A complete guide to choosing fishing gear for summer fishing

　　Summer fishing is better either floating fishing or bottom fishing

　　Fish can be divided into bottom fish, middle layer fish and upper layer fish according to their living habits. Crucian carp and carp belong to the bottom fish species, silver carp, bighead carp and grass carp belong to the middle and upper layer fish species, while some small fish such as white fish (commonly known as Baitiao), horse mouth, Xige, red scale and green scale fish belong to the upper layer fish. Therefore, the fishing method adopted mainly depends on the type of fish being caught. Of course, some fish will also change the water layer in which they swim under special circumstances. Fishing for crucian carp generally adopts the bottom fishing method. If the density of fish in the fish pond is high, fish may float during fishing. At this time, the fishing method must be adjusted to floating fishing in time.

　　It is better to use a long or short pole for fishing in summer

　　Fishing rods can be divided into three categories based on length. Hand rods: long rods above 6.3 meters, standard rods between 4.5 and 5.4 meters, and short rods below 3.6 meters. Summer fishing is also divided into pond fishing and field fishing. Of course, long rods are used in general waters in the wild, mainly to fish far and deep. Commonly used rod lengths are 6.3 meters and 7.2 meters. Rods that are too long are heavy and cumbersome and inconvenient to operate. Of course, if you want to catch grass in summer, you can also choose 8 meters or 9 meters for long rod and short line fishing. Rods above 10 meters are not used much in the north. However, in summer, many fishing enthusiasts like to fish for white fish (white stripes) in the wild or carp in ponds. They usually choose short poles below 4.5 meters. The end poles have the characteristics of light rubbing, convenience and sensitivity.

　　What fishing line is good for summer fishing?

　　After the fish wake up in the spring, the fish's physical strength recovers and it becomes powerful and swims fast. The fish being caught has a very strong struggling force, and its strength can generally reach 4-5 times the weight of the fish itself. Therefore, the fishing line in summer is thicker than that in spring fishing.

　　For field fishing with a hand rod, you can generally choose No. 2-3 fishing line. The specific line number depends on the species of fish you are fishing. If you are fishing for crucian carp, you can choose No. 2 fishing line. If you specialize in carp, then choose No. 3 fishing line. The brain line can be one size smaller than the main line. If you are fishing with a throwing rod, the line number should be No. 4. Fishing lines are divided into sub-lines (brain lines) and main lines (big lines) according to their functions. The softness, strength, and draft of fishing lines for the two functions are different.
