Earthworms have always enjoyed the title of "universal bait" in the fishing circle, and there are many anglers who have caught fish for half their lives, and there is only one kind of bait, that is, earthworms.
But there are also some anglers who don't like to use earthworms, saying that only novices can use earthworms to fish! Another reason is that earthworms do not have atomization in the water to change the flavor pattern like commercial bait, so if you want to catch fish quickly, you have to use pull bait or rub bait.
As long as you can use the operation, then the speed of using earthworms to fish will not be worse than that of commercial bait, so let's understand how to improve the speed of earthworms on fish.
The first method: fishing with earthworms should be nested in advance
Some anglers think that earthworm fishing does not need to make a nest, which is also one of the reasons for the slow fishing, no matter what kind of bait is used to fish, this nest must be played, unless it is in some special environment will not be nested, such as the water flow is rapid, the river water is turbid on rainy days, etc.
Although the earthworm itself has a very strong fishy smell, but its role in attracting fish is limited, in the wild fishing environment want the fish to be hooked quickly, then the best way is to make a nest first, and with earthworms to do the nest in advance, after the nest can wait for about half an hour before the rod.
This is the commercial bait in the process of fishing, the bait scattered on the hook can do the role of fishing while fishing, and the earthworm can not do this, it must first rely on enough nest material to attract the fish to the nest, and then can quickly catch the fish.
The second method: use earthworms to cut off and stun
If you want the earthworm to fish quickly, do not cut it off or stun it when hooking, some anglers in order to hook their own convenience, in advance to stun the earthworm, such an operation can only be said to be convenient for themselves, no benefit to fishing at all, unless there are a lot of fish in the river.
Fish like to eat earthworms not only like the taste of earthworms, but also the immovable and immovable earthworms in two states, for the fish in the water, the movable ones can stimulate their desire to bite the hook, and the immovable earthworms are very bland.
There are also some anglers in order to save earthworms, the earthworms cut off after hooking, although this can also catch fish, but it is more difficult to quickly catch fish, and the same as stunning earthworms, the earthworms will lose their vitality after being truncated, and it is easy to turn white after the hook is launched, so it is difficult to be concerned by the fish, let alone eat it.
The third method: use a combination of commercial bait and earthworms
This is the most common method for many anglers, using earthworms and commercial bait to fish at the same time, two hooks, one side to hang commercial bait, one side to hang earthworms, so that you can do the combination of lure fishing and fast fishing.
Although this method can improve the speed of earthworms on the fish, it also has some disadvantages, because it is easy to cause drifting confusion while hanging the earthworm while hanging the commercial bait, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the fish is eating the commercial bait or the earthworm, and sometimes it is easy to cause the strand to be entangled and knotted.
In order to avoid the occurrence of this kind of situation, you can use a single hook to hang a loose cannon for fishing, hang earthworms on the hook, hang a loose cannon on the lead seat, do not need to bring a loose cannon every time, bring it once after an interval of several rods, so as to ensure that there is a nest material in the nest at the same time, it will not cause drifting mess and wire entanglement.
Whether it is a commercial bait used in fishing, or an earthworm used, whether it is good or not depends on whether we can use it, and it is not like some anglers say, fishing with earthworms is a novice, such a view can only prove that they have not yet started fishing.
