Why do I always get hooked when fishing for tilapia? What is the best way to hold the rod when fishing for tilapia?

It is very common to miss the target when fishing for tilapia, or for the fish to get off the hook and escape. Even experts in fishing for tilapia cannot hit the target with every cast. There will always be some cases of the fish getting anchored or the fish getting off the hook. However, experts can minimize the occurrence of such abnormal phenomena.

Why do I always get caught when fishing for tilapia?

1. The nest you made attracts a lot of fish, causing the fish to scramble for food.

2. It may be due to the weather and low air pressure, which makes the water stuffy and the fish feel suffocated underwater, so they float up!

For the first situation, there are many fish in the nest, and if you lift the rod and anchor to catch fish, it is easy to cause the nest to explode. Facing this situation, we can choose to let go of some false bites and focus on real bites. Some quick pauses or sudden tops of the float, which return to their original position immediately after being topped up, are usually small fish in the nest that are biting the hook. We should not be in a hurry to lift the rod and fish. Wait until the float sinks steadily, or lift the rod when it rises at a uniform speed to increase the fish catching rate of each rod. This way, we can effectively avoid the situation of anchoring fish and exploding the nest!

In the second case, the fish floats up, causing us to anchor the fish in the middle of the rod. In this case, I usually choose to gradually pull down the float to find the water layer where the fish is and fish accurately! Sometimes I will choose to make the bait sticky to reduce the atomization of the bait in the middle layer, so that the bait will atomize after falling to the bottom, slowly press the fish down, and control the fish's floating! If it is due to the weather, then choose to fish in the float or half water!

In short, whether in a pond or a reservoir, we must try our best to avoid anchoring fish. After all, it is not easy to make a nest. If one or two fish are anchored and the nest is exploded, the gain will outweigh the loss!

How to hold the rod best when fishing for tilapia

The most taboo thing when fishing for Tilapia is being too sensitive or too dull. If you use the method of adjusting the water level, it is very likely that the float signal will not come out. If you use the method of adjusting the fishing line to a very high level and fishing with a low level, such as adjusting the fishing line to 8 and fishing with 2, or adjusting the fishing line to 7 and fishing with 2, it is very easy to cause frequent anchoring of fish. Therefore, the most commonly used method of adjusting the fishing line for fishing Tilapia is to adjust the fishing line from 2 to 6, and fish from 2 to 5.

When the fish bite is good and the bite is heavy, you can use the dull fishing methods such as adjusting 2 to fish 3, adjusting 2 to fish 4. When the fish bite is light, you need to use the sensitive fishing methods such as adjusting 5 to fish 3, adjusting 4 to fish 2.

What bait to use for fishing tilapia

1. There are basically no miscellaneous fish and no small tilapia (referring to the tilapia produced by tilapia) in the black pit, so the preferred bait is of course frozen bait.

2. It is not recommended to use frozen bait in black pits with many small tilapia. Instead, using bait with a high specific gravity will yield a good harvest! When the anglers next to us used frozen bait to catch small tilapia, we used Super Lure and added some grass carp bait to catch a 68-pound large tilapia in 4 hours. In fact, tilapia is an omnivorous fish, so don't worry too much about the bait.
