In the vast and poetic fishing world, the drifting formula has always been a topic of conversation among fishing friends. In fact, the art of fishing is simple but not simple, a set of universal drifting formula, can indeed bring a lot of surprises to friends who fish crucian carp and carp.
First, it's important to understand that the universal drift formula is not a static rule, it needs to be fine-tuned according to the specific water, weather, and Xi of the target species. However, the basic formula has its universal beauty, that is, it is based on the principle of "four points of the sky, six points of the earth", that is to say, forty percent of the float is exposed to the surface of the water, and sixty percent is hidden underwater, so as to achieve a sensitive and stable effect.
For crucian carp and carp, we should also pay attention to the choice of drifting body when adjusting the drift. In general, we recommend using a more sensitive drift in order to catch the subtle movements of these deep-diving fish in autumn and winter. When fishing crucian carp in still water, you can use a short-tail float, while for flowing water carp, a long-tail float is more conducive to stabilizing the hook.
Then, the careful counterweight is also the key, and the float needs to be matched with a lead skin of the appropriate weight, so that the part of the float that is exposed to the water surface can just withstand the top disturbance of the water flow and keep the drift body vertical. In practice, it may be necessary to fine-tune the weight of the lead skin according to the actual situation, which tests the experience and intuition of the angler.
Of course, drifting is only one part of the myriad of fishing methods, and a good drift often needs to be used in conjunction with the right casting point, the right bait, and the right fishing method. As the saying goes, "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", a properly adjusted fishing rod can make the obscure lake water instantly become lively and interesting.
Some anglers may think that there are more variables in the drifting formula, and relying on the formula cannot perfectly cope with all situations. This is indeed the charm of fishing, every attack is a dialogue with nature, and every adjustment you make, nature will respond.
And are you ready to start this feast with nature?May this universal formula accompany you in the early morning mist or in the afterglow of the sunset, and enjoy the endless fun of fishing until the basket is full of fish and satisfied.
