Now we will give an overview of the main fishing equipment - rod, line, hook, wheel, sinker, drift

etc.

1. Fishing Rod

The fishing rod is the main part of the fishing gear. Fishing lines, fishing hooks, lead weights, floats, etc. are all matched with the fishing rod

Become one. In recent years, traditional fishing rods made of bamboo, reed rods or a mixture of bamboo and reed are basically no longer in use. They are replaced by a variety of modern fishing rods, such as fiberglass rods, carbon fiber reinforced plastic rods, etc. Rods and fishing rods made of a mixture of glass fiber and carbon fiber. The characteristics of these fishing rods are light weight, good elasticity, high toughness,

bending resistance, strong water resistance, not afraid of insects, flexible operation, exquisite and beautiful appearance. In addition, there are computerized fully automatic fishing equipment and adjustable fishing rod holders, which are very popular among fishermen.

There are three types of fishing rods: hand rods, sea rods, and hand-sea dual-purpose rods. Those above 6 meters are long poles; those below 2.5 meters are short poles; those between the two are medium-long poles. The long pole can be used for long-distance casting, which is conducive to long-term fishing for big fish. It is suitable for those who are strong and strong. The short pole is flexible to operate and light to carry. It is a suitable fishing gear for fishing near water or fish ponds, especially for elderly fishing friends. The medium-long rod has the characteristics of both long and short rods, has a wide fishing range, and is suitable for old, middle-aged and young fishermen.

When purchasing a fishing rod, you should pay attention to three things: First, the appearance is intact and without any flaws. Do not buy one with scratches, dents or deformation

; Second, the structure is tight and the accessories are complete, especially multi-section poles such as pull-out and plug-in poles. Any joints that are loose, easy to disconnect and have potential cracks cannot be used; third, the overall strength and toughness If it meets the requirements, any pole that is not strong, flexible, resistant to bending or has other signs of pole breaking will not be accepted.

If you participate in a fishing competition, you must purchase a standard fishing rod. Generally, each person has a hand rod, a sea rod, or any

choose one. For daily fishing, you can also choose your own materials and make your own fishing rods, as long as you feel comfortable using them.

2. Fishing line

The thickness of the fishing line, the tension, the degree of transparency and the quality of dyeing will directly affect the hook rate. Currently

Most of the fishing lines currently on the market are monofilament nylon lines. According to fishing needs, it should be divided into three types: one is synthetic fishing line - nylon line. Including monofilament nylon thread and multi-strand nylon thread. Monofilament nylon thread has strong tensile strength, high toughness, non-absorbent, corrosion-resistant, high transparency, and is widely used. However, when fishing in the cold season, the line will become hard and brittle; it will easily age if it is exposed to the sun for a long time. Nylon thread is soft in texture, resistant to pressure, impact, wear and cold. However, the thread

is thicker in diameter, opaque, has poor concealment, and has low tensile strength. Except for a few fishermen who use it for winter fishing, it is usually used to make cables and fish cages. , compilation of nets and fishery protection, etc.

The second is natural fiber fishing line. Including silk thread and cotton thread, which are both soft and low-temperature resistant, and are suitable threads for winter fishing.

Especially silk thread, which has a natural light yellow color, good concealment, and strong tensile strength. Use it as a brain thread, and it is generally difficult for fierce fish in light water to bite it off.

The third is metal fishing line. Including copper wire, nickel wire, etc. There are currently very few on the market and you can raise it yourself. For example, discarded copper cores

thin wires, multi-stranded telephone wires, etc. can be used after peeling off the insulation layer and taking out the filaments. They are mainly used as brain wires to suit

the fierce fishing. fish needs.

When purchasing a fishing line, it is best to actually test its tension. The method is to use a cloth bag to fill the sand, tie a thread to lift it up, and the weight of the sand when the thread is stretched is the actual tension of the thread. Compare it with the calibrated standard to determine whether it is

Qualified. In addition, roll the thread into a ball, squeeze it with both hands, and see if it can automatically recover in an instant after releasing it.

If it recovers quickly without wrinkles, it means that the thread has good flexibility. At the same time, you should also observe whether there are any flaws or loose energy.

If it is a colored floral thread, twist it with your hands to see if the color fades. After inspection, if you find signs of defective products

do not buy.

