Is the seven-star drift good or the vertical drift good?

The following questions are about whether the seven-star drift works well or the vertical drift works well:

First of all, let's talk about seven-star drift. The seven-star float is a traditional float for fishing, which is basically used in conjunction with the skyhook. Generally, it is seven floating beans, and many fish shops sell six floating beans, but it does not affect the use.

Because the seven-star drift is tied to the fishing line and is generally a single hook, the seven-star drift line group is very flexible when fishing. Under normal circumstances, the seven-star drift line group mainly fishes in shallow waters, even in shallow waters of tens of centimeters, and sometimes it can be used normally in slightly deeper waters.

You can also fish far with a long pole. Especially in the waters with dense aquatic plants, the seven-star drift line group can flexibly fish in various grass holes, grass edges, grass heads and other places. In the case of complex fishing environment, the seven-star drift line group can also be used freely.

Under normal circumstances, the seven-star drift line group basically uses long poles, and the length of the poles can range from eight or nine meters to more than ten meters. Taiwan Province fishing line group generally uses vertical drift, which is familiar to everyone, so I won't go into details here. Vertical drift is generally suitable for fishing in fishing spots and waters with spacious water surface and deep water level.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Seven-Star Drift and Vertical Drift Like these fishing conditions mentioned above, it is generally difficult to catch Taiwan Province Vertical Drift. For example, when the water is as shallow as tens of centimeters, the seven-star drift only needs to pull the floating beans down, while the vertical drift is very long. If you want to catch three or four eyes, you must pull the float to the end, even close to the lead pendant, so vertical drift is not applicable in this case.

In addition, when fishing grass holes and grass heads, the seven-star floating rod can put the bait into the fishing point very accurately without any effort. However, it is difficult to throw the hook and bait into the grass hole, grass head or grass gap when fishing in Taiwan Province. Even if the vertical drift line group can be put into the grass hole or grass head with a long pole, when the hook and bait enter the water, the vertical drift is not easy to turn over, and the vertical drift often trips over the grass when lifting the pole, which is very troublesome when fishing. Therefore, from these aspects, the seven-star drift still has certain advantages over the vertical drift.

In running water fishing, many people say that seven-star drift is better than vertical drift. In fact, this cannot be generalized. It may be said that the reason why Qixingpiao is good at resisting running water is that it basically lies at the bottom of the water with a hook and bait, and fishing is very dull, so it is more resistant to running water. This statement also makes sense. However, if seven-star drift and kareem abdul-jabbar are used in fishing, the tin in kareem abdul-jabbar is generally not very heavy, and it will be taken away by the current in running water.

If fishing is accompanied by wind and waves, floating beans will sink into the water with the wind and waves, so it is very difficult to watch floating. If the vertical float used for fishing in running water is adjusted more flexibly, it will definitely be unable to resist running water. However, when double lead or large lead is used, the effect of anti-running water will be obviously improved. Generally, when fishing in running water, the float can basically stand. If you fish in the same size of wind and waves, the effect of vertical drift is better than that of seven-star drift.

In terms of fishing tackle adjustment, the vertical float can adjust the float according to the fish situation, sometimes the height of the fishing rod can be raised, sometimes the height of the fishing rod can be lowered, and sometimes it can even be adjusted to fly lead fishing to catch low or middle-high fish. In short, the use of vertical floaters can constantly adjust the state of floaters and bait in water according to the water layer where fish are located.

When the vertical float is used to catch more fish (the fish mouth is better), every slight biting action of the fish will be shown on the float, thus improving the hook rate.

But in traditional fishing, the seven-star drift can only catch the bait undercover, and the pole can only catch the mouth. Therefore, the advantages of vertical drift in this respect are far better than those of seven-star drift, which is one of the reasons why many fishermen gradually like fishing in Taiwan Province and neglect traditional fishing in recent years.

Of course, many fishermen combine the seven-star drift with the Taiwan Province fishing line set when fishing, that is, they replace the vertical drift of the Taiwan Province fishing line set with a seven-star drift with a proper size, so that the hook and bait can be adjusted to various states when in use, and the fishing efficiency can be improved.

In short, still water fishing, whether with seven-star drift or vertical drift, will have its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, when fishing, we should decide whether to use seven-star drift or vertical drift according to the actual situation of fishing waters.

Under normal circumstances, shallow water depth, more aquatic plants, or complex and narrow environment around the fishing point are more suitable for traditional fishing. If the fish is in a good mood, deep in water, wide in fishing point and easy to lift the pole, it is generally suitable for fishing in Taiwan Province.

In addition, the improved seven-star drift (that is, the combination of the above-mentioned seven-star drift and Taiwan Province fishing line group) is also effective in fishing shallow water and grass holes (grass holes should be equipped with long poles). In fact, when fishing, sometimes you don't have to stick to a certain way, but you should think more and be flexible, as long as you can catch fish.
