What is the main function of floating in fishing?

The main function of floater in fishing is to provide buoyancy and signal in water, and help fishermen observe the situation of fish biting.

People can not only judge the feeding situation of fish by the action of floating fish, so as to decide the timing of lifting the pole, but also judge what fish is biting the hook by the action of floating fish. Therefore, fish drift is an important part of fishing harvest. Fish floats are mostly made of light materials. Nowadays, fish floats are mostly chemical products, or made of bird hair, wood and bamboo, with different properties and shapes.

Floats can be divided into hollow floats and solid floats according to their own weight and buoyancy. The hollow float has small dead weight, large buoyancy and sensitive response; Solid floats are stable, but not very sensitive.

According to the different shapes of fish floats, they can also be divided into horizontal floats and vertical floats. The horizontal drift is also known as the seven-star drift. When fishing, a few floats are scattered on the water surface, which has high sensitivity and little vibration when lifting the pole, but it is not suitable for fishing when the wind and waves are heavy. Vertical float is a fish float that stands vertically in the water. Common ones are rod, cone, circle and gyro.

Details are as follows:

Float can be used in marine fishery, which can help fishermen pull their nets into deep water and get more catches. In addition, buoys can also be used to mark the position of fishing nets so that fishermen can find them more easily.

The floating foot has a moderate length and is specially used for bottom fishing, off the ground and deep water. When the float moves in the water, it has small resistance to the water, good stability, uniform and slow secondary sinking after standing, and long stroke, which is very suitable for capturing the "interception" signal sent by the opportunity ground. If the fish sucks bait at the bottom, even a slight pull can be quickly reflected on the drift.

This kind of floating water can stand firmly and is suitable for fishing and floating. Some people also call it jujube pit drift, which has short body, short tail and short feet, and the total length is about 10 cm. The short body drift that is not too thick is more suitable for fishing upper water. Short body, long tail and long feet are not suitable for fishing. At present, short-body floats are sold in the market, which are mostly used for stream fishing and ice fishing.
