Seek the skills of fishing fresh water with a rock fishing rod.

Li Fangming accepted an exclusive interview with the fishing magazine Rock Rod Freshwater Fishing. Throwing rod has always been the favorite of fishermen who like to catch big fish, and it is also favored by novices because of its simple operation and easy use. However, rod-throwing fishing seems simple, in fact, it takes a long time to accumulate experience to really catch well. There are really a lot of technical things in it! Interview with Li Fangming-reporter Tang Xindong of the Rock Fishing Method Fishing In the field of freshwater fishing, the throwing rod also includes the rock rod commonly known by fishermen as the hand-sea dual-purpose rod. So what are the differences between the rock rod and the ordinary throwing rod in actual use? What are the skills of fishing with a rock rod? To this end, the reporter specially consulted Li Fangming, the coach of Old Ghost Fishing School. Our reporter: Hello, Teacher Li! What are the advantages of rock rod compared with ordinary fresh water throwing rod in actual fishing? Some people say that the rock pole is not far away, and some people say that the rock pole is not suitable for fishing big fish. Is that so? ! Li: As we all know, the tip of the rock rod is thin and soft, so it has high sensitivity, especially when fishing crucian carp with a string hook, which can reflect the fish news in time and accurately; As for the ordinary throwing rod, the tip of the rod is thicker and harder. When the fish eats lightly, the action will only appear after the fish eats the dead hook, so the opportunity to catch the fish is often missed. The reason that affects the throwing distance is not only the fisherman's own technical level, but also related to the choice of rocker. Rock rods for freshwater fishing should not be too soft or too hard. Generally, 3 ~ 4 poles are enough, and the length of 3 ~ 3.6 meters is enough, because the poles are soft and long, but they can't hit far. The most important reel in the rock rod fishing group should be a metal reel with good quality, and the winding groove should be shallow and wide, so that the line can be cast more smoothly. In a word, a rocker with good quality has good elasticity. If you can master the essentials of throwing, you can throw it very far. As for catching big fish, it mainly depends on the reel, which will not be affected by the softness of the rock rod. We often catch twenty or thirty kilograms of big fish with rock poles. Our reporter: What are the essentials and skills of throwing sand rods? Li: Beginners can use the forward throwing method, that is, throwing with both hands above their heads, which makes it easy to shoot accurately. You can't throw the rock rod by explosive force, and the backward angle should be as large as possible. You must use the elasticity of the pole to throw the string naturally, not forcefully. Fishing throwing rod is the same as fishing hand rod, which requires that the bait must be placed accurately, otherwise it will affect the fish. In addition, attention should be paid to pressing the line when casting, especially in windy days, otherwise the fishing line will have a large bending arc, which will affect the transmission of fish news. The timing of pressing the line is the moment when the bait is about to enter the water. At this time, quickly press the tip of the rod into the water, pull the rod back to tighten the fishing line, and shake the excess fishing line back at a constant speed. Our reporter: You just mentioned fishing crucian carp with string hooks, and you also mentioned that the tip of the rock rod is very thin and soft, so is it not suitable for the rock rod to use explosive hooks? Li: That's not true. Rock poles can also be used with explosive hooks. I usually use explosive hooks to catch carp and grass carp, but string hooks are more suitable for catching crucian carp, especially in the case of large water surface and relatively low fish density. Our reporter: Let's talk about the fishing methods and skills when using rock rods with string hooks and explosive hooks. Li: With a string hook, you can catch both bottom fish and bottom fish, and the sensitivity is higher than that of an explosion hook. As long as the pole tip is found to be moving, the pole can be lifted, and the chance of catching fish is still very high. The use of explosion hooks is different. The fish can only lift the rod when it is stable, otherwise it will easily lead to the fish running halfway, so the tip of the rod can only be lifted when it is bent down. Of course, it doesn't mean that string hooks are only suitable for catching crucian carp, while explosive hooks can only catch big fish, and everything depends on the situation of fish. Sometimes we use a single hook where there are many weeds and stones. In addition, the size of the fish can also be judged by the signal reflected by the rocker. When a big fish bites a hook, the tip of the pole will generally bend greatly, while a small fish is generally light. However, whether fishing for big fish or small fish, if you use a string hook, you can lift the rod if you find that the rod head is moving; However, the use of the explosive hook has to wait. Generally speaking, a broken hook catches a fish that eats a dead hook. The lower the rocker support, the better, as long as the signal of fish biting hook can be found, because the smaller the angle of fishing rod, the stronger the wind resistance; When matching the string hook, it should be determined according to the depth of the water. The deeper the water, the smaller the angle of the pole, otherwise all the hooks will leave the bottom, and at least two hooks must be attached to the bottom. Reporter: Just now you talked about the length of fishing rod and how to match the hook. Next, how to match the line groups when fishing different sizes of fish? Li: When fishing crucian carp with a rock rod and a string hook, it is enough to use a line of 2 ~ 2.5, and the brain line of the string hook is 0.6 ~ 1.0 according to the situation of the fish. The brain line should not be too long, and should be controlled within 10 cm. It is more suitable to use a lead pendant of about 30 grams, which can not only realize long-distance throwing, but also not affect the sensitivity of the fishing group. It is enough to catch big fish with line 4 ~ 5, but it should be noted that big fish often suddenly exert their strength when they are near the shore, and it is easy to disconnect, so the ship unloader must be adjusted. In addition, when a big fish exerts its strength, it must not be pulled against it, and the fishing rod should not be greatly bent, otherwise it will affect the water outlet and easily lead to broken wires and rods. Our reporter: Fishing friends are generally concerned about the preparation of bait. Can you talk about the essentials of bait preparation when fishing with a rock rod? Li: As for the bait, it depends on what kind of hook you use to catch it. If the explosive hook is used, the state of the bait is very important. Generally speaking, the bait tastes right, but it is in poor condition, and fish can be served, but the speed of feeding fish is much slower. I think dry state is better than soft state. We should ensure that the bait will dissolve after entering the water, leaving only the point on the spring after falling to the bottom, so as to lure the fish better. When the hook bait falls to the bottom, the hook should be exposed around the bait. As long as the fish sucks out the residual bait, it is easy for the fish to suck the hook into its mouth. When fishing in a fish pond with high fish density, if the bait is dry, it will help to improve the fishing frequency, and even cut the bait when it is lowered. But the state of the bait needs to be determined according to the situation of the fish. If you fish in natural waters where there are many small fish, you have to use hard and sticky bait. If you use string hooks or grape hooks, the softer the bait, the better. You can add some sticky powder or wire drawing powder. In short, you should be the softest on the premise of throwing the pole. As for the taste, when fishing in natural waters, the bait should be close to nature. Nature refers to grain bait without any essence, which is more effective for catching big fish. Our reporter: Is it necessary to make a nest by fishing with a rock rod in natural waters? Please talk about how to make a nest more effective. Li: It is necessary to nest and fish in natural waters. But pay attention to the concentration of bait, and change the bait every 15 minutes when fishing. If you are fishing big fish, you have to make a big nest, and sometimes you have to make more than two nests. But the spacing between nests should be large, because the activities of big fish are regional, and you can't guarantee that a nest can lure them.
