How to adjust the drift of traditional fishing?

What is traditional fishing? One of them says that traditional fishing is lead drop to the bottom; the other one says that traditional fishing is hand-held fishing except for the table fishing method, and there are many different opinions. I think both of these statements are right, fishing in China has been developed to today's history of more than a thousand years. Since the introduction of Taiwan fishing to the mainland after 10 years of development, so far it is not the original Taiwan fishing. In this article, I'm going to explain in detail how to adjust the drift method for the traditional fishing method of lead drop to the bottom.

The drift is the eye of the angler, and the angler perceives the underwater fish's information about the bait through the movement of the float, and judges the timing of lifting the rod. The lead to the bottom fishing method, as the name suggests, is to ensure that the lead contact with the bottom of the water, that is to say, the weight of the lead should be greater than the buoyancy of the float, the specific how much greater is related to the sensitivity of the entire fishing group. After figuring out this principle, you can start adjusting the drift.

1.Assembling the line, installing the float and lead

To make sure that the weight of the first installed lead is enough to pull the float into the water as a whole, move the float so that the distance from the float to the lead is about half of the depth of the fishing position.

2. Trimming the Lead Shell

Don't be in a hurry, take your time and cut it little by little until the top end of the float is level with the water or one eye above the surface. At this point, the fishing group in the water state is a balanced buoyancy system, suspended in the water. At this point, it is considered the end of the drift adjustment.

3, find the bottom

Move the float upward until the float is exposed to the surface of the water for one or two eyes, which means that at this time the lead pendant has touched the bottom by the bottom of the water to support a certain amount of gravity of the lead pendant to make the float float the corresponding number of eyes. Of course, this mesh should take into account both the sensitivity of the fishing group and the convenience of the angler to observe two aspects, if you only consider to improve the sensitivity of the lead to touch the bottom is very light, it will cause the difficulty of watching the drift. On the other hand, if you increase the number of fishing eyes too much for the sake of watching the drift, it will reduce the sensitivity of the fishing group and even cause the big line to bend in the water and not show the fishing news.

Traditional fishing is still very adaptable to specific fishing grounds, especially wild fishing grounds, and for older anglers. It can filter out the signals of small fish, and when there are fish on the bait, the floating signals are obvious and most of them are eating dead hooks, which is a good choice for the elderly recreational fishing method.
