I. Fishing rod
Fishing rod is the main part of fishing tackle, as well as fishing line, hook, lead pendant, float and so on. Are integrated with the fishing rod. In recent years, the traditional bamboo poles, reed poles or bamboo poles and reed poles are basically no longer used, but are replaced by various modern fishing poles, such as glass fiber reinforced plastic poles, carbon rods, glass fibers and carbon fibers. These fishing rods are characterized by light weight, good elasticity, great toughness, bending resistance, strong water resistance, no fear of moth-eaten, flexible operation and exquisite and beautiful appearance. In addition, there are computer automatic fishing devices and adjustable fishing rod racks, which are deeply loved by fishermen.
There are three kinds of fishing rods: hand rod, sea rod and hand-sea dual-purpose rod. 6 meters or more is a long pole; Short pole below 2.5 meters; In the middle is a middle pole and a long pole. Long pole can be thrown at a long distance, which is beneficial to long-term fishing of big fish and suitable for strong people. The short pole is flexible in operation and easy to carry, and is suitable for fishing near water or raising fish ponds, especially for old fishermen. The medium-long pole has the characteristics of both long pole and short pole, and has a wide fishing range, which is suitable for fishermen of all ages.
Pay attention to three levels when purchasing fishing rods: first, the appearance is intact and there are no serious injuries, scratches, pits or extrusion deformation; Second, the structure is tight, the accessories are complete, especially the multi-section rod pieces such as pull-out and plug-in, and the connection parts are loose, easy to break, and there are potential cracks; Third, the overall strength and toughness meet the requirements, and those that are not firm, flexible, flexural or have other signs of broken bars are not required.
If you take part in a fishing competition, you must buy a standard fishing rod, usually a hand rod, a sea rod or one of them. Usually fishing, you can also choose your own materials and make your own fishing rod, which is handy to use. Now I will choose a few fishing rod cases made by the author to communicate with fishing friends.
Second, fishing line.
The thickness, tension, transparency and dyeing quality of fishing line will directly affect the hook rate. At present, most fishing lines on the market are monofilament nylon lines. According to the needs of fishing, it should be divided into three types:
One is synthetic fishing line-nylon line. Include monofilament nylon thread and multi-strand nylon thread. Monofilament nylon thread has high tensile strength, high toughness, no water absorption, corrosion resistance, high transparency and wide application. But when fishing in cold season, the line will become hard and brittle;
Exposure to the sun for a long time is easy to age. Nylon thread is soft, pressure-resistant, impact-resistant, wear-resistant and cold-resistant. However, the wire diameter is thick, opaque, poor concealment and low tensile strength. Except for a few fishermen who use it for fishing in winter, it is usually used for making cables, fish cages, weaving nets and protecting fish.
The second type is natural fiber fishing line. Including silk thread and cotton thread, soft and low temperature resistant, suitable for fishing in winter. Silk thread, in particular, has natural light yellow color, good concealment and strong tensile strength. When it is used as a brain thread, it is not easy for fierce freshwater fish to bite it off.
The third is the metal fishing line. Include copper wire, nickel wire, etc. At present, there are few on the market, so you can raise them yourself. Such as discarded copper-core thin wires and multi-strand telephone lines, can be used by stripping insulation and taking out filaments, which are mainly used as brain wires to meet the needs of catching fierce fish.
When buying fishing line, you'd better actually test its tension. The method is to put sand in a cloth bag, tie the line and hang it. The weight of sand when the thread is broken is the actual tension of the thread, which is compared with the calibrated standard to judge whether it is qualified or not. In addition, knead the thread into a ball and squeeze it with both hands. After loosening, see if it can automatically recover instantly and quickly without wrinkles, indicating that the line is elastic. At the same time, we should also observe whether there is any hard injury or looseness. If it is a colored thread, twist it by hand to see if it fades. After inspection, don't buy it as long as there are signs of defective products.
Third, the fishhook
The basic requirements of a fishing hook are that the hook tip is sharp, the fishbone is firm, the hook strip is tough and elastic, the hook cap is suitable for hanging, the hook curvature is moderate, and the included angle between the barb and the hook body should be between 25 and 30.
