Soft bait selection and handling techniques for shore road fishing

Soft bait selection and handling techniques for shore roadrunner casting. Recently many of my friends always ask about the fishing techniques and selection of soft lures for roadrunners, most of them probably because of the small impulse brought by the last grouper they caught. There are so many varieties of roadrunners, and I believe that friends choose them according to their fishing environment and personal preferences.

The soft fish-shaped Road Runner can be considered the best choice for shore casting full swimming layer search. I commonly use the soft fish-shaped Road Runner is divided into two kinds.

1) One is commonly known as the package of lead fish.

Because there are many manufacturers, so the quality varies. To avoid suspicion of advertising I will only briefly mention the way to choose, a relatively good swimmer soft fish is actually very easy to pick. First of all, the appearance should be smooth without burrs, the bait body is soft and odorless, followed by the quality of the counterweight and hooks. Although it is said that you get what you pay for, there is no shortage of good value for money varieties. It depends on your luck to find this kind.

2) The other is the lead head hook with a variety of soft tail.

I personally prefer the fish head shape of the lead hook, with a variety of T-shaped soft tail. Weight I usually choose 20 - 40 grams, with 2.1 m M-tone or H-tone Road Runner rod. The wheel 2500 type is fine. Completely according to personal preference. I have a friend who is a huge thing crazy, 2.7 meters of shore casting rod with 5000 spinning wheel. The road with the 50 grams jump, specializing in giant things. Although most of the time is to fight the turtle end, but the occasional fishing giant is also really envious of people. Persistence must be rewarded.

A. Bottom-dwelling fish fishing.

The soft fish-shaped roada has superior anti-hanging, most suitable for use in the reef rocky area and the dike dock wave elimination block area, this fishing ground fish mostly inhabits the rocky crevices. Usually, they hide in the holes and watch the small fish and shrimps passing by, and when they find a tasty one, they rush out and swallow it, and then turn around sharply and rush back to the hole.

Because there is only one back hook, it has good passability underwater. A skillful manipulation of the rod can lead the roadster through the underwater reef gap and search for the target hidden in the underwater obstacle zone, stir up the appetite of the monster underwater with a flirty swim, and you will win if you can tease it to open its huge mouth.

After throwing the road sub slowly tighten the imaginary line, drive the road sub slowly sink, feel the bottom after gently pumped up, and then slowly close the line search, according to the palm of the hand to judge the underwater environment, the search range from near and far, from shallow to deep, the specific approach is difficult to express in words, or slow jump, or fast pump, or pause, or accelerate these are to rely on slow practice, an old master said: each road sub at least three years to play The truth of this can only be slowly understood.

Second, the upper and middle swimming layer fish fishing method

Most of the fish in the middle and upper swimming layer belong to the cluster of feeding, once you meet such a large force will be cool. The number of catches depends on your speed and physical strength. Although the soft fish form is not the best choice for attacking surface fish, it is not much worse. Most of the soft fish-shaped lures are high simulation lures, no matter the color and texture are incomparable, some high-quality lures can be almost realistic, depending on the weather and water color to choose the right color can certainly be rewarding.

Generally when the weather is clear and the water is clear, you can choose the natural color, the closer the color to the local species of baitfish the more ideal. In the morning, evening, morning and evening or cloudy days, it is best to choose a contrasting color, that is, different from the color of the natural fish body. Try to use visual contrast, which is conducive to aggressive fish to find and lock the target.

The technique is generally fan search, try to throw the lua as far as possible, immediately after landing in the water, raise the rod tip to quickly reel in the line, the lua can stick to the surface of the water and hit the splash is perfect. The double stimulation of shape and sound is enough to cause a violent attack. Don't rush to pull the bait out of the water when you receive it near the shore, use the rod tip to drive the lure to swim back and forth a few times, which is also the legendary word 8. Many cunning and greedy guys will follow you to the shore until the moment the lure is about to come out of the water, then open its huge mouth. So try to keep the lua in the water to give it enough time to track and observe its prey.

Most of the methods used to deal with mid-swimming fish are a combination of slow collection and faster pumping, imitating a small fish strolling into the territory of a giant, or stunned, or fleeing, these actions are enough to cause fury. It will certainly be mobbed.

Try to consider the problem from the baitfish's point of view, so that you can integrate it into your rod handling techniques. Through continuous practice to accumulate the appropriate experience. Carefully experience each cast, each fishing line, and eventually will achieve their goals.
