A hook is a commonly used fishing tool that consists of multiple hooks that can catch large fish at the bottom of the water. However, if you want to catch a fish with a ** hook, you need to master the correct bait method. Here are some tips and steps for hooking bait.
First of all, choose the right bait. Different fish have different preferences for different bait, so choose your bait according to your target fish. Generally speaking, there are two types of bait for hooks: one is natural bait, such as small fish, shrimp, earthworms, maggots, etc., the advantage of this bait is that it is fresh and attractive, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to unhook or be eaten by small fish;The other is artificial bait, such as soybean cake, corn, flour, etc., the advantage of this bait is that it is cheap and durable, and the disadvantage is that the fragrance is insufficient or not easy to dissipate. Therefore, depending on the situation, one or a combination of two types of bait can be used.
Secondly, prepare the bait. If you use artificial bait, pay attention to adjusting the viscosity and hardness of the bait so that it can both stick to the hook and spread out properly in the water. Generally speaking, liquids such as water, oil, wine, and flavors can be used to mix the bait to increase the humidity and flavor of the bait. You can also use fermented products such as koji wine, yogurt, and capers cake to ferment the bait to increase the sourness and smell of the bait. If you use natural bait, pay attention to keep the bait fresh and vibrant, and you can use salt, ice, plastic wrap and other methods to preserve the bait to avoid the bait from spoiling or dying.
Finally, bait correctly. There are many ways to apply the bait, which can be chosen according to the type of hook and the characteristics of the bait. Here's a common method of baiting:
1.Take out a piece of bait the size of an egg and rub it a few times with your hands to make it firmer and increase the stickiness of the bait.
2.Press out a groove on the bait with your thumb, clamp the thread on the top of the hook in the bait, and if there is a metal spring, put the spring on the groove as well.
3.Wrap the bait around the spring, then rub it a few times with your hands so that the bait completely wraps the spring and tightens it.
4.Distribute the hook evenly on the bait dough and insert the hook tip inward or outward. The advantage of the hook handle facing inward and the tip pointing outward is that even if the hook does not reach the fish's mouth, it is likely to hook onto the body, especially in winter when the fish has a small opening. The tail hook can be wrapped in a small ball of bait, or it can be hung with natural bait such as earthworms or corn.
5.Rub the bait a few times with your hands so that the hook is completely encased in the bait. Hold the bait with one hand and gently pull the line with the other hand to make the line even. Hold the bait tightly again and set aside.
In this way, the bait process of the ** hook is completed, and it can be cast into the water for fishing.
