How to Fish with a Seven Star Drift in High Winds and Waves

In the wild fishing, the star drift fishing group is still flourishing. The vast majority of anglers are very fond of the star drift fishing group, which not only has a historical reason, but also has a realistic reason. The Star Drift (also known as Seven Star Drift, Scattered Drift, Centipede Drift, Sleeping Drift) fishing set has many advantages. It is easy to make, low cost, easy to adjust the drift, and has a strong ability to adapt to complex environments such as near and far, deep and shallow, water plants and floating weeds, and still-water current. The star drift fishing group can be adjusted sluggishly to reduce the fish's bait swallowing obstacles, adapted to fishing wild fish, especially the need for big fish, but also can be adjusted very sensitively to adapt to fishing tricky mouth fish, the need for light mouth fish. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have the right equipment for the job, and that you have the right tools for the job, and that you have the right tools for the job.

Star drifting fishing has a rich diversity. According to the different seasons, fish conditions, the water current, distance, water plants, etc., you can make and use a variety of star drifting fishing set.

(A) Various kinds of star drifting sets

The pendant is the soul of the star drifting set. The weight, size and solidity of the pendant play a decisive role in the performance of the set. Several people fishing together, all with the star drifting fishing group fishing catch sometimes a huge difference, may be a very important reason is the use of different pendant. According to the weight of the pendant can be roughly divided into heavy pendant, light weight, pocket pendant. There are also solid and hollow pendants. The following is a description of several kinds of star drifting fishing sets with their own characteristics.

1. Heavy Pendant Star Drift Fishing Set

A,Structure and Combination Characteristics (As shown in Fig. 1)

B. Advantages: very good stability and resistance to water current and wind waves.

C. Disadvantages: very poor sensitivity, not suitable for fishing still water.

D. Application: fishing running water. The faster the current, the heavier the heavy pendant, making the hook bait position fixed. The hook bait and subline flutter with the current, which has a teasing effect. Commonly used worm bait such as earthworms. You can fish for catfish and catfish at the mouth of the beach, or watch the rod tip flutter with a taut line (taut-tip fishing).

2. Light Drop Star Drift Fishing Set

A. Structure and combination of features (as shown in Figure 2, left)

B. Advantages: Drift and drop match with high sensitivity. Simple production, easy to adjust the drift. Wide range of adaptation (deep and shallow, bright water, grass), go fishing, change position is particularly convenient.

C. Disadvantages: The sensitivity is not as high as that of the pocket pendant set. It is not as good as the drift fishing group. Stability is poor, difficult to resist the wind and waves. Difficult to see the drift from a distance.

D. Application: Fishing in natural waters from mid-spring to late spring, both bright water and grass are suitable.

3. Pocket Pendant Fishing Set

A. Features of Structure Combination (As shown in Fig. 2, right)

B. Advantages: Since the pendant is especially light, the float is small and small, and the line is small and small, the fishing set is very sensitive, and at the same time, the resistance is minimized. It is obviously better than the light pendant fishing set in catching small fish, light mouth fish and cunning mouth fish. It sinks slowly and the hook bait floats down gently, close to nature, and is highly seductive.

C. Disadvantages: It can only fish near but not far. The most afraid of the wind and waves of flowing water. The most important thing is that you can only catch slow fish, not fast fish.

D. Application: It is especially suitable for fishing for light-mouth fish from early winter to early spring. The bait should be small, rice, bait, fine red worms and earthworms. Watch the drift to see the surface of the water under the float slight upward sent or sinking.

4. Hollow drop star drifting fishing group

A. Structure and combination of features (Figure 3)

B. Advantages: pendant heavier, easy to throw far. The hollow aperture is large and the float is small, so the fish drags the line through the large aperture and slides through it with little resistance. The drift phase is basically a black drift, the float is slowly dragged downward, continuous and obvious, easy to see the drift.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

C. Disadvantage: Buoyancy-gravity mismatch, sensitivity is second to light fall fishing set.

D. Application: late fall to early spring, fish hide in deep places. The pendant is heavier and can be thrown to far away places to catch bigger carp. The bait is mostly earthworms, which can be combined with wrapped food fishing method to catch big fish. Hollow heavy pendant can also be applied to running water.

5. Long pole and short line star drifting fishing set

A. Structure and combination of characteristics (as shown in Figure 4)

B. Advantages: Fishing and hooking are accurate. Hook bait can be moved straight up and down, easy to tease in place, easy and fast upward to carry the fish out of the water, reducing the chance of hanging grass, surprised fish.

C. Disadvantage: It is time-consuming and laborious to extend and retract the fishing rod.

D. Application: Especially suitable for fishing distant grass holes, duckweed or lotus leaf gap. Short rod with 1-2 meters short line, fishing near the fist, bowl size grass holes, the effect is also very good.6. Star drifting fishing group sensitivity adjustment

Using the star drifting fishing group, you should understand whether the hook bait is suspended, whether the pendant is suspended, whether the pendant is lying on the bottom, and lying on the bottom of the how much, so as to know the group's state of sensitive and sluggish.

The star drifting fishing group is the best way to know whether the bait is suspended, the pendant is suspended, the pendant is lying on the bottom, and how much.

The drifting method is easy to grasp.

The specific operation method of adjusting the drift: first, the float downward strokes to make it close to the pendant, and then throw the hook into the water, observe the float under the surface of the water a few, on the surface of the water a few. At this time, the float just below the surface of the water to make the pendant and empty hook suspension. After hanging the bait, look at the float on the surface of the water a few particles. If the floats on the surface of the water are 3 grains and 1 grain respectively, then, when fishing for 2 grains, the pendant is suspended and the hook bait lightly touches the bottom, which is the most sensitive state (as shown in Figure 5). Fishing is not always the most sensitive. Depending on the conditions of the fish, a different variety of sensitivity may be required. Many times, it is necessary to have the pendant lying on the bottom so that the line bends loosely because, in this state, the fish have the least obstacle to swallowing the bait (bait-swallowing resistance), and the hooking rate is high.

How to grasp the sensitivity and sluggishness of the star drifting fishing group? Just look at the number of floats on the surface of the water, because the number of floats can reflect the suspension of the pendant, the bottom of the state and the degree of the bottom, which also reflects the fishing group sensitive and sluggish state (Figure 6). The more floats under the water surface, the less floats on the water surface, the more the pendant, hook bait by buoyancy, and vice versa, the smaller. As can be seen in the figure, the drop may have several conditions: suspended, lightly touching the bottom, a little lying on the bottom, most lying on the bottom, completely lying on the bottom. The more the pendant lies on the bottom, the more sluggish the set is. The sensitivity and sluggishness of the fishing group is in your hands and in your mind.

These are just a few of the most common and basic combinations of star drifting sets and their applications. It is not desirable to set the same routine. We should be flexible, adaptable, flexible and up-to-date for fish, water, sky and land conditions.
