First,improper ratio of drift and fall

Crucian carp is a bottom fish, under normal climatic conditions, bottom fishing should be done. If the float falls lightly, the bait can only hang in a certain water layer. Not only will it be hopeless to fish for crucian carp, but also small trash fish will be fiercely hooked. In fishing clubs, the float will shake up and down frequently, and sometimes there will be similar crucian bites. Fake drifting phase of the hook. On the contrary, if the sinker is small and heavy, and the sinker lies on the bottom of the water, even if the crucian bites, it is reflected in the drift phase, which is slightly lagging behind the sensitive drift phase of the drift sink. Therefore, in the above two situations, there will undoubtedly be too many empty poles.

 

Countermeasures: Use No. 1.5 strong thin nylon thread, pill No. 8 hook, light drop, and fine tail float to form a fishing group. Before fishing, the bucket is filled with water to adjust the float, and the weight of the lead sinker is increased or decreased to achieve the requirement that the empty hook (single hook) touches the bottom lightly, hangs vertically in the water, and the tip of the float is flush with the water surface. In the implementation of fishing, according to personal preferences, the float can fish for 1 to 3 meshes. As long as the rod is lifted according to the correct method, the phenomenon of empty rod will be significantly reduced.

 

Second, the timing of raising the pole is wrong

Generally, in the following situations, it can be considered that the timing of lifting the rod is wrong; the float is in the process of being sent up; waiting for the float to be sent up and lying down; when the float is sent up and down, the sinking and undulating movements are large, and it can basically be judged when the small fish is caught. . In the above "opportunity" to raise the pole, occasionally will fish, but the vast majority is empty pole.

 

Countermeasures: It can be summarized in the words "stop", "sink" and "horizontal". "Stop": Crucian carp bites the hook mostly to send the float, when the float is sent to a stop (the fish has "swallowed" the hook bait), the rod should be lifted immediately. "Sink": When the float moves up and down in a standard manner, and then slowly sinks into the water, raise the rod immediately. "Horizontal": Put the hook bait into the fishing spot. During the sinking process, suddenly stop sinking, and the float is lying on the surface of the water without moving, or moving slowly or quickly. It may be a crucian or other fish catching the bait halfway, and the rod should also be lifted immediately .

 

 

Third, the hook surface bait is too large

Crucian carp, especially small crucian carp, although the mouth is small, but very gluttonous. For the fragrant and sweet noodle bait, they will not be easily let go. Because the bait has a big mouth and a small mouth, it is difficult to suck, so you have to hold a certain part of the bait to float or sink, and the rod will be empty.

Countermeasures: Take a soybean-sized noodle and hang it on the hook tip (don't expose the hook tip). During fishing, just follow the correct method to lift the rod. This will not only reduce the empty rod phenomenon, but also achieve the effect of both large and small fish.

 

Fourth, the hook surface bait is too hard

One of the weak points of the surface bait is its poor penetration to the hook. If the surface bait is too hard, the penetration of the hook will be worse. Even if the fish has sucked the hook bait into the mouth, the hook bait will quickly escape from the rod. If it slips out of the mouth, can there be no empty rods? Countermeasures: When using fabrics as bait, the prepared dough should be repeatedly kneaded to make its elasticity and toughness reach the best state. Its softness is as soft as a human earlobe.

 

Five, the hook earthworm is too thick

The hooked earthworm is too thick, and it is generally difficult for the crucian to suck into the inlet cavity. Just like the use of a large surface bait, it can only float or sink a certain part of the bait in a standardized manner. An empty rod will appear when the rod is lifted. Countermeasures:

① When you go fishing, you should prepare enough earthworms of various sizes, so that it is easy to apply bait.

②It is necessary to find out the situation of the fish in the fishing field, and determine the amount of bait according to the size of the fish. If there are many big fish, thicker earthworm hooks should be used; if there are many small fish, thin red earthworm hooks should be used.

③When fishing in new fishing grounds with unknown conditions, sticking to the use of small bloodworm hooks has more advantages than disadvantages.

 

Sixth, the hook earthworm is too long

Use long or whole live earthworm hooks, leaving a section (1 to 2 cm) at each end of the hook body, so that the hook target is large, and the worms outside the hook body have a significant effect on lure fish to swallow bait.

The fishing club believes that this hook method is more suitable for fishing in aquaculture fish ponds. However, in wild fishing where there are many small trash fish, small crucian carp, and "slip" crucian carp, the above hook is difficult to work. The worms outside of the hook will not only be "snatched" by small trash fish, they will also be "slipped" by crucian carp or crucian carp stealthily or dangling with their mouths, and the phenomenon of empty rods continues.

Countermeasures: Use red earthworms of appropriate thickness and insert the hook tip from one end to wrap the entire hook body, and then cut off the excess body from the hook tip, keeping the hook tip not exposed.

 

Seven, lifting the pole too hard

The lips of crucian carp have the physiological characteristics of being thin and brittle. Therefore, if the rod is lifted too hard, it is easy to pull the lips and cause the fish to escape.

Countermeasures: Shake the rod upwards with appropriate "explosive force" with the wrist of the rod holder to make the hook pierce the fish's mouth firmly, then tighten the fishing line, and lead the fish to the shore rhythmically to pick up the fish.

 

Eight,the wind line is too loose

The wind line is too loose on the water surface, which directly affects the linkage speed of the rod, line, and hook when the rod is lifted. It is difficult to seize the "momentary" opportunity. This is one of the important reasons that cause the fish to spit and unhook.

Countermeasures: Whether you use a long fishing line (a straight line), a medium-length fishing line (70% of the rod length), or a short fishing line (50% of the rod length), you must adjust the rod holder during fishing. Height, always keep the wind line basically straight on the water, insist on lifting the pole according to the correct method, will avoid the phenomenon of artificial empty pole.
