What is the best choice for fishing? What are the characteristics of various fishing floats?

1. Float: a sign that can float in the water to convey fish information to fishermen. Floating can also be called floating and floating. At present, the main floats used by competitive fishermen are made of peacock feathers, balsa trees and reeds. This float consists of three parts: foot, main float and indicator. Floating feet are used to fix floating feet, including bamboo feet, carbon feet and FRP feet. The outer surface of the main floating body is coated with waterproof paint to maintain the buoyancy stability of the floating body. Markers painted with various colors are also called marker poles, floating seedlings, floating tips and floating tails. Indicators are generally divided into solid and hollow. The solid is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic products, and the hollow is a double-layer plastic pipe. In order to meet the needs of different water depths and different fishing methods, floats are made into different shapes and sizes by manufacturers. Whether the float is practical or not, and whether its performance is excellent or not, depends entirely on the float manufacturer's understanding of the sport of fishing crucian carp, the choice of manufacturing technology and the pursuit of quality. 2. Long-body float: a float with a slender main float, a slender indicator and a moderate floating foot length, which is specially used for bottom fishing, bottom fishing and deep water fishing. This kind of float has small resistance to water when moving in water, good stability, uniform and slow secondary sinking after standing, and long stroke, which is especially suitable for capturing the signal of crucian carp "intercepting" from the bottom of the water. It is extremely sensitive to the slight tension and reaction caused by fish sucking bait at the bottom, and is an essential float for fishing bottom. There are two kinds of long body drift: long body and long tail (index) and long body and short tail. The long tail can reach 12 mesh to more than 20 mesh; The short tail is within 12 mesh, and if it is soft, it is about 7 mesh. The longer the floating body is, the thinner the indicator is, and the more sensitive it is. However, if the fishing tackle is not properly adjusted, it will also reduce the sensitivity or be too sensitive, and false signals often appear. 3. Short-body float: a special float that stands quickly after entering the water, suitable for fishing. Some people also call it jujube pit bleaching. Short body, short tail, short feet, total length 10 cm, and short body drift that is not too thick are more suitable for fishing in the upper water layer. Short body, long tail and long feet are not suitable for fishing. At present, the short-body floats sold in the market are basically used for drift fishing and ice fishing. Although it can also be used for competitive crucian carp fishing, it is not ideal. Many competitive fishing enthusiasts have changed their soft tail and short body drift, leaving only four eyes for marking and short feet for drifting. 4. Protruding shoulder float: also known as blunt shoulder float. Because the root of the main floating body of the float is an umbrella-shaped inclined plane, when the float loses traction in the water and floats up, the water has great resistance to its end face, which makes it unique and especially suitable for catching slippery fish with fast bait. 5. Big belly float: A float with short body, long tail and short feet. Because of the relationship between materials and processing technology, this float is partly made of wood products. Dadu drift has low center of gravity, fast standing speed, and relatively long pause time before secondary sinking, so it has advantages in fishing middle and lower crucian carp. 6. Soft floating: At present, it refers to the floating of peacock feathers with shells used for fishing crucian carp. This kind of float can be slightly bent, its buoyancy is greater than that of peacock feathers with the same volume of shells, its sensitivity is high, and it is easy to break if used improperly. 7. Hard floating: In the past, peacock feathers floated with shells. Now it generally refers to a float that cannot bend. Floats made of peacock feathers, wood, reeds and porcupine spines are all hard floats.
