How to tie the fishing line more firmly? How should a novice choose the fishing line?

I have been tying my own hooks for many years, which makes me feel more assured because my hooks have never slipped. Of course, there are also many novice fishermen who buy hooks that have been tied or ask the owner of a fishing tackle shop to tie them for them. In fact, tying hooks is not a difficult task. You will learn it as long as you tie them a few times.

How to tie the fishing line more firmly

The following methods of tying hooks feel quite good in actual use and make it easy to see clearly. I found the corresponding illustrations on the Internet and attached them.

Please pay attention to the direction. When tying, wrap it eight or nine times from the hook handle to the hook bottom, and then tighten the two ends. After tying, there is no outer cross line, and no folding point, so the tied hook is not easy to cut the line when stressed, and it is also very strong. Be sure to pay attention to the direction and don't make a mistake. The following picture shows the wrong way to tie.

After the hook is tied as shown in the picture, there will be an outer span line and a fold point, so it is easy to cut the line or slip when subjected to force.

In addition, the popular rolling finger tying method is also good. You can watch the video on the Internet because it is clearer. I will not go into details here. It is also quite convenient to tie the hook with a hook tie. If you can't tie it well by hand, you can also use a hook tie to tie the hook, and the effect is also good.
In short, no matter what method you use to tie the hook, as long as there is a fold point, it will definitely be easier to cut the line or the hook will slip when you catch a big fish, so you must pay attention when tying the hook.

How should a novice choose fishing line?

First, you can choose branded products at a price that suits your price range. Branded fishing lines will be more expensive, but the quality and flexibility are better, and the line diameter is more standardized. Some manufacturers do not mark the line number as 1.0, but the actual line number is 1.5, which is seriously exceeded.

Second, find a piece of line diameter you need to buy from a fishing friend, and then compare it before buying to see if the line diameter exceeds the standard and if the line diameter is smooth and even. Hold the coil in one hand and gently pinch the line diameter with the other hand and slide it forward to see if there are any bumps on the line, whether there are any raised spots, and whether the smoothness is consistent.

Third, test the extensibility of the line diameter. Generally, the line diameter has extensibility. Pull the line diameter to see if it can return to its original position in time. If it cannot return to its original position in time, it is not ideal. Will it work if the fishing line is pulled longer and thinner?

The fourth is on-site testing. Tie a hook. If a standard 1.0 line diameter can catch a two-kilogram line, it is very good and the price is also ideal. I used to buy lines by finding a standard line diameter and then comparing it. I tied the hook myself to test the tension. Some said how good it was, but it basically didn't work when I tested it. It is best to negotiate the price first and then test it, otherwise they will raise the price for you.

The fifth is to buy reasonably, the fishing line of the Dao system or the sub-system,

The Tao line also needs to see if it can cut through water well. Cut a section of Tao line, throw it into mineral water, shake it to see if it floats, whether it is in the middle layer, or the middle and lower layer of the water. If it floats, it will not cut through water well.

The sixth is other types of lines.

Braided wire or Dyneema or PE wire.

Check the wire diameter to see if there is any exposed yarn, whether the weaving is tight and solid, how many strands are there, and whether there is uneven thickness in the overall weaving of the wire diameter.

Overall, the fifth type of line is suitable for fishing big fish. When you buy it, you must make sure you choose a fishing line that suits you.

What happens if you don't lift the rod for a long time after the fish bites the hook?

This depends on whether it is a saltwater fish (sea fish) or a freshwater fish.

1. Saltwater fish eat bait ferociously. They open their mouths, grab the bait, swallow it and swim away, so they are easily hooked. If you don't lift the rod for a long time, some fish will be hooked and cannot be unhooked.

2. As for freshwater fish, except for the pond mullet which will swallow the bait directly and be hooked, most other freshwater fish will carefully test the bait. If you don't pull it, you really can't hook it, and it will eat up all your bait. I have never found a freshwater fish being hooked naturally without lifting the rod.
