What is a snakehead fishing rod?

The hand poles for snakehead fishing are special catfish poles and carp poles. Generally speaking, snakehead struggles hard after catching China fish, so it is better to use a stronger fishing rod, and it is more convenient to catch snakehead with reed bud rod.

The fishing method commonly used for snakehead fishing is fixed-point fishing with a hand pole. Generally, long poles, short lines, big hooks and baits are generally white strips, small crucian carp and frogs. When hanging bait, you should stab the fish from behind, put the whole hook in, or pass through the mouth or cheeks of the fish, then put the bait in the water and start fishing, and observe the water layer of the fish.

After finding the position of the fish, put the bait one foot in front of the fish, not too close, or it will surprise the fish. Snakehead usually eats quickly after finding bait. At this time, the thread will be loosened. After snatching the hook, the snakehead will have bubbles floating on the water, indicating that the fish has completely bitten the hook.

When fishing, choose the right time. In spring, you should fish in shallow water. In early spring, it is best to fish where there is sunshine and aquatic plants. In summer, you should fish in the morning and at night. During these two periods, small fish were active in foraging, and the oxygen content in the water was also very good, which was very suitable for snakehead foraging.
