How to adjust the float when fishing

Several simple and fast calibration methods (drift)

Fishermen know that buoy adjustment is very important. Moreover, with the help of the reasonable weight relationship between the bid and the drop in the fishing group, fishermen learn to take the bait to the appropriate fishing water layer, observe the atomization of the bait in the water, and find the action signals of fish swimming, foraging and swallowing the bait beside the bait nest, which becomes an important fishing gear for fishermen to timely and accurately lift the pole and fish to provide reliable information. If anglers have a clear understanding of the characteristics of a certain brand buoy, they can learn about the species, size, density and other information of fish in the nest through it. Therefore, the buoy is the fisherman's third eye.

Buoy series

A buoy consists of a standard tip, a standard neck, a standard shoulder, a standard body and a standard foot.

In the hanging drop fishing method, the correct collocation of buoy and pendant is a very important link, which directly affects the information transmission when the buoy bites the fish, and is one of the basic techniques that every fisherman who learns the hanging drop fishing method must master.

When beginners learn the method of buoy adjustment, they must first understand what buoy adjustment and salvage are.

Eyehole adjustment: after adding or reducing the counterweight lead skin, the number of eyelets at the tip of the fishing buoy is exposed to the water in the semi-water state.

Fishing eyes: the number of eyes that the tip of the buoy is exposed to the water when the fishing group fishes with bait.

The relationship between the upward buoyancy generated by the buoy in the water and the sum of downward gravity generated by the lead drop, the hook and the fishing line with a specific gravity greater than water in the fishing group: when the tip of the buoy is in the eye adjustment position, the sum of upward buoyancy and downward gravity reaches a balance.

The adjustment of buoy eye and the change of fishing purpose are the important basis for anglers to observe whether the hook is in the end, the bait is atomized, the fish moves in the nest and judge whether the fish eats the hook. In order to obtain these accurate basis, it is necessary to adjust the buoy eye accurately.

Buoy can be adjusted by the following methods:

First, the conventional simple and quick method:

This is a method of setting buoys in advance to adjust the mesh number before fishing. The specific mesh number is set by the fisherman according to the fish situation, water situation, bait ratio and other factors (assuming that the mesh number is adjusted to 5 meshes). The specific method is as follows:

Pull the buoy seat in the fishing group closer to the plumb, so that the distance from the top of the standard tip to the bottom hook is less than the water depth; Roll a piece of lead whose weight is greater than the buoyancy of the buoy on the lead base, and throw the marked fishing group into the fishing point, and the buoy will sink rapidly under the traction of greater gravity (Figure1); Cut the lead skin with scissors, then throw it into the fishing spot again (if you don't pay attention to cutting too much lead skin, you can add it appropriately), tie the bus floating on the water, let it sink into the water, and observe the number of eyes exposed by the standard tip (this procedure can be repeated many times); After coarse adjustment and fine adjustment, five grids are exposed at the tip of the mark (Figure 2). In order to verify the accuracy of this mesh number, anglers can also appropriately extend the distance from the buoy seat to the lead seat, throw the fishing group into the fishing spot, row it into the water repeatedly, and then observe its self-return. If it returns to normal, it proves that the adjustment just now is accurate; If you can't return to the number of items adjusted in the previous period, you need to continue fine-tuning at this time.

Second, the bait calibration method:

This is a buoy adjustment net, which is not clear in advance, but the actual net that the fisherman gets the exposed position of the mark tip after hanging the bait, and then takes off the bait. The specific method is (taking leveling water with bait as an example):

Pull the buoy seat in the fishing group closer to the plumb, so that the distance from the top of the standard tip to the bottom hook is less than the water depth; Roll a piece of lead whose weight is greater than the buoyancy of the buoy on the lead base, rub two baits for fishing on the hook, and throw the marked fishing group into the fishing point, so that the buoy will quickly sink to the bottom under the traction of greater gravity (Figure 3); Cut the lead skin properly with scissors, put two baits with the same size on the hook at a time, then throw the fishing group into the fishing spot again, tighten the busbar floating on the water surface and let it sink into the water, and observe the number of eyes exposed by the standard tip (this procedure can be repeated many times); After coarse and fine adjustment, the marking tip is flush with the horizontal plane (Figure 4). Finally, under the condition of no bait, the fishing group is thrown into the fishing point again to get a mesh with the tip above the water. This mesh number is not a fixed value, but is determined by the proportion of bait prepared by fishermen on that day (if the proportion is large, there will be more meshes, and if the proportion is small, there will be fewer meshes). Note: When adjusting the standard by this method, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the bait cannot be mixed too loosely, so as to avoid the atomization of the bait after it enters the water, which will affect the accuracy of buoy adjustment.

The method of decoy and bid adjustment is a single item of the method of decoy and bid adjustment. It is also very effective to adjust the bait by feeding bait in bait fishing (floating fishing and bottom fishing). The calibration method of bottom fishing is the same as the previous bait leveling method. However, the way to adjust the standard when fishing and drifting should be to pull the bait in half water and adjust the target to 2 or 3 meshes, which is very simple. But to know what net the tip stays on after the bait is dropped by the double hook, in case the fish layer changes, it is necessary to find the correct bottom position.

