Complete Guide to Sea Rod Fishing Techniques In modern fishing activities, the sea rod is the most frequently used and most powerful fishing tool besides the hand rod. Below I bring you a complete collection of sea pole fishing techniques, hoping it will be helpful to all fishing friends.

(1) Preparation of fishing gear for sea pole fishing

From the perspective of recreational fishing, fishing gear standards should be popular, economical and practical. Each set The fishing tackle combination costs 100 to 300 yuan.

1. Rods

Mainly made of fiberglass rods, supplemented by domestic ordinary carbon rods. Their quality mainly depends on the brand. The author's experience is that the quality of products marked with formal factory names and trademarks is generally guaranteed. The optimal length of the rod is 3 meters, and it can be cast sixty or seventy meters away when fishing in large reservoirs. It has strong wind resistance and can easily walk big fish. The hardness is 37 or 46. A rod that is too hard will firstly have poor hand feel; secondly, the line will be easily broken or broken during the process of throwing the rod or walking fish; thirdly, the rod will be easy to observe. The tip of the rod is less sensitive when detecting fish signals. The length between the end of the rod handle and the upper wheel is preferably about one foot, which is convenient for casting the rod and casting far.

2. Wheels

Wheels are the "heart" of the sea pole. From an economical and practical point of view, you can buy medium-sized wheels with 2 to 4 bearings. Choose the brand. . The author’s experience is that a higher speed ratio is easier to use, especially in waters with complex terrain where it is difficult to hook up. A ratio of 1 to 4.5 or more is sufficient. A thicker wheel body can enhance fishing power. A line diameter of 0.3mm and a length of 150 meters is sufficient for accumulating the line ( There are reports that a fishing friend who caught a medium-sized fish did not surrender the big fish even after putting out 200 meters of line. This was related to poor fish walking skills.) As for whether the pressure release device is better in front or behind, the author’s practice is It is easier to use later, especially to adjust the tightness in time after catching medium and large fish.

3. Fishing line

The requirements for fishing line are lower than those for hand rods. If you often fish with sea rods, you don’t need to spend extra money to buy high-end lines, because fishing with sea rods The key technique lies not in whether the line is firm or not, but in the technique of retracting and releasing the line after hitting the fish (i.e. walking the fish). The wires commonly used by the author are domestic brands of 0.3mm~0.40mm, and the overall quality is good. Here is a way to save line, that is, first wrap thirty to fifty meters of old line at the bottom of the wheel, and then tie and wind the new line. In this way, the wheel can be almost full, and the rod can be thrown out quickly. In case the new line is not enough for walking fish, it can also be used as a Urgent need. As for the idea of ??changing the line twice every year or two, I think there is no need to change the line as long as the quality of the line purchased is up to standard. It is common for sea pole fishermen to use one line for three to five years. It is almost common for medium and large fish to break the line. No.

4. Hooks

Mainly explosive hooks, the hook strips are required to be hard and tough, neither brittle nor soft, the hook tip is sharp, and the hook shape is with the width of the hook door? Iseni? , 1,000 and 1,000 and so on are better, and larger ones are better, such as , Iseni, 8 and above, 1, 1,000 and 1, and above.

5. Pendant

There are two ratios of pendants. When used on explosive hooks, the weight of 50 grams is appropriate (heavy pendants can stabilize the bait and keep it from leaving the hook). The pendant shape A flat one is better; when used on a string hook, a weight of 30 grams is suitable. A cone-shaped one with a handle is suitable for the falling shape, and it runs smoothly when thrown.

The sea pole explosive hook and sinker combination can directly penetrate the pendant into the main line to become a movable pendant, which can effectively improve the sensitivity when fish bites the hook. The string hook pendant is tied into a hook and dropped, which not only runs smoothly when casting the rod, but also delivers fish news quickly. It is best to use three hooks for the number of hooks. Most of them are five or six hooks on the market. They are relatively expensive and nearly 1 meter long. They are large when the waterside terrain is complex. Moreover, the ratio of the thickness of the main line to the hook line is often different. Improper matching (the main line is too thick, the mouth line is too thin); the line is prone to breakage when walking fish. Sometimes after catching the fish, an empty hook hangs on the bottom, and the hooked fish is missed. You can buy loose hooks and tie them by yourself. Strung together

It only costs about 1 yuan.

