Seven-star tradition

In the traditional seven-star drift line group, are there fewer stars or more? Seven-star drift, also known as loose drift, is also called horizontal drift relative to vertical drift. Seven-star floats, as the name implies, are composed of seven scattered floats, or they can be made of bird feather stalks, with three floats on the water, one in the water and three in the water. You don't have to use seven or three. It may be the association between the ancients and the Big Dipper, half on the water and half under the water, or it may be the golden mean in ancient China, so I guess.

The straight single hook sinks to the bottom, and the seven-star plunge is slightly better than the floating force. This is the simplest seven-star floating line setting for traditional fishing, which is also the reason why some fishermen think that traditional fishing is not sensitive enough. When fishing, just put the float above the water. Comparatively speaking, the lower you float in the water, the smarter you are.

Generally, we call a star drift with less than four or five stars as few grains. One, two, three. The most common star-drifting fishing group uses three. The main feature of star drift is that the hook and bait sink quickly and are sensitive to sensitivity. It is not the number of particles that determines the sensitivity of star drift, but the weight of water droplets, the distance between water droplets and the brain line of the hook, and the magnitude of star drift force. You use a light droplet to float a short brain line, no matter how many particles are missing, the sensitivity is definitely higher than that of a thick droplet to float a long brain line. The real function of the star drift with less than four grains is that the bait sinks quickly, the star drifts into less water and the traction buoyancy is small. The bait can quickly sink to the bottom, and then bypass the small fish in the upper and middle layers to shock the serious target fish underwater.

Little star drifting is suitable for the sea area affected by miscellaneous fish, which has many obstacles. In the hot season, many people use Samsung drift for winter fishing. They all think that three stars represent high sensitivity, but they are not. Winter fishing requires that three grains can be used in Gaoling, but the three grains must be matched with a light drop, which has high accuracy. It is not advisable to use three pills for winter fishing, ignoring the slowness. Moreover, winter fishing requires many people to find fish and go fishing, facing the problem of different depths of dens. Three grains are not as adaptable as many grains. Winter fishing and drifting must be small and light. There is no pairing of falling weight and buoyancy, and it tends to be sensitive to particle number theory.

Different waters: when fishing in rivers, running water and deep water, a large number of floating stars should be used; When fishing in streams, shallow waters and narrow rivers, a small number of floating stars should be used; When fishing in Qiantang, a small amount of star drift particles should be used; When fishing in reservoirs and large ponds, a large number of floating stars should be used.

Fishing methods are different: if you choose a solid pendant for fishing, it is recommended to use a large number of floating stars; If you choose to fish with a hollow pendant, it is recommended to use a small number of floating stars.
