This meal has been eaten for 3 hours, during the banquet, under the gaze of the old man Fu, Master Yang ate less and talked more, basically said what Hong Tao asked and what he didn't ask, and he really had nothing to say after the end, so he barely ate a few bites. In addition, Yang Gaoshou also promised Hong Tao to help him register next week, just next Thursday, there is a "Community Cup Fishing Competition" held in Changping, the level of this competition is relatively low, Yang Gaofu means to let Hong Tao go where to familiarize himself with the environment, adapt to the atmosphere of the game.

Thousands of thanks to the old man Fu and Master Yang sent away, Hong Tao and a few people returned to the fishing tackle shop, listening to the words of the insiders just now, Hong Tao finally has some general understanding of this competitive fishing, but if you want to fully figure it out, you have to rely on your own participation and slowly explore, just listening to people say that it is useless.

Since he is going to participate in the competition next Thursday, there are less than 5 days to go, Hong Tao still has a lot of things to prepare, since he is going to participate, he has to have a competition. First of all, the equipment needs to be improved, it turns out that Hong Tao is fishing and playing on the back sea, and the fishing tackle left by Dad also belongs to the amateur level of the amateur, so basically Hong Tao has to buy a new set of fishing tackle.

However, Wang Jian stopped Wang Jian from this idea, he thought that the main purpose of the first competition was to try whether Hong Tao's bait was suitable in the breeding pond of competitive fishing, so there was no need to spend thousands of yuan to buy a new set of fishing tackle, and he would make do with it first.

Wang Jian bought this set of fishing tackle when he bought it in Dachang, and he didn't know much about fishing at that time, so he listened to the introduction of the owner of the fishing tackle shop and bought it according to the requirements of competitive fishing, so his set of fishing tackle was able to cope with the fishing competition.

Hong Tao listened, yes, although buy a set of fishing tackle as long as don't burn the bag, it's not too expensive, but thousands of dollars are not blown by the wind, you can save it, in case your own bait is not applicable in the breeding pond, you can't get good results, then it's not a loss.

In addition to fishing tackle, Hong Tao also has to step up the practice of basic skills, because next Thursday's competition is based on the number of fish caught to determine the results, according to Yang master, the pond is mostly 1, 2 small crucian carp, the density is very large, if you want to get good results, you must throw the rod, bait, pick fish to practice more skillful, don't affect the ranking because of these small details.

Hong Tao is still relatively proficient in the basic techniques of throwing a rod, putting on the bait, controlling the fish, and picking the fish, after all, he has been fishing for more than ten years in his previous life, but according to the standards of competitive fishing, Hong Tao's skills are not qualified. An ordinary competitive angler can reach speeds of up to 200 small crucian carp per hour, and a master of competitive fishing can catch more than 300 small crucian carp per hour, and some people can even reach 400.

According to this speed, you have to go up to 5 fish per minute, and you have to add a series of actions such as throwing the rod, sinking the hook and bait into the water, the fish floating, the fish eating the bait and the fish floating, lifting the rod back to the fish, and putting the fish into the fish protection, the time is very tight, but any delay or pause will affect this speed.

However, Hong Tao still has ways to increase the speed of certain parts of the process, such as the time between the bait sinks and the fish floats. Most of the ponds are between 1 and 5 to 2 meters deep, and the bait and hook fall to the bottom of the pond and wait for the fish to float up for about 5 seconds.

In the previous life, when the sport of fishing became more and more developed, many players in competitive fishing tried to save their time in this aspect, so some people tried a way to fish floats, the term is called "fishing water skin", that is, the hook does not fall to the bottom of the pond, but the distance between the hook and the fish float is adjusted very short, so that the hook is suspended dozens of centimeters below the water surface, the term is called "fishing float".

In this way, it saves a few seconds, but there is also a big trouble, that is, the crucian carp is generally a kind of demersal fish, although the artificially farmed crucian carp also return to the middle and upper layers of the water to forage for bait, but their nature still likes to go to the middle and lower layers of the water, so how to ensure that the bottom fish are attracted to the surface of the water, is a problem.