(2) Selection of sea pole fishing spots

There are two significant differences between sea pole fishing and hand pole fishing: one is that there are more poles, and the other is that the fishing point is far away , which determines that the choice of fishing spots is different from that of hand rods.

In natural waters, the wide waters and long shorelines bring convenience to the selection of sea pole fishing spots. According to the author’s experience, the following waters can be used as fishing spots with sea poles:

1. Deep waters with high ridges

In seasons with high temperatures, it is easiest to fish with sea poles in deep water Catch big fish. Under normal circumstances, in a reservoir blocked by a ravine, the water under the high ridges on both sides is in the shape of a deep pool. As long as you cast it out a few dozen meters away, the bottom terrain is gentle, and there are few obstacles for hooking. And because of the water depth, even if you are fishing with a net, It is difficult to catch fish due to electric contact, so there is less human interference. It is most suitable for making large nests and fishing for the medium and long term. If you are a fisherman who only goes fishing once or twice a week or returns on the same day, it is best not to go fishing in these waters. Because it is slow to launch a nest, by the time the fish enters the nest, it is already time to close the rod and go home. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time? ?

　2. Broad shoals

The so-called shoals: one is a flat shoal that is flooded at the end of the dry season when the water is high; the other is a large grassy shoal or farmland that is newly submerged during the high water period. The water level of the former type is usually two to three meters in summer and autumn, which is most suitable for sea pole fishing. These waters are where big fish often move and stay, so fishing with explosive hooks is the best choice. From mid-late autumn to early winter, if you use a sea pole to fish with string hooks, it is most likely to catch large crucian carp, and the hook will bite very quickly. Moreover, in newly submerged shallow water areas, because a large amount of food is swept in from the land, special attention must be paid not to miss the new rising water. In the first week of the season, when you take advantage of the turbid water color to get off the pole, all kinds of fish will swarm in, including large river loach, giant catfish weighing several to ten kilograms, and even large grass carp weighing several dozen kilograms. For fishing scaleless fish, shrimps and earthworms hung on string hooks are most effective. However, when the water color becomes clear, the fish here will break up and the fishing effect will be poor.

3. Deep water area at the foot of the dam

The deepest water level of the dam is home to many big fish, so fishing with a sea rod is of great use here.

Looking at the overall situation, in order to achieve good harvests when fishing with sea rods in the deep waters at the foot of the dam, it is very important to build a nest with heavy bait. Of course, this must be based on reality. If you have time to stay for a long time, you can go Such waters are suitable for pole fishing; on the contrary, it is better to choose shallower waters as sea pole fishing spots.

4. Flowing water area

Almost all reservoirs and lakes have ditches and culverts that inject water into them, thus forming larger slow-flowing waters. Over time, it has become an important place for fish to move and feed. The real reason is that the old saying "when the water moves, the fish move", because the water moves, the amount of dissolved oxygen is sufficient, and the fish have the characteristics of flowing, so there are more fish gathering. If you lower your rod here during the flood period, the fish will be in the best condition and the fish will be caught quickly. It is better to fish with string hooks; if you use explosive bait, you must cast the hook to both sides, otherwise the hook and bait will easily be separated due to the water flow. , no fish will bite the hook.

5. Special waters

The so-called special waters mainly refer to:

First, the underwater terrain is complex, such as steep slopes or slopes of 10 to 20 degrees. This kind of terrain is the favorite place for big carp to move because of its gravel and hard mud. Generally, few people go fishing, and the fish situation is relatively stable. You can use string hooks to fish. Most of the fish caught are larger individuals, and once they make a nest, You will catch several fish in a row, but you need to make a nest to lure fish before fishing to achieve good results.

The second is where there are weeds. There are often big fish undercover in the aquatic plants. In addition to single or double hooks with thick lines, you can also use hard poles, thick lines, and big hooks to throw explosive hook baits. Often, There are unexpected surprises.

Third, grass carp, carp, and crucian carp are most likely to gather in newly submerged rice fields. The fishing point only needs to be a few meters away from the shore. The effect of using explosive hooks is better. When fishing, put the hook bait directly into the gaps between the rice fields. Just anywhere.

