Illustration How to Hook Earthworms for Fishing

"Catching crucian carp with red earthworms is a classic bait. When fishing with earthworms, you should pay attention to baiting (hanging bait) skills. The types and sizes of fish are different, and the forms and methods of baiting are also different. The hook methods of earthworm mainly include knot hanging, winding hanging, pipe hanging, waist hanging and tail hanging. The following pictures and texts introduce these six kinds of earthworm hook methods.

1. earthworm suspension method

Knot hanging is also called paragraph hanging. You can put a red earthworm on your palm and knock it out. You can pinch it into small pieces with your fingers, and take one of them and hang it on the tip of the hook for fishing. Its length depends on the size of the hook. In most cases, it is hung by small earthworms, mainly by small hooks, with a length of about 5 ~10 mm. A red earthworm can be divided into three parts: head and neck, waist and tail. The head and waist are the reddest, followed by the tail. When fishing small crucian carp, it is better to lure fish with earthworm's head and waist than with its tail. There are two ways to use the bait hook on the head and neck of earthworm: one is to pick it up and hang it on the hook tip; One is to pierce from the tip of the earthworm's mouth and hang it on the hook tip without exposing the hook tip. Hanging from the pinch point on the hook tip. The hook tip can't penetrate the tip of the mouth. Hold the tip of the earthworm's mouth with your nails to expose the red dot, and the hook tip can't be exposed. It seems trivial to pinch the tip of earthworm's mouth, but the effect of pinching is different from that of not biting fish, which cannot be ignored.

When fishing small crucian carp in wild ponds and wild water, you must hang knotted bait, especially in the clear water of Sicaotang and Lotus Pond, you must use fine hooks and baits, because the earthworm with knots is only one grain long. Therefore, the knot crane is also called rice crane, which is roughly equal to the length of rice grains with white rice and white flour. Fishing for earthworms is also called fishing for red crucian carp. Red food is better than white food (excluding Taiwan Province fish powder bait).

Hook the bait with a knot to catch a single hook or a double hook. Mainly fishing for clear water and shallow water, not deep water and muddy water. In clear water and shallow water, it can also be used to catch swimming fish (pomfret) and tender fish. It is easy to get rid of bait when tying a knot, and a lot of bait is often needed. You can knead small earthworms into many small pieces and put them in wet towels to keep them fresh. You can fish in summer. This method is often used to store earthworms, which can prevent the bait from being blown dry by the wind.

2. Method of hanging earthworms through pipes

Thread hanging is also called bag hook hanging. Choose an earthworm according to the size of the hook, put it on the palm of your hand, knead it into two parts from the waist, take bait from the head, put the hook tip through the Neko and wrap it around the hook in an arc shape. The hook stops at the head of the earthworm, and the tip of the hook does not sting the tip of the mouth. Just like knotting, pinching the tip of earthworm with nails to expose the body can increase the effect of attracting fish.

Hanging tube is a widely used bait method, which can catch many kinds of fish, such as crucian carp, carp, bream, grass carp, etc., as well as catfish, firewood and other fierce fish. Because the arc of the bucket is very similar to that of shrimp, it is easy for the fish to catch up with the food. Coupled with the excellent concealment, it is easy to be sucked into the fish mouth, which constitutes the advantage of hanging fishing with barrels and becomes the first choice for earthworm fishing. You can fish in shallow water or deep water by hanging pipes; You can fish with a fishing rod or hook. Fishing shallow water with a hand pole requires fine hooks and baits, and fishing deep water requires large hooks and baits. No matter how deep you fish, you can match the halogen bait, and the halogen powder can be used repeatedly and continuously to play the role of filling the nest and attracting fish. The halogen powder is mainly bean powder, and the effect is better. Hanging a string hook through a pipe is mainly used for fishing clear water during the day, not suitable for deep-water fishing and night fishing. It is not good to fish in muddy water or at night.

To catch big fish in deep water by hanging pipes, it is necessary to combine the skills of attracting fish and lure them to bite. To catch big crucian carp, you can use a gentle tease that moves up and down (for carp, grass carp, catfish and other fish, you can use a gentle tease that moves back and forth from left to right). The moving radius of the hook is about 10 cm, and it can be moved backwards once, twice or thrice, and the moving speed should be slow and even, like the movement of shrimp and insects in water, attracting fish to bite the hook.

3. Method of winding and hanging earthworms

Fishing by winding earthworms on a hook is called hanging around. There are two kinds of winding suspension methods: one is hanging from the tail to the head; One is hanging from the head and winding to the tail. No matter from which end, the head and tail of the earthworm should keep crawling on the hook. Therefore, the part where the fishhook passes through the earthworm body needs to be mastered. After the hook passes through the earthworm's body, the earthworm is wound backwards and repeated many times, so that the waist of the earthworm is wound around the bottom of the hook. When winding, it is necessary to prevent the earthworm from being pulled off, causing re-feeding and wasting time.