3. Fishing hooks

The basic requirements of a fishing hook are that the hook tip is sharp, the fish is powerful, the hook bar is tough and elastic, and the hook cap is suitable for tying the hook

, the hook bend is moderate, and the 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 fishing hooks and recreational fishing hooks. The former has thick hook strips and a large hook gate; the latter has thin hook strips and a small hook gate. The fishhook is composed of three parts: hook handle, hook bottom and hook tail.

4. Reel

The reel matches the sea rod and is a powerful tool for deep water and long-distance fishing. It is also an important indicator for fishing gear to reach a new level

< p>Chi. Therefore, it has attracted more and more attention from anglers.

The more representative ones include the following:

(1) Electric spinning reel

It is characterized by flexible operation, large fishing power, and Digital display, the power can be automatically turned on after the fish is hooked, thus driving the spool to automatically rotate and take in the line. But the price is very expensive, the size is large, and it is inconvenient to carry.

(2) Spinning reel

It is the most commonly used one at present. It is easy to operate, has low resistance when throwing the rod, and the speed of taking up the line is relatively fast.

The material is good-looking and low-priced, but the structure is relatively complex.

(3) Sealed reel

The working principle is the same as that of the spinning reel. A light metal shell is embedded on the top of the winding drum, leaving a cable outlet.

The characteristic is that it does not mess up the line, and it is not easy for sediment to enter, which is beneficial to protecting the fishing line and reel.

(4) Disc-type reel

Shaped like a round horseshoe watch. The advantages are that it is sturdy and durable, has great fishing power, is light in weight, and will not "pull out of the river" with fish. However, the production is rough, the rod throwing resistance is large, and it is not as flexible as the spinning wheel (this wheel system is made in Russia and is sold at the Manzhouli and Suifenhe border port trade markets).

(5) Pocket spinning reel

Made in Japan, it is a purely recreational reel and its working principle is the same as that of a spinning reel.

Small in size and light in weight, it is suitable for fishing small fish with a dual-purpose rod in hand and sea.

In addition, you can also choose wood or other materials to make your own spinning reel that you like and is suitable for.

Usually, a long pole is equipped with a large wheel, and a short pole is equipped with a small wheel. When purchasing a reel, you should test it with a rod and check every part to avoid buying defective products.

5. Fishing sinker

The main function of the fishing sinker is to rely on the angler’s throwing power to drive the bait hook to throw it from a long distance and fix it in the water area to be fished

A certain depth of water. The main varieties include sea pole pendants, hand pole pendants and heavy weight throwing weight pendants.

(1) Sea pole fall

It is divided into live fall and dead fall. The center of the former is linear and hollow, and can slide freely after being tied to the thread. It is often matched with various group hooks, with the hook in the front and the drop in the back. There is no hollow point in the dead drop, and there is a metal ring at the tail that is easy to tie the line. The drop is in front and the hook is in the back. All kinds of fish luring devices are mostly dead falls.

(2) Hand-pole falls

All are dead falls. According to the weight of the fishing buoyancy counterweight, it is mostly 0.5 to 2 grams. Some special fishing methods - poking

holes, fishing arches, fishing for catfish near the shore, etc. do not use fishing sinkers.

The customary fishing method in our country is to use a lead pendant the size of a mung bean, which is clamped 5 to 7 cm above the fishhook. It can be fished with a single hook

or with a double hook. In Taiwan, cylindrical lead pendants with metal rings at both ends are often used. According to the floating force of the fish, add or remove lead sheets (toothpaste sheets are also acceptable) on the middle posts of the two rings until they are properly matched with the floating pendant.

(3) Heavy weight throwing method

It is similar to the sea pole fall, except that the weight should be increased so that greater centrifugal force and inertia can be formed when throwing the weight

< p>Force. For this reason, heavy weights of 80 to 120 grams are generally used. When tying the pendant, a rotatable coupling can be added between the pendant and the main line. This not only facilitates disassembly, but also allows the twisted fishing line to automatically recover.

6. Fishing floats

Fishing floats are the eyes and ears of fishermen. When different fish species bite the hook, the fishing float will have different dynamic responses, thus providing information for fishermen to take corresponding measures.

At the same time, the buoyancy of the float can be used to ascertain the water depth and bottom topography, and it is also an assistant in selecting fishing positions.

The main varieties include straight bleaching, round bleaching, centipede bleaching and fluorescent bleaching. You can choose according to the strength of your eyesight, the length of the fishing rod, the characteristics of close fishing and far fishing, etc.
