The line for snakehead fishing can be multi-strand nylon line or development silk with a diameter of 0.5 mm, such as the thickness of sole line. Generally speaking, snakehead fishing less than 2 kg will not be broken, and snakehead fishing more than 2 kg will be easily broken.
If you use a multi-strand nylon thread as thick as the sole line, it is not easy to break the line when fishing about 4 kilograms of snakehead. The length of the line needs 4 ~ 7 meters, and the length of the line can also be determined according to the depth of the specific river.
2. Inserts
Inserts can be made of bamboo chips. The length of the insert is about 20 cm, the width is 2.5 cm, and the thickness is about 1 cm. One end of the insert is pointed for easy insertion into the soil. In addition, you can choose a branch, which is 20 cm long and as thick as a thumb. Sharpen one end of the branch with a knife, and then tie one end of the snakehead fishing line to the insert or the branch, and the other end of the line only needs to tie the hook.
3. Hook for snakehead fishing
It is best to use a strong long-handled hook for snakehead fishing. The long handle hook is convenient for developing silk or thick nylon thread hook. People should check the hook when tying it. The hook that is too soft or breaks with hands is not suitable for snakehead fishing.
When tying the hook, you must tie the line firmly, so that the snakehead is not easy to unhook when hooked, because once hooked, the snakehead will struggle desperately. It is enough to use domestic long-handled hooks to catch snakehead.
4, the choice of bait
There are many baits for snakehead fishing, such as small fish, shrimp, frog and loach. First of all, choose live eel or loach, as thick as the middle finger or little finger of an adult. Remove their heads and tails, then cut them into a section of about 3 cm with scissors, and the internal organs can be removed or not, and then hook the fish hook on the eel section, and the hook tip is exposed.
Most snakeheads are caught with eel segments. Because eel segments are hard and hard to take off on the hook, snakeheads especially like to eat, so they often catch 0.5~4 kg of snakeheads. Using eel or loach as bait can not only catch snakehead, but also catch some other carnivorous fish, such as soft-shelled turtle and river eel.
Live loach catches snakehead better. Choose a small live loach with a length of about 5 cm, hook it on the tail of the loach, and fix a lead pendant of about 80 g at 8 cm away from the hook on the fishing line, or replace the lead pendant with a screw cap. Fishing snakehead with live loach is more troublesome than fishing snakehead with eel, but the effect is better.

Living habits of snakehead:
Black snakehead is a freshwater benthic fish, which usually inhabits the waters with overgrown aquatic plants or muddy sediments, and is distributed in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, paddy fields and other waters. It has strong adaptability to environmental factors in water, especially to dissolved oxygen, water temperature and water quality.
When the water is short of oxygen, it can breathe on the water surface with the help of the auxiliary respiratory organs of the suprabranchial cavity. The snakehead can survive at the water temperature of 0~4 1℃, and 16~30℃ is the optimum temperature for the growth, development and reproduction of snakehead. When the water temperature returns to above 8℃ in spring, it usually moves in the middle and upper water bodies;
In summer, snakehead mostly moves in the upper water; When the temperature is lower than 6℃ in autumn, the snakehead swims slowly and often lurks in the depths of the water layer. When the water temperature is close to 0℃ in winter, it will be buried in silt for the winter. Because snakehead has a strong jumping ability, it often escapes. Hot weather, rain impact and rising water will all cause snakehead to escape.
