How to adjust the drift

Seven-star drift drift method is as follows:

Seven-star drift drift drift, the float down, every 1CM more than a grain, depending on the depth of the water, the lead seat wrapped with the appropriate lead, will be put into the water, the requirements of the drift is not in the water, and the lead skin touch the bottom.

Pull the top one to the state that the 8-ring touches the bottom when the water is flat, if the lead seat touches the bottom when you release it, then reduce the lead until the 8-ring touches the bottom when the water is flat, stroke the top float out of the water and reduce the lead according to the situation, you can use it after all the steps are finished.

The distance between the floats is about 3 to 5 centimeters when using the seven-star drift, which can be controlled at two to three centimeters for low temperature and small fish, and 5 centimeters or even more for high temperature and big fish, and the distance between the floats is bigger and more obtuse.

Fishing for grass holes and other places with more obstacles is the first push towards the sky hook, because the hook is facing up under the water, and the anti-hanging performance is relatively high.

When using a single hook with a seven-star drift, it is recommended to follow the tuning method of the Chao Tian hook, under the premise of ensuring that the weight of the lead can pull down all the floats, the less stuff on the lead, the more sensitive it is, and it's okay to fish for big fish with a lot of packs, but if the carp want to eat, even if they pack two or three grams of lead, they will still pull it away.

Seven star drift introduction:

Also known as the star drifting, scattered sub-drift, centipede drift, lying drift. Seven star drift is a traditional fishing float used for a long time. Usually seven, hence the name. Traditionally, it is made of poultry feather poles, mostly plastic with date-core type particles.

The seven-star drift is best suited for fishing in still water, or in waters where wind and waves have little effect. It enters the water lightly, so it is not easy to disturb the fish in the fishing spot when lifting the rod, and it does not produce too much resistance when it comes out of the water. It is easy to use, usually only need to adjust the drift once when matching the fishing group, and then no need to adjust it again, even if you are fishing from shallow to deep, you only need to wipe the float upward, and when you need to fish floating, you can wipe the float down.

When you need to fish the bottom, you can wipe the float upward a few times to reduce some buoyancy. The seven-star float has a large target and is easier to observe, so even if you fish for a whole day, you won't feel tired of watching the float.

Additionally, the biggest advantage of the seven-star drift is that it is easy to get materials and simple to make. The disadvantage is that it is less wind-resistant. In windy conditions, the float will be up and down by the wind and waves, making it difficult to recognize signals. Although the seven-star drift lack of wind resistance, but still by the majority of traditional fishing friends favorite.
