Double hook or single hook?

Seven-star drift is a common drift in traditional fishing method, also known as star drift, scattered drift and centipede drift. It is named because it consists of seven floating beans. When in use, the floating beans are flat on the water surface (the floating beans submerged in water are vertical). Its advantage is that it is easy to observe the floating phase of the target, and it is simple to adjust the drift. It only needs to be adjusted once, and the action of throwing and lifting the pole will not scare the fish. Its disadvantage is that its ability to resist wind and waves and water is slightly poor.

Comparative discussion:

1, single hook: Seven-star drift can use straight line single hook or auxiliary line single hook. Single hook has two main advantages. One is that it is not easy to hang the bottom, especially when fishing for grass holes. The other is that the strength of the line group is higher. For example, when fishing for big fish such as carp, a straight single hook is more reliable.

2. Double hook: Seven-star drift can use substring double hook like platform fishing. Double hook has two main advantages. One is that double hooks are more conducive to attracting fish, and the other is that the fishing rate of double hooks is higher. For example, in the waters with simple terrain, it is recommended to use double hooks to catch small fish with commercial bait.

3, heavy lead to find the bottom: seven-star drift and vertical drift, we must first find the bottom of heavy lead. The specific method is to add a large piece of lead skin to the lead skin seat and throw it into the water. Under the gravity of the lead drop, all the seven-star drifters will definitely sink into the water, and then gradually move the top floating beans until they just emerge from the water. At this time, the distance from the lead falling to the floating bean is the depth of the fishing point.

4. Trim the lead skin: After heavy lead is found, trim the lead skin with half water. The specific method is to pull the top floating beans of Qixing Piao in the direction of the fishhook by a distance greater than the sub-line, so as to ensure that the lead pendant and the fishhook can be separated from the bottom during drifting, and then slowly trim the lead skin until the top floating beans of Qixing Piao are above the water. At this time, the gravity of the line group is exactly equal to the buoyancy generated by the seven-star drift.

5. Adjust the sensitivity: After trimming the lead skin, you can adjust the sensitivity of the wire group. Specifically, you can hang bait on the hook and throw it into the water. At this time, you only need to move the floating beans to adjust the sensitivity and darkness of the line group. Among them, pulling floating beans to reveal 1 floating beans is fishing spirit, pulling floating beans to reveal 2 floating beans is not slow, and pulling floating beans to reveal 3 or 4 floating beans is slow.
