Lead skin seat: Please choose the appropriate model of lead skin seat according to the drift number. It is better to be longer than shorter. The thinner the lead skin roll, the smaller the water resistance.

Lead sheet: I generally don’t use the lead sheet sold in fishing gear stores. This kind of lead sheet is not made of pure lead. It is usually added with alloys, which is harder and less dense than pure lead. I use lead plates to roll them myself. Chemical plants can usually find lead plates to make oxidation electrodes. Cut into small strips, pound into thin slices with a hammer, and cut to appropriate width and length with scissors. Do it yourself and have endless fun!

Note: Now there is an environmentally friendly lead sheet with glue on one side on the market, and we encourage everyone to use it!

Auxiliary equipment

Taiwan fishing auxiliary equipment is said to be auxiliary, but in fact it is useless without any of it! Let’s take a closer look at what’s included – fishing platform, fishing box, rod hanger, fishing net, fishing rod bag, fish protection bag, parasol, fish protection, hook remover, main line sub-line box, drift box, Hats, fishing vests, sun protection clothing, I’m so dizzy that I can’t even count them, why are there so many! Let’s look at the bright treasure in the last picture!

Fishing Methods

When I first learned suspension fishing, I was confused. I didn’t understand anything about finding the bottom, adjusting the float, pulling bait, or pressing the line. After reading a lot of articles, With my little cleverness, I figured out a little bit of knowledge, and coupled with the careful guidance of forum experts, I made rapid progress. If we fishermen want to make rapid progress, we need three things - humility, patience and carefulness! One of my colleagues loves fishing. It is precisely because of the lack of these three things that he has been fishing for five years, but he never knows where to find the bottom every time he fishes. It is easy to imagine what he catches.

I will describe my fishing process, and you can help me improve!

It is a critical step to first equip a reasonable fishing rig (please see picture 1). The first step when we get to the water is to find an ideal fishing spot. I have a lazy way to find a place with a lot of abandoned objects on the ground and a lot of holes on the ground as a fishing spot. This kind of spot must be a good fishing spot, otherwise There won’t be so many people coming. Even if it’s not a good fishing spot in theory, it will naturally become a good fishing spot if there are more people fishing! It is an unchanging rule to first look for the bottom when fishing. This has two advantages (detecting the bottom situation and having a better idea when adjusting the drift). I usually use a hook to hang plasticine to find the bottom. If you hit a few more rods in the front, back, left, and right, you will have a better understanding. Fishing spot conditions. Now that the bottom has been found, let’s start adjusting the float. Move the buoy down 20 centimeters and then trim the lead skin so that the sight mark is 4 eyes above the water. Remember to press the line and enter the water before adjusting. The 4 items called out may be false. How to identify them? Press the rod several times to let the tail of the mark completely enter the water, and then let the tail of the mark float slowly up to see if it is still 4 mesh. If you patiently adjust the accurate mesh number, it will be adjusted. Lower the hook and rub the big bait, then hook up without bait and adjust the buoy until two eyes are above the water surface. The whole process is completed. You can do this process several times more. Once the float is adjusted, your nest is also ready. Kill two birds with one stone!

Eating fish

Fishermen generally don’t like to eat fish. Maybe they are too tired after fishing and don’t like to clean up the fish.

I love eating fish, big and small.

Fish is rich in protein. Eating more fish can help weak people recover and improve their immunity. Fish contains EPA And DHA can lower blood lipids and protect against the threat of heart disease. My favorite food is definitely the fat-headed fish. Bighead carp is also called fat-headed fish. It is a high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol fish. Regular consumption can warm the stomach, relieve dizziness, improve IQ, aid memory, delay aging, and moisturize the skin. . Crucian carp has many spines and is mostly eaten in soup, but don’t let the big crucian carp go!

Wouldn’t it be even more delicious if you could cook the fish you caught and feed it to your family?

Fishing and Life

Those who love fishing must be those who love life! But it is not easy to handle the relationship between fishing and life! If you want to develop your own hobbies, you must first deal with the people and things in your life! Remember! Remember! Otherwise you will not be a happy fisherman!

My motto is - happy life, happy fishing!

In fact, if we want to live happily, we must take good care of our spiritual world!

When we are materially rich, we must not treat our own spirit badly. Only in this way can we live happily.
