Equipment section

Bait: krill

The most important thing about squid fishing is shrimps, which have little sense of smell and rely on their bright, big eyes to track their prey. So the craftsmanship and design of krill is particularly important!

According to the editor`s practice for many years, it is suggested that the color of krill with reflective sequins is pink, green and orange.

Tools: fishing rod | fishing wheel | fishing line

With light equipment, fishing rods are recommended to use long, thin and hard poles (for throwing prawns)

It is recommended to use thin nylon thread or braided fish thread (to facilitate the natural posture of krill in the water)

Fishing chapte

Squid fishing, also known as squid, as the name implies, is to twitch bait to imitate shrimp in the water movement.

1: let`s tie the prawns to the line first.

2: measure the speed at which krill sink to the bottom by allowing it to sink freely and calculate the time it takes to reach the bottom. For example, 10 seconds to the bottom of the prawn, then we throw 10 seconds after the bait, the shrimp basically to the end, can start twitching.

3: the shrimp is thrown to wait for the shrimp to sink (the sinking time is calculated in step 2).

Tighten the line and pull the rod 2-3 times to make the shrimp jump in the water and wait again for the shrimp to sink.

Tip:

Squid will only attack when the shrimps sink! Squid will only attack when the shrimps sink! Squid will only attack when the shrimps sink! Important things are to be repeated for 3 times!

In the event of hanging the earth, you need to reduce the sinking time!

Repeat the above steps until step 4 feels something hanging on the line and regular activity.

Congratulations! Yummy squid`s on the hook!

After the hook, do not worry, slowly close the line. Because the squid is soft, the cord will be taken off soon.

Tips for squid fishing:

Squid likes to feed when the wind and calm, cloudy days will reduce the vigilance of squid. Clear water can allow squid to see the shrimp in the water better, more conducive to squid fishing.

Of course ~ also depends on the weather and the mood of the squid!

Wish everyone can harvest full!
