Hello, this is Madara of the tester.
This time it is about the total idea of the system.
It is a system of total balance that is meaningful only by combining systems, that is, individual parts.
Last time I talked about rods.
Actually, just changing the rod will change fishing.
However, it is goes one step further, considers the system that includes lines, hooks, reels, and even the rod angle, understands all the meanings, and assembles the parts will be an advanced game that.
Even if it is troublesome until to understand, once it is understood, it becomes a very interesting game fishing.
Let’s get into a concrete story.
Firstly, understand the line characteristics.
There are three types of lines on the fishing market. Nylon, fluorocarbon, PE, And recently, When the ester line is added, there are 4 types.
Let’s understand these characteristics well.
Firstly it is also the hardness, that is.. the speed at which the brake is applied after the fish hits.
Nylon
Until this point, I think that many people has choseing them and build.
There are other important factors.
That is buoyancy.
It also means increasing the buoyancy against the lure itself, but more specifically, considering the degree of lift by imagining the weakness against wind on the water and the buoyancy with respect to the distance from the line contact point of the water surface to the lure. please master the advanced idea of adjusting the speed and range of the spoon.
What line would you like to use if you want to use a Vespa 1.2g near the surface layer and have a spoon swim slowly without raising the rod angle?
If you try this, you can see it right away, but the thicker nylon line is for you. So what if use Fluoro? If you don’t wind up a little early, the range will go down. Then what if raise the rod? Many people do this, but it’s fine if you can raise the rod and catch it on the surface, but when you do not react, you will often hit if reel it horizontally. This is called a “Hikidashi”.
In the case of PE, it can be used in various ways by changing the leader, but there are also points to be noted in PE.
It is weak to the wind.
Do you think the spoon is swimming neatly in a state where the line is greatly swollen by the crosswind? Usually, the range and speed are messed up, and even if you hit it, it becomes fishing that is not reproducible.
By understanding the wind, buoyancy below the water surface, and braking, you can combine them to create various line systems.。
I often use that flying distance as an important factor. I can fly a lightweight spoon, have good sensitivity, support releasers, and more want to use the buoyancy of the line.
This messed up idea can be made possible by combining the lines.
The answer is to build a thick nylon line with buoyancy at the end of the fine ester line while supporting the releasers.
With a thick nylon buoyancy, the lightweight spoon can keep the range slowly, and since the line is 3 pounds or more, it is hard to break even if a releaser is used.
In this way, please thoroughly consider the characteristics of the fishing line, try various combinations, and figure out what kind of line to use in what situation. That is your “Hikidashi”.
Next time, we will talk about how to assemble the system including the rod, and thinking method. looking forward to!