Entanglement is live bait, and the advantages of deep-water fishing in muddy water are obvious (the visibility of deep-water in muddy water is reduced, and creeping earthworms can attract the attention of fish). Fishing in deep water will inevitably put down the bait and pull it up. Winding suspension can prevent bait from falling off, especially when it is used to catch big crucian carp, it will feel particularly handy.

By winding and hanging the hook, the effect is very obvious. Because it is live bait, you can catch many kinds of fish, except crucian carp, white fish, bream, herring, grass carp and catfish. In late autumn and early winter, crucian carp should be caught with string hooks, and wrapped bait should be used (crucian carp prefer live bait in cold weather). In summer, it is safer to fish in running water with winding bait.

It is worth noting that the winding hook is not suitable for fishing in clear water and shallow water, especially for small crucian carp. The bait around the hook is relatively large, so it is difficult for small crucian carp to get the bait into their mouths. Furthermore, the head and tail of the earthworm move on the hook, which will cause the small crucian carp to bite and produce false information, which is not good for fishing. In shallow water and clear water, it is more suitable to use pipe hanging and knot hanging fishing.

4. Lumbar hanging earthworm method

Take any earthworm and hook it through the waist, only once. This form of bait is called waist hanging. Waist hanging is also a live bait fishing, which is mainly used for fishing crucian carp and carp in muddy water, and can also catch fierce fish, such as catfish and firewood.

Earthworms hanging around the waist will keep crawling as long as they don't die. This kind of live bait can attract the attention of fish in muddy water, especially for catching large carp and crucian carp over 500 grams. As sure as a gun, it is related to the live bait that carp and crucian carp like big moves.

Hooking or hanging fishing is mainly used to catch fierce fish. Earthworms should not be too long when fishing string hooks. If it is too big and too long, the fish will only drag the bait away, and the hook will not get into the fish's mouth, so it is easy to have an empty hook. Therefore, the size and length of earthworm should be selected by the hook hanging at the waist. Hanging from the waist and hanging fishing, mainly fishing white fish and firewood fish. And hang the big earthworm with a big hook. Chai Yu has many water bodies, and can even hang big black earthworms for fishing (Chai Yu prefers black food). Stop fishing with your waist, and the action of stopping fishing must be delayed. Don't lift the fish as soon as the buoy sinks into the water. Leave enough time for the hook to enter the fish mouth, and then stop the fish.

5. Hanging earthworm method

Row hanging is also called heap hanging. Hang three or five large earthworms on the hook by waist hanging, and the heads and tails of the earthworms will be twisted into a ball. So the bait hanging on the row is also called dumpling bait and lump bait. Bent frame is mainly used to catch catfish, which can be caught by car poles or sea poles. When fishing jiaozi with a pole, the brain line should be long, and the bait should be able to swing in the water, and its length should be not less than 20 cm; When fishing for sea poles in deep pools, the brain line should be shortened, and the bait should be prevented from winding on the main line when throwing the poles. The length depends on the hardness of the brain line. Pay more attention to this problem when tying the hook with a soft cord.

Hanging mainly uses the shape and smell of bait to lure fish to bite the hook. Catfish are mostly caught at night (or in muddy water during the day). Because catfish is a bottom fish, the visibility at the bottom of the water is quite low at night. Tuanzi bait is a big bait and a group bait, which is large in size and strong in smell, and it is easy for catfish to find hook bait (it is difficult to catch catfish with small hook bait at night).

When jiaozi bait is used to catch catfish, whether it is a cart pole or a sea pole, the fish should brake hard when biting the hook. When the brake is light, the earthworm lump will get stuck in the hook tip, which will cause the hook not to penetrate into the fish mouth and unhook the fish. The effect of jiaozi bait on middle-level fierce fish is not obvious

6. Tail hanging earthworm method

Take any big earthworm (red or black), pinch off a short tail tip, use a big hook to pass through the broken part of the tail tip, cover it on the hook body, and leave the head and waist of the earthworm outside the hook tip and twist it. This is the tail. Tail-hanging is mainly used to catch fierce fish in large reservoirs, and it can be hung or snorkelled. Hanging is mainly aimed at white fish, and snorkelling is mainly aimed at catfish.

Fishing in the reservoir should be based on fishing and throwing poles. When fishing is suspended, lengthen the brain line (not less than 50 cm) and let the earthworm twist freely in the water. When fishing to the bottom, the brain line should not be more than 20 cm long. When throwing the rod, it is necessary to prevent the hook and bait from winding on the main line, and pay more attention to this problem when tying the hook with soft silk. In the water where catfish are cultured, fishing can be hung from top to bottom with a hand pole, which is easy to catch. Of course, the effect of hanging around the waist and in rows is also good. Hanging tail is a special practice, and hanging tail fishing needs more skills.

In the winter when fish are not easy to get hooked, bait and skills should keep pace with the times. Pay attention to the "how to fish" of WeChat official account, reply to keywords such as "crucian carp", and immediately know the most suitable bait and skills for fishing crucian carp this season!
