What Hook for Catfish

The hook is a necessary tool for fishing. The quality of the hook determines the success rate of catching fish. Then according to the weight of the catfish, we can choose the best hook model. If the weight of the catfish is heavier than the average catfish, then you can use the No. 2 hook to fish for catfish; otherwise, we must consider the load-bearing capacity of the hook, and choose a smaller type of hook to catch catfish.

2. Select the hook according to the weather temperature
The temperature is also a factor for the use of fish hooks when fishing for catfish. Many people must think that the temperature has nothing to do with the type of fish hook, but this is not the case. Some temperature changes cause The size of the catfish’s mouth, and the temperature is too high or too low for the catfish to eat. So we try to use the No. 1 hook for fishing. If the current temperature is clear and sunny, we don’t need to think about this.

3. Select the hook according to the opening of the catfish

The size of the catfish’s mouth determines what type of hook we should choose. If the catfish’s mouth is too small, we use size 2 The hook will cause the catfish to easily eat the bait and escape because the hook is too large. So when the catfish has a big mouth, we use the No. 2 hook; when the catfish’s mouth is too light, we can choose the No. 1 hook to fish for catfish.

The wine-soaked millet should first make nests, and attract small fish into the nests. The catfish found a small group of fish and rushed out to ‘meet’. Big float and heavy drop, big fishing hook, 0.5mm thick fishing line. Use a small loach for hooking, or a large cyan earthworm. It was found that the blisters in the nest were blistered and densely rising. This is the catfish entering the nest, and do not delay in entering the rod. But seeing the floating and sinking, the catfish will be caught with nine out of ten. Catfish bites are more deadly, and decoupling rarely occurs.

Forty or fifty meters thick fishing line, the lead sinker is in the front and the hook is in the back. Four or five hooks are tied to them, about half a meter apart. Tie a wooden stick at the other end of the fishing line, insert it on the shoreline and release it. Use large earthworms as bait, no fishing rod and no float. The fishing point is selected at the water inlet, and the catfish must pass through for food. The backwater bay is even better, and several long lines are thrown into the water. Take the hook in the evening and collect the fish the next morning.

Six-meter thick single-section fishing rod, 3??9 strands of nylon line. The line is three meters longer than the fishing rod, and an iron ring is attached to the bottom of the rod. The wire is passed through the iron ring, and one end is fixed to the top of the rod. The other end is tied with two crooked hooks, and the floating lead pendants are all free. The river is steep and deep, and the fishing spot is selected at the exit of the swirl nest. Use small flying squirrels for hooking, and hook the hooks on the back of the neck and buttocks. The barbs of the hook tip are completely exposed, and the two hooks are applied in opposite directions. The angler squatted on the river bank, holding the fishing rod in both hands at the same time. The flying squirrel was half a centimeter away from the water and let its four claws kick the bullets. Seeing the delicious food, the catfish jumped out of the water and came closer.

The bait hook should not be left out of the water, and it should not be submerged in the water. The catfish spotted the frog ‘jumping’ and jumped out of the water to swim forward. Use the tentacles to test first, then use the tail fan. When it finds that there is no abnormality, it comes up and swallows it.

Cautions for Catfish Fishing

1. Catfish look fierce and crazy when they are hooked, but in fact catfish are sensitive and tricky Fish, all its movements are very flexible, if a pond is caught with a fishing net, it will take at least 3 to 5 days to dare to catch the hook. If you find a net caught in a ditch, don’t hook it.

2. The catfish is very flexible when it bites the hook. It is necessary to grasp the timing, that is, to wait for the catfish to bite the hook and turn back and throw the hook in time. The second is to use force, and the third is to be fast.

3. It is also important to choose a fishing rod. Remember not to use high-quality bamboo as a fishing rod. Because when the catfish bites the hook, it will turn back and run. If the fishing rod is too hard and not tenacious, and the catfish is very sensitive, it can spit the hook at any time, and no harvest can be obtained. Very sharp and fast, it will not hook into the mouth shell, and it is easy to unhook.

4. Be able to read Feng Shui and see the topography of the ditch, pond, and lake.

(1) To look at feng shui is to look at the weather. No matter what season, if you encounter winds above level 5, it is not suitable for catfish fishing, because the water waves are large, and catfish seldom swim and feed by the water. , generally sink to the bottom of the water. If you want to fish, you can only find the edge of the water against the wind and waves or the places with water plants and water gaps.

(2) Look at the topography of the ditch and pond, that is, first hook from the ditch, the tip, the bay, and the concave and convex places. At the same time, it depends on the slope of the edge. During the day, catfish find water edges with small slopes for food. In the morning and evening, catfish often swim to the edges with large slopes to feed. At night, catfish often live in waters with large slopes.

(3) Mixed water is a good water for catfish fishing. There are two types of mixed water, one is surface mixed water and the other is green mixed water. If there is no grass, you must fish along the water’s edge, using the shaking method or the dragging method. Remember not to fish in the middle of the water. If there is grass in the mixed water, you should fish the water first and then the nest. If there are many catfish in it, you can also cross-fish. During the day, do not hook at the water’s edge where people and cars are frequented.

(4) Look at the sources of ditches, ponds, dams, dams, ponds, and marshes. Look at the width and look at the depth, whether the catfish can survive in it. If you go to a new ditch and pond according to the above fishing method, try several places, and there is no catfish to catch the hook, it means that there are few catfish in it, you must transfer it in time and find another place.
