How to catch snakehead with a pole

The method of fishing snakehead by hand is as follows:

1. Fishing tackle for snakehead fishing with hand pole should use long pole, short line and hook. The pole is preferably a hard pole of more than 5 meters, and the line length is about 2 meters. Because the snakehead's teeth are sharp, it is necessary to use multi-strand anti-biting thread, and the hook should use a long-handled hook of 12 or more. Bait can be white stripes, small crucian carp, frogs, etc. When baiting with white strips or small crucian carp, the tip of the hook should pierce the dorsal fin of the small fish and push the whole hook.

2. When using the frog hook, the hook tip should pierce between the two retreats of the frog, the whole hook body should be pushed into the abdomen of the frog, and the hook anchor should pass through the corners of the mouth. Fishing snakehead with a pole should adopt the method of observing while walking. If snakehead is found, you can directly hand the bait hook to a foot in front of the fish head. When snakehead finds the bait on the hook falling into the water, it will quickly prey.

The fish hasn't swallowed all the bait hooks in its mouth. If the rod is lifted too early, the bait hook will be pulled out from the mouth of the fish, and the fish will sink immediately after swallowing the bait. At this time, the thread should be loosened. After a few seconds, a big bubble mixed with many small bubbles will appear underwater. At this point, the snakehead has swallowed all the bait hooks in his mouth, and the fishing rod is as steady as Mount Tai.

Fish belong to freshwater benthos, which usually inhabit the waters with overgrown aquatic plants or muddy sediments, and are distributed in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, paddy fields and other waters, and have strong adaptability to environmental factors in water, especially dissolved oxygen, water temperature and water quality. When the water is short of oxygen, it can breathe on the water with the help of the auxiliary respiratory organs in the suprabranchial cavity.
