The role of fish drift

The main function of fish float is to send information to anglers. Because the hook is underwater, the angler can't accurately judge whether the fish bites the hook. With the float, the state of the hook can be transmitted to the float through the fishing group. Once the fish bites the hook, the float will swing from side to side, allowing the angler to close the line in time to prevent the fish from unhooking.

There are many ways to fish. Float is an essential part in fishing, table fishing and sea fishing. The most common float is vertical, which can stand upright on the water surface after entering the water. In addition, there are horizontal floats, spherical floats and line floats, but these are not commonly used.

Before fishing, you must choose a suitable fishing spot, and then choose the float according to the depth of the fishing spot, the speed of water flow and the fishing method, which is not only conducive to accurately judging the situation of fish biting, but also can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Generally speaking, floaters and plumb pendants are complementary.

Anyone who likes fishing knows that it is necessary to adjust the drift after drifting. The important pillar used in floating adjustment is the lead pendant. Increasing or decreasing the weight of the lead weight can not only change the sensitivity of floating, but also make the hook in different water layers, so that fish living in various water layers can be caught and the catch rate can be improved.

If you are fishing in fast-flowing waters, or if you encounter a situation where small fish nest, you should adjust the sensitivity of the float to "slow". Only when the fish bite the hook will the float change, and the angler can avoid missing some big fish because of misjudgment. If the water is calm, you need to set the float to "spirit".

In fact, the role of the float is far more than that. On the wide water surface, it can also help the angler to know the specific position of the fishing point, which is convenient for the angler to judge whether the hook has been thrown into the nest. Different fish have different reactions to biting hooks and floating. Experienced anglers can also judge the species of fish according to the floats.