According to the purpose of use, it can be divided into two categories: productive hooks and recreational hooks. The former has a thick hook and a large hook door; The latter has thin hook strips and small hook doors. The fishhook consists of a hook handle, a hook bottom and a hook tail.
Fourth, the scroll
The reel with sea pole is a sharp weapon for deep-water fishing and an important symbol for fishing tackle to climb to a new level. Therefore, more and more attention has been paid by fishermen.
More representative, there are the following:
(1) electric reel
It is characterized by flexible operation, strong fishing power and digital display. After the fish is hooked, it can automatically turn on the power supply, thus driving the spool to automatically rotate and take up the line. But it is expensive, bulky and inconvenient to carry.
(2) Rotating the scroll
It is a common application at present. The operation is simple, the throwing resistance is small, the take-up speed is fast and the price is cheap, but the structure is complicated.
(3) seal the reel
Its working principle is the same as that of a spinning reel. A light metal shell is embedded in the top of the winding disk, leaving a wire outlet hole. It is characterized by no line disorder, and sediment is not easy to enter, which is conducive to protecting fishing lines and spools.
(4) Disc reel
A watch shaped like a round horseshoe. Its advantages are durability, strong fishing ability, light weight and no tug-of-war with fish. However, it is not as flexible as a spinning wheel because of its rough production and high resistance to throwing poles (this kind of gear train is made in Russia and sold in Manzhouli and Suifenhe border trade markets).
(5) Pocket scroll
Made in Japan, pure entertainment reel works the same as dynamic reel.
Small size and light weight, suitable for fishing small fish with hand-sea dual-purpose pole.
In addition, you can also choose wood or other materials to make your favorite and applicable scrolls.
Usually, a long pole with a big wheel and a short pole with a small wheel. When buying a reel, you should match the pole test and check all the parts to avoid buying defective products.
V. Decline in fishing
The function of the fishing sinker is mainly to drive the bait hook to throw far by the throwing force of the fisherman and fix it at a certain water depth level in the waters to be fished. The main varieties are sea pole drop, hand pole drop and throwing weight drop.
(1) sea pole falling
There are live drops and dead drops. The center of the former is a hollow line, which can slide freely after tying the line, and it is equipped with various sets of hooks, and the front hook falls back. The dead drop is not hollowed out, and there is a metal ring at the tail, which is easy to tie and hook before falling. Most of all kinds of fish traps are dead drops.
(2) The hand lever falls off
It's all a dead end According to the buoyancy of fishing, the weight is 0.5 ~ 2g. Some special fishing methods-hole poking, arch fishing, catfish fishing near the shore, etc. -Don't use fishing weights.
Our country is used to fishing, and we often use a lead pendant the size of mung bean, which is clamped 5 ~ 7 cm above the hook and can be used for single hook fishing or double hook fishing. In Taiwan Province Province, cylindrical lead pendants with metal rings at both ends are often used. According to the floating force of fishing, increase or decrease the lead skin (toothpaste skin can also be used) on the middle column of the two rings until it matches the floating properly.
(3) Serious fall caused by throwing heavy objects
It is similar to throwing on a sea pole, but the weight should be increased to form greater centrifugal force and inertia force when throwing heavy objects. For this reason, the weight of 80 ~ 120g is generally selected. When tying, a rotatable coupler can be added between the drop line and the main line, which is not only convenient to disassemble, but also can automatically restore the twisted fishing line.
Six, fishing rafting
Fishing and drifting are the eyes and ears of fishermen. Different fish species have different dynamic responses when biting the hook, which provides information for fishermen to take corresponding measures. At the same time, with the help of the buoyancy of drifting, we can find out the general situation of water depth and underwater landform, and it is also an aid to choose fishing position.
The main varieties are direct bleaching, round bleaching, centipede bleaching and fluorescent bleaching. You can choose according to your eyesight, the length of fishing rod and the characteristics of near fishing and far fishing.
