Chapter 70 Making Fishing Tackle
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to catch fish, you must prepare your gear well. You can't do that." Li Muyu first chose to teach the improvement of fishing gear. It is not difficult to catch 100 fish in two pieces. It is not difficult to say it is easy to say it is not easy to say it is easy to say it is not easy to make the fishing gear well.
"First of all, the rod is too hard, and you don't want to catch beasts. Do you need such a thick bamboo pole to catch fishing fish? The fishing rod needs toughness to avoid hurting the fish and running the fish."
There is a bamboo forest by the river. Li Muyu has a knife, but it cannot be used. The task requirements cannot be made with any modern tools.
"Get the knife." Li Muyu ordered.
"The knife is on it, Master, can I... send these fish to them first? Everyone is too hungry!" Aaron whispered.
"Go, go and go back quickly." Li Muyu waved.
"Thank you, Master." Ah Long took the fish basket and ran away without a trace.
When I went back, I still had a machete in my hand.
"Cut down this small bamboo branch." Li Muyu pointed to the target.
"Master, this is too small." Aaron felt it was unreliable.
"How big fish do you want to catch?" Li Muyu asked back.
Then Ah Long obediently cut off the bamboo branches and repaired the branches and leaves. His movements were straightforward and quick, and obviously he used a lot of knifes.
The bamboo branches are less than three meters long and are soft, like a noodle rod. If you use them temporarily, you can't find a better one.
"This fishing line is not good! I need a thinner one! There is also a fish hook, I need to rebuild it and find the needle." Li Muyu said.
"My sister-in-law has a silk wedding dress, and I asked her to help remove it!" Aaron gritted his teeth. In order to survive, everything else is no longer important.
Li Muyu is just a silent fishing line. He has many in his bag, including pe lines, nylon lines, various colors, various thicknesses, soft and hard.
He never thought that the fishing line would be removed from his clothes.
But this is a task requirement. You can't help it. Just tear it down. Living is more important than anything else.
While Ah Long went to find needles and fishing lines, Li Muyu went to the river to find some thick and dry reeds, and needed to make a simple reed float.
Aaron returned and had a red silk thread in his hand. It was not solid, but it could be used barely, so it should be fine to catch small fish.
"Get the needle and I'll teach you how to make fish hooks."
This is an iron sewing needle, not a modern steel needle. It has no hardness, but it can be shaped at will.
Li Muyu made one by imitating the shape of the "New Kanto" fish hook. It was a pity that there was no barb, but the rough needle body naturally increased the friction, and once the fish was hooked, it would not easily escape.
"Based on this I made, you can make a few fish hooks for later use."
The task requires students to use fishing gear they make themselves, not just fish hooks, but also floats and even knots of line groups.
Li Muyu can only teach and must be taught.
It is easy for Aaron to learn how to build fish hooks and floats. His skills are not bad, but complex thread joints are a bit difficult for him.
Each of these silk threads is only more than one meter long and needs to be connected. This is not enough to tie two dead knots directly. The leading joint used by Luya can maintain the maximum pulling force of the fishing line.
"The main line should be made of double or even three lines, and the sub line should be made of single or double lines, which must be less than the main line, depending on the actual situation. This effect can protect the main line and avoid greater losses."
This fishing line is too precious. This is a woman's wedding dress. Li Muyu knows that it cannot be wasted. Otherwise, in such a simple situation, there is actually no need to distinguish between the main line and the sub-line. Just one line is enough. This is also called "through line". The force is balanced and the tension is the largest.
There is no eight-character ring, so you can only use a thread knot to replace it directly.
"You can't tie the hook like this, you will definitely not be able to catch big fish."
Aaron directly passed the thread through the needle hole, so there was no tension at all. When he encountered a few pounds of weight, he either broke the thread or the hook.
Since you want to teach, teach Aaron the best. For them, this is not just entertainment, but a survival skill.
It is easy to tie the hook, but it is not difficult to say it is difficult. Some fishermen can learn it by watching some videos on their own computers, while others can't teach it step by step.
Aaron was too eager to achieve success, and broke two threads but failed, so he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"This is a meticulous job, you can't hurry, take it slowly!" Li Muyu frowned.
"I'm sorry, Master, I'm so stupid!" Aaron felt guilty and uneasy.
"Don't talk about these things, learn slowly!" Li Muyu could only soothe his emotions.
It will not be difficult to calm down and study. If you tie it twice, you will become proficient slowly. Practice makes perfect.
"Let's teach you how to find the bottom! I just saw that you were fishing for half a water, but many fish were at the bottom. If you fish like this, you can't eat the fish, so we must know the depth of the water."
There is no lead, so you can only use stones instead. It is not too late to remove the stones after finding the depth.
If conditions do not allow, corresponding adjustments can only be made according to actual conditions.
"I'll teach you how to hang bait."
Aaron was very confused and wanted to shout when he hung up the bait? He wasn't that stupid, right?
"Don't hang the earthworms all over the hook. They need to expose the tip of the hook. At the same time, the earthworms must keep their entire line and maintain their activity. If they can move in the water, the effect of seducing fish will be doubled... Of course, if it is like this big black earthworm, you can pinch two pieces."
"Can you catch fish in this way?" Aaron was confused. The way of hanging bait was beyond his understanding.
"This is how you don't understand the way of fish preying!" Li Muyu was helpless, "Anyway, you can just hang up like this. Don't ask so many reasons. Want to know why you taste it slowly in the future."
Li Muyu did not allow another half an hour to take a biology class, and it has been delayed for more than three hours to make fishing gear.
"Start fishing!" Li Muyu said.
"Oh!" Aaron threw the pole out hard, which was called swinging the big braid!
But because the fish hook has no barbs, even the earthworms flew out with such a force.
"...Shake! Use the help of the pole's waist to throw it out, so you won't let it throw it like this!" Li Muyu had to demonstrate it himself.
It's worrying!
After hanging up the bait again, Aaron finally threw the first shot clumsily.
However, I soon encountered new problems. There were too many small fish and these silk threads were not eaten. The bait was robbed when it was still half water. At this time, the float would not move, and Aaron had no experience to lift the rod in time. The bait was gone before it could reach the end.
Li Muyu wished she could wrap a layer of lead!
But no modern fishing tackle can be used.
"Rise the rod and start over!" Li Muyu reminded.
Fortunately, the ones are hung with earthworms, not commercial baits. The advantage of earthworms is that they have strong hook properties and will not be scattered by fish as soon as they are snatched. The density of fish here is not snatched and the earthworms do not have such great ability to lure fish.