Three, step by step adjustment method:

This is a more detailed and accurate buoy adjustment method.

Pull the buoy seat closer to the lead seat to make the distance less than the water depth, take off the hook line on the auxiliary line buckle, roll the lead whose weight is greater than the buoyancy of the buoy on the lead seat, and throw the marked line group into the fishing point, so that the buoy can quickly sink to the bottom under the traction of greater gravity (Figure 5); Cut off the excess lead skin with scissors and throw it back to the fishing point. Cut the water, and observe and trim the lead skin repeatedly until there is no hook eye at the tip of the mark (assuming that the eye is scheduled to be 5 eyes). Then install the hook line, throw it into the fishing point again, cut the water, and observe the mesh number displayed at the tip at this time (because the hook weight is different, this mesh number is also different. Suppose that the number displayed at this time is 3), which is the number obtained by the conventional calibration method, from which we know the buoyancy of the double hook with a weight of about 2 meshes. If it is a fishing method with double hooks hanging from the bottom and slack sub-lines, even if the three nets are adjusted to catch five nets, there is no need to worry that the lead pendant in the fishing group will fall to the bottom, and it is still in a relatively sensitive hanging state. It is very effective to adjust the standard fishing in this way to deal with small crucian carp in winter or people who don't like to talk much.

Choosing buoys with different characteristics for different fishing waters is one of the basic knowledge that every beginner must master.

1. When fishing on natural water surfaces (lakes, reservoirs and wide rivers after interception)

Fish (small fish) flock on the natural water surface to grab food in their nests, and the bait is often intercepted halfway before reaching the end. The fisherman only saw that the buoy sank strongly and could not be hooked. In the frequent throwing of the pole, the bait shaken off by half water will attract more small fish, which is annoying. Natural waters are vast and fish are scarce, but they eat more because of less food. Therefore, when fishing in the wild natural waters, buoys with short neck, good stability, large label and many weights should be chosen as the main ones to make the bait quickly enter the water to the bottom. The material of the buoy need not be too particular, and it is mainly made of cheap and good domestic fir or reed, hard-shell peacock feathers and celluloid. Its target is firm, impact-resistant, buoyant and moderately priced, which is very suitable for the majority of salaried fishermen.

2. When fishing in contracted ponds and aquaculture waters in the suburbs.

When fishing in contracted ponds and suburban aquaculture waters, fishermen usually use the theory of pole pricing to win fish. The water quality in these waters is relatively rich, and the fish density is higher than that in natural waters. However, due to the influence of many anglers and fierce competition or human factors of pond owners (over-feeding, etc.). ), the reaction of fish to bait is generally not too great. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a medium-sized buoy with long neck, high sensitivity, moderate body thickness and long tip. Buoy is mainly made of Chinese fir, peacock feathers, reeds and other materials. Generally, the middle and high-grade buoys produced by domestic standard manufacturers are optional objects. Several fishing friends of the author have used buoys made in 20 yuan, which have achieved good results in many local aquaculture waters.

3. When taking part in competitive fishing competition (mixed fish farming)

When participating in mixed fishing competitions, buoys can basically adopt the above-mentioned standard of "suburban aquaculture surface fishing". However, we should pay attention to the interference of many players, noisy voices, swinging poles and fish food will become more abnormal at this time. Therefore, the choice of buoys should be more "refined". Those high-quality brand-name buoys that have been used by many fishing experts and recommended by them may help you meet the above requirements. Most of their materials are imported high-quality Bal Chinese fir or carefully processed peacock feathers. Exquisite production, diverse shapes, high quality, few water seepage, broken tips and other phenomena. It is an ideal fishing tackle and is deeply loved by competitive anglers. However, the relatively expensive price is also an important factor that restricts its wide popularization. However, many fishermen who are not well-off (but love competitive fishing) have achieved good results after long-term use of an ordinary buoy with moderate price, ordinary production and quiet brand, and gradually found out its internal laws (such as the time of soaking in water and the change of the number of standard tips). Therefore, it is necessary to remind beginners that famous brand and high quality buoys are very good, but we must not be overly superstitious, and we must not make the mistake of buying only excellent fishing tackle and neglecting actual combat training.

4. When competing for small crucian carp

Many people like the characteristics of crucian carp, so catching small crucian carp quickly is one of the competitive fishing methods that have emerged in recent years. Young crucian carp are easy to float for food. When the atomized bait in the fishing spot waters is dense, the juvenile crucian carp will float up one after another to compete for bait. In actual combat, fishermen adopt the techniques of pulling bait away from the bottom, fishing in half water and fishing at a standard depth. Therefore, it is more suitable to use a "fast-break" buoy with long tip, short body and heavy foot, which can be quickly turned over and erected. Many standard manufacturers have produced this kind of buoy, but the water permeability of the buoy itself is very strict (preferably zero) when fishing small crucian carp, so the first-class buoy made by famous factory teachers has become the object that competitive fishing experts compete to buy.
