Do you know whether it is better to hook red worms directly or use rubber bands?

Red worms are chironomid larvae, which are widely distributed in various water bodies. Their biomass can account for 50 ~ 90% of the total zoobenthos in water. They are called "universal bait" and can fish in any water body at any time. Let's see if the red worm is hooked directly or with rubber bands!

First of all, the discussion about hooks.

Whether the red worm is hooked directly or with a rubber band cannot be generalized, mainly depending on the conditions of fish, water, fishing method and the size of the red worm. For example, it is suggested to hang a single red worm directly when fishing for small fish such as crucian carp and snakehead in winter, and tie 3-5 red worms with rubber bands when fishing for carnivorous fish such as catfish and yellow catfish in summer and autumn, which is more attractive to fish and more affordable for fish to eat.

Second, the identification of men and women.

1, male red worm: the male red worm has thick skin, bright red, round and plump skin, which is not suitable for tearing after being hooked, and the price is high, which is suitable for single hanging fishing and the best choice for tying the handle of red worm (tying method).

2. Female red worm: The color of female red worm is not as deep as that of male red worm, and its size is smaller than that of male red worm. Its constitution is weaker than that of male red worm, and its skin is thin and soft, and its price is lower than that of male red worm. Can be used to make meat buns, pure dragonflies and so on.

Third, the hook method

1, direct hanging method: hang live red worms directly on hooks, and each hook can hang one or more. Hang it alone when fishing for small fish, longer when fishing for big fish, and more when there are few fish, but be sure to use thick-skinned male worms.

2. Binding method: directly bind the red worm with a red line, or bind the red worm with a rubber band with a red worm clip into a handle shape. Both males and females can be used, but it is not as economical to use males as females, and females are most suitable for catching large crucian carp and larger carp.

3. Feeding method: hang a few red worms on the hook, and then gently wrap the raised and loose flour bait outside the red worms. The advantage of this method is that it not only uses the atomization and taste of flour bait to lure fish, but also uses the palatability of red worms to make fish swallow hooks.

4. Bait pulling method: A certain number of red worms are laid flat in the bait basin, and then a layer of red worm companion (detailed in the fishing gear shop) is evenly taken out from the red worms, stirred evenly, and finally placed on the bait tray for bait pulling.

Fourth, drift adjustment skills

1, horizontal fishing 1 mesh: horizontal fishing 1 mesh is a common drifting method for red worm fishing. The specific operation is to adjust the level of the hook first, and then pull up the drift frame until the drift just shows 1 mesh. This drifting method is suitable for fishing crucian carp in early spring and winter.

2. Cross-fishing 2 eyes: Cross-fishing 2 eyes is a common drifting method for red worm fishing. The specific operation is to adjust the level with an empty hook and half water, and then pull up the float seat until the float just shows two eyes. This method is suitable for fishing small crucian carp with light mouth.

3. 3-mesh horizontal fishing: 3-mesh horizontal fishing is a common drifting method for red worm fishing. The specific operation is to adjust the level with an empty hook and half water, and then pull up the float seat until the float just shows 3 eyes. This drifting method is suitable for catching big crucian carp with heavy mouth.

4.4-mesh horizontal fishing: 4-mesh horizontal fishing is a common drifting method for red worm fishing. The specific operation is to adjust the level with an empty hook and half water, and then pull up the drift seat until the drift just shows 4 meshes. This drift adjustment method is suitable for catching carnivorous fish such as catfish.
