What scenarios is the lightweight Sichuan worm hook suitable for
The lightweight Sichuan worm hook, with its design features such as long handle, semi barb, and thin hook, performs outstandingly in scenarios such as streams, deep water, low temperature, and live bait fishing. It is particularly suitable for fine fishing environments that require high sensitivity, strong fishing ability, and stable live bait. The following are specific applicable scenarios and operational points:
1. Stream rapids area: a stable "solution" for live bait
Target fish species: Xige, Makou, Epinephelus, and Junyu (body size 10-500g).
Scene features: Fast flowing water, abundant rocks at the bottom of the water, high fish activity but easy detachment.
Advantages reflected:
Long handle design: The hook handle length is over 12mm, which wraps around 2/3 of the worm body when hanging earthworms and red worms, making it difficult for the bait to fall off in fast currents;
Half barb: The barb length is only 0.8mm, reducing the loss of body fluids from the bait (prolonging the survival time of red worms by 15 minutes), while also reducing the risk of bottoming out;
Narrow angle hook bottom: The hook bottom angle is 60 °, which is 15 ° narrower than ordinary stream hooks, reducing water flow resistance and ensuring stable hook body without deviation.
Operation skills:
Method of baiting: Insert the hook tip into the back of the live insect, retain the tail for 1-2cm peristalsis, and enhance the effect of attracting fish;
Fishing method selection: Adopt the "bottom wiping fishing method", allowing the bait to slowly move against the bottom of the beach, and use the long handle of the Sichuan worm hook to reduce bottom hanging;
Line combination: sub line 0.4-0.6 (length 15-20cm)+main line 0.8-1.0, floating float lead consumption 1.0-1.5g.
Practical data: In the stream of Tonglu, Zhejiang, it was measured that the average weight of individuals caught with Sichuan worm hooks was 15% larger than that of ordinary stream hooks, and the empty rod rate was reduced by 22%.
2. Deepwater Slow Flow Zone: A Lightweight 'Penetrating Expert'
Target fish species: crucian carp, willow root fish, and tilapia (body size 50-300g).
Scene characteristics: Water depth of 2-5 meters, gentle water flow, and light fish mouth.
Advantages reflected:
Ultra lightweight: The weight of the No. 3 Sichuan worm hook is only 0.3g, which is 40% lighter than ordinary stream hooks. The sinking speed of the bait is slowed down by 30%, increasing the time for fish to discover the bait;
Straight hook tip: With a 30% increase in power transmission efficiency and a 0.35mm high carbon steel hook strip, it can instantly penetrate the hard corners of the mouth of small crucian carp;
High sensitivity: The thin hook strip reduces the resistance of fish sucking bait, and anglers can perceive the fish mouth through slight movements of the rod, suitable for light mouthed fish.
Operation skills:
Line combination: sub line 0.4 (length 15cm)+main line 0.8, float leveling water fishing for 2 eyelets;
Fishing method selection: Adopt the "slow sinking fishing method", allowing the bait to slowly sink to the fishing layer, simulating natural falling;
Timing for lifting the rod: If there is a "half eye pause" or a slight continuous nodding of the rod, the rod can be lifted to avoid violent lifting that may cause the hook door to deform.
Practical case: Fishing for willow root fish in the deep water area of Benxi, Liaoning Province, using a Sichuan worm hook combined with a fine tail float, the catch rate is 50% higher than that of commercial bait, and the decoupling rate is controlled within 8%.
3. Winter low-temperature fishing: dynamic amplifier of live bait
Target fish species: crucian carp, carp, and willow root fish (body size 100g-2kg).
Scene characteristics: Water temperature 0-10 ℃, low fish activity, weak opening.
Advantages reflected:
Fine hook strip+long handle: amplifies the weak wriggling signal of live bait, such as the clear transmission of the swing of a single red worm to the rod tip;
Half barbed design: reduces the loss of body fluids from insect bait, maintains its activity, and has a longer lasting effect on attracting fish at low temperatures;
Narrow angle hook bottom: Reduce hook body shaking in still water to avoid startling fish.
Operation skills:
Method of baiting: Insert the hook tip into the head of the red worm, and leave 0.5cm of the tail wriggling;
Fishing method selection: Adopt the "teasing fishing method", gently lift the rod and move the bait 5-10cm up and down to simulate the swimming of live insects;
Line combination: sub line 0.3 (length 10cm)+main line 0.6, float lead consumption 0.8g, adjust the spirit and dull fishing.
Practical data: When using a Sichuan worm hook to catch a single red worm in ice fishing in Heilongjiang, the catch rate is 40% higher than that of commercial bait, and the average weight of the caught individuals is larger.
4. Special scenario: Micro object lure and ice fishing
Micro IoT Asia:
Target fish species: Makou, Baitiao, Xige (size 10-50g).
Advantage: The lightweight design of the Chuanchong hook can be paired with ultra light lure bait (such as 1.5g glitter) to achieve "slow search+precise fish catching".
Operation: Use UL lure rod to collect the line at a constant speed of 0.5 meters per second, and hook the bait close to the water surface to simulate the escape of small fish.
Ice fishing:
Target fish species: crucian carp, carp, and willow root fish.
Advantages: The thin hook strip and long handle design of the Sichuan worm hook are suitable for hanging single red worms or earthworms. Combined with the sensitive rod tip of the ice fishing rod, it can clearly perceive the fish mouth.
Operation: Place the bait vertically in the ice cave, keep it still for 5-10 seconds, then gently lift the rod and repeat 2-3 times to lure fish.