However, Hong Tao can solve this problem, he has special baits, if it can work on artificially farmed fish in the breeding pond, then it is not a problem to lure them to the middle and upper layers of the water to eat bait, so that Hong Tao's speed will be faster.

In addition to this link, Hong Tao can also get a little advantage in the double hook link, since it is the use of 2 hooks, and both hooks are baited, so why not wait for the two hooks to fish and then lift the rod, in this way, the same rod once, the number of fish will be doubled, which is very helpful for increasing the speed.

However, the difficulty of this kind of double-tailed fishing technique is relatively high, and the angler should be very clear about the first action of the fish drift, and then find the second action of the fish drift in a very short time, so that he can get on the double tail. If there is a slight delay between the second action and the first action, the first fish to eat the bait has already spit the hook out of its mouth, and you may be a fish or an empty hook when you lift the rod again.

However, this problem is not difficult for Hong Tao, as long as his special effect bait works in this pond, then he dares to guarantee that the double hook will be snatched by the fish in the water, so the probability of double tails should be very large, so the most important thing in the final analysis of fishing is bait, and all other aspects are auxiliary nature. No matter how good your skills are and how skilled you are, if the fish don't bite the hook, you still can't catch it.

Finally, Hong Tao also has a homemade secret weapon, that is, a self-made hook picker. When the fisherman catches the fish, regardless of the size of the fish, if you reach out and catch it and then pick the hook, the speed will be relatively slow, and it is easy for the fish to fall off the hook and fall into the pond, because the hooks of competitive fishing do not have barbs, and the fish can easily break free.

In order to solve this problem, fishing tackle manufacturers install a steel needle with the thickness of a toothpick on the ring mouth of the fish protection, when there is a fish on the hook, as long as the fish is brought back, and then the steel needle is pulled with the fishing line attached to the steel needle, the steel needle will be pushed along the fishing line to the mouth of the fish, and then the fish will fall down from the hook to the fish protection, so that the speed of picking fish can be accelerated.

But this steel needle is sometimes not very easy to use, because one end of it is fixed on the ring of the fish protection, and one end is suspended in the middle of the fish protection, with a certain length, and the steel wire is relatively thin, so that when you use a little force, the steel wire will be deformed, affecting the speed of your fish picking.

Hong Tao's solution is very simple, is to remove this half of the steel wire, and then pull a steel wire horizontally on the circle mouth of the fish protection through the entire fish protection, and then both sides are fixed on the ring mouth, so that the circle mouth of the fish protection is divided into two halves, when picking fish, as long as the fishing line is pulled along the steel wire, it doesn't matter if the force is larger, because both ends of the steel wire are fixed, will not be deformed, and will not affect the speed of picking fish.

With these tricks learned in his previous life, and with the addition of special effect baits, although it was the first time for Hong Tao to participate in this kind of formal competitive fishing competition, he was not very nervous, and his confidence was still quite strong. But Wang Jian and Gao Fat are not very optimistic about the prospect of Hong Tao to participate in the competition, one day Yang Master told the situation of competitive fishing when the two of them were also present, when they heard that there are so many rules and exquisiteness in fishing, they all said that this thing is too tiring, they can't play, and also persuaded Hong Tao not to work this god, like going to sport fishing, earn more money and spend money yourself, although distressed but compared to this competitive fishing competition to get a good ranking is still more reliable.

But Hong Tao didn't listen to their advice and insisted on going, and the two of them couldn't control this, so they could only help Hong Tao prepare for the game as much as possible.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and early on Thursday morning, Hong Tao came to the fishing tackle shop as usual, counted Wang Jian's fishing tackle again, and then moved it to the front of the counter and put it away, waiting for Wang Jian to drive to pick him up. The location of this fishing competition is in Changping District, although the approximate location is clear, but Hong Tao has not been there, and Wang Jian has not been there, so the two decided to set off in advance, so as not to delay the game because the road is unfamiliar.
