Tilapia is an economic fish introduced from China. It originated in Africa and is commonly known as Vietnamese fish, Wu Guoyu fish, Fushou fish and so on. The shape and individual size are similar to those of crucian carp, so it is often called "African crucian carp", which is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan.

Floating selection

1, long body, short feet and short tail bleaching: tilapia can be bleached with long body, short feet and short tail. This kind of float is characterized by quick turnover, good stability and few false mouths. Suitable for fishing raw or slippery, fast or slow fish, bottom fishing or floating fishing, especially bottom fishing slippery fish, the most classic.

2. Short body, long legs and long tail drift: You can use short body, long legs and long tail drift to catch tilapia. This drift is characterized by early turning, slow turning and long distance. Not suitable for catching fast-running fish or fish with a good mouth, but most suitable for dealing with fish with a light mouth or a small mouth, such as the big tilapia with a slow mouth.

Bleaching method

1, adjust four eyes to catch two eyes: adjust four eyes to catch two eyes, which is suitable for fishing small tilapia. When adjusting and bleaching, first lay heavy lead to find the bottom, then trim the lead skin with half water to make it flat, then pull and float to expose four eyes, and finally hang bait to pull and float just to expose two eyes. At this point, the double hook is undercover and the hook touches the bottom.

2. Horizontal fishing for two eyes: Horizontal fishing for two eyes is suitable for fishing large tilapia. When adjusting and bleaching, first find the bottom of the lead weight, then trim and level the lead skin with half water, then pull and bleach it to make it level, and finally hang the bait and pull and bleach just to show your eyes. At this time, the double hook is lying on the bottom of the water.

3. Adjust three eyes to catch two eyes: adjust three eyes to catch two eyes, which is suitable for fishing spots with mud. When adjusting and bleaching, first use heavy lead to find the bottom, then use half water to trim the lead skin to make it flat, and then pull it to expose three eyes. Finally, I hung the bait and pulled the float just to show my eyes. At this time, the lower hook of the double hook touches the bottom and the hook is lifted off the bottom.