(3) Techniques for sea pole fishing

Once you have completed the preparations, you can start fishing. You need to pay attention to the following from the beginning of baiting:

Casting the pole

Regarding the skills of sea rod throwing, the author puts forward some practical experiences for fishing friends’ reference.

First, when throwing explosive bait, the optimal distance from the rod tip to the hook bait line is about 80 cm. This is because if it is too long, it is easy to throw too high and the landing point is too close; if it is too short, the inertial force is insufficient and the throwing is inaccurate, thus affecting the fishing effect.

The second is rod throwing. There are three commonly used methods (shoulder throwing, front throwing, and side throwing). In comparison, the author believes that the shoulder throwing method is the best method. Its advantages are: the landing point is accurate, the error is within a radius of one or two meters, and it can throw a distance of fifty or sixty meters with just a medium force; it can adapt to complex terrain , low environment, improve the fishing range of the sea pole.

Thirdly, when throwing string hooks, they are often thrown right into the nest. Fishing may not be fast, but the effect will be better if thrown to both sides. This is because big fish do not dare to rush into the nest and swim to the sides. the result. Sometimes you don’t need to make a nest when fishing with string hooks, and you don’t need to emphasize accurate casting. You just need to cast farther away. In the future, when there is no fish news, you can reel in a few meters of line every few minutes, and use the tactic of actively dragging bait to find fish, which often works. . If no fish bites the hook after pulling it to ten or twenty meters, it is necessary to cast the rod again.

Fourth, you must master the correct method when throwing the rod, and use solid bait to ensure that the tip of the hook is not exposed.

Several kinds of fish news

Since the signal transmission of the sea rod is close at hand, the fishermen’s observation and judgment are labor-saving and accurate. When fishing for explosive bait, when fish weighing less than 500 grams bite the hook, the rod tip will often shake slightly or click a few times, or it will flatten again after being pulled violently. Some of the rod tip will also appear to be looped back, but rarely will it be tightened again. Big fish will tremble more intensely when biting the hook, and then pull the rod tip quickly and violently, with a larger amplitude. Big fish weighing 2 to 3 kilograms and above rarely have emergency tremors of the rod tip. The most obvious manifestation is that the rod tip is heavier. Then press down slowly. If you don't lift the pole at this moment, you will often pull the pole continuously during the downward bending process. Some even pull the tip of the pole until it touches the water, or even worse, lift the bracket and drag the pole away. If a fisherman is dedicated to fishing and raises the rod in time when he detects the above signals, he can almost 100% catch fish. Compared with the explosive bait fishing method, the fish signal of string hooks is somewhat different. When small fish bite the hook, the rod tip shakes very fast. If a bell is installed on the rod, the sound will be rapid. If the rod is not raised, most of them will return. Line, raise the pole immediately and there is still a fish. If the line does not return and there is no movement, it is likely that the fish has swam away. When encountering a big fish, it may even happen that the hooked fish jumps out of the water in an instant and disappears. When fishing at night, I slept and missed the fish news. When I checked, I found that the line was tight and the rod tip was slightly curved. It must be a big fish on the hook. Another situation is that the moment the big fish is hooked, it rushes away due to fright, and the fisherman loses his money before he has time to make a living.

Fish walking

The author’s principle is to control big fish within 15 meters of the shore. There are three reasons for this:

First, it can effectively avoid obstacles in the water.

Secondly, it can protect the fish from human disturbance on the shore;

Thirdly, it can fully exert and protect the strength of the fishing line.

It is necessary to control the fish to be walked in the middle and upper layers of the water, so that the fish is not frightened from beginning to end. If you walk the fish on the water surface, the probability of breaking the line or decoupling is higher, so this should be avoided. You cannot put a racing line while walking fish, that is, open the line loop and let the line fly. Not only will the line be easily messed up, but the fish's mouth will be decoupled due to sudden loosening of the line. It is best to be familiar with the force release device and improve its use skills. The author's method is, After catching a big fish weighing more than a few kilograms, quickly adjust the knob to 1 kilogram to catch all fish regardless of size.
