Recently, fishing friends often ask how to match different rod and line sets. I thought of simply writing an article to talk about it in an all-round way. Friends who need it can save it, and it can be easily viewed when it is needed. The average personal experience described in this article does not mean that it is absolutely correct. After all, fishing requires flexibility and needs to be adjusted according to the conditions of the fish, the environment, and personal skills, so the article is for reference only. Note: This article is the most basic article. It is aimed at novice friends, and old fishermen do not need to waste time reading it.
Generally speaking, a short rod is used for small fish, and a long rod is used for big fish. It just so happens that small fish do not need very thick lines and large floats, but big fish only need them. Therefore, under normal circumstances, a short rod with a small hook and a thin line is used to catch small fish, and a long rod with a thick hook and a large line is used to catch big fish, so there is no problem in using it. However, some fishermen like to use long rods to catch small fish. For example, using 5.4 and 6.3 rods to catch small crucian carp is more troublesome at this time. cannot be thrown out. The first prerequisite for the selection and matching of equipment is to be able to ensure normal use, so using a long rod must be matched with a larger float. If you can't cast it smoothly, how can you fish? Or it is very difficult to throw it out, and the fishing experience is not enough.
Fishing rods under 4.5 meters are short rods for me, mainly for fishing small fish, such as crucian carp, white stripe, mackerel, and so on. Generally speaking, the main line is not more than 1.2, the sub-line is not more than 0.8, the hook is basically below the size of 4, and the amount of lead eaten by the float is less than 2 grams. Take a 3.6-meter fishing rod as an example, I usually use 1+0.6 with a sleeve hook of size 3 and below, and the float will eat more than one gram of lead (use a larger float for the depth of the water). Of course, it depends on the condition of the fish. If you are fishing for small white strips and wheat ears, the hook may be No. 1 or even No. 0.5. However, I don’t like fishing for small fish, and there is no very thin line. 4.5 meters to 5.4 meters, this is neither long nor short, catching some comprehensive fish. What is comprehensive fish love? It is the fish that is not too big or not, from a few taels to a few kilograms or even ten kilograms. I use this type of fishing rod the most. In terms of line group, most of the main lines start from No. 1, and the maximum can be used for No. 3 and No. 4, and the sub-line ranges from 0.6 to No. 3. Fish hooks are generally of medium thickness, such as Haixi, Izu, and New Kanto. The amount of lead that floats eats is also relatively large, 1.5 grams, 1.8 grams, or 1.3 or 4 grams.
It mainly depends on what kind of fish you want to catch. For larger crucian carp and small carp weighing less than two or three pounds, use a No. 1 or 2 main line, 0.8 or 1.0 sub-line is no problem, and only use about 2 grams for floating. But for example, fishing in some small rivers and wild ponds, where the fishing rod does not need to be very long, but you want to catch bigger fish, such as carp, grass carp, or even bigger fish with four or five pounds of. Then I might use a stronger fishing rod. For example, I often use 5.4-meter rebar to guard carp in some Ono Rivers. Like this kind of carp rod and big object rod, even if it is short, it is still very heavy and hard. For larger fish, the line set should still be thicker and the float should be focused. You can use a 3+2 as well. I took a video of using rebar before, and many fishermen also said that the 4+3 line set is matched. Woolen cloth. Fishing rods of 6.3 meters and longer, such long rods are generally aimed at big fish, so let’s take big fish as an example. The line group should start with at least 3+2. This should be a softer rod. If the rod is thick and hard, you can go to 4+3, 5+4, or even thicker. Fish hooks are generally thick hooks such as Iceni, Koiso, and Chidori. As for the size, it depends on how big the fish you catch. I use Iceni more, and use a fishing rod above 6.3 to keep the size. Fish, basically the starting point is number eight and number nine. The lead should be larger for the float, and the floating tail can be thickened. Usually, a float of more than three or four grams is recommended. The fish weighing ten to twenty pounds does not care about the weight. On the contrary, if the float is too small, it will cause poor casting and many signals.
