Chapter 7 Improved Fishing Rod This chapter is free
There are many fish in East Lake, which is far different from later generations, where all resources are scarce. [] There is no need to build a nest for fishing, the fish can bite the hook vigorously, which is dazzling.
It’s just that the fishing gear at this time was a little worse. The hook was very rough and easy to break. The fishing line was also very thick, and when the pole was lifted, the sound of catching water was very loud. It was far inferior to the thin line in the previous life.
There is no sound when water enters, water marks when water comes out, and the toughness is not enough.
Therefore, either the hook or the line is often broken, and the fish caught are very few, which is not as good as the enjoyment of fishing in later generations.
When someone breaks the line and the hook, several other old men fishing next to each other will laugh happily and make a few jokes together, which is a bit irritating fun.
It seemed that they came not really to fish, but just to make fun of others at such a time.
Su Sanyou listened to their insinuations and laughed in his heart. The next day, he still sat under the tree by the lake, still quietly watching the old men fishing.
One day, an old man said to him strangely, "This young man comes to watch fishing every day. I guess he prefers this way, but why don't you just catch one?"
"Haha... the one you are using is too simple. I don't have any fishing gear here... so..." Su San really wasn't interested in such a simple fishing gear. It was because the things he used in his previous life were too good. Even in his previous life,
As a child, when I was fishing for fun, the fishing gear in my hand would be ten times better than the ones in front of me.
The one in front of me is indeed a bit miserable to fish... "This is the best fishing tackle we have!" Another old man turned his head angrily and said after hearing Su San's words.
Su San smiled noncommittally. There was no practical significance in arguing with these people... The old man who initially spoke saw Su San's relaxed smile and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Is there really a better fishing tackle?"
Several old men turned to look at him. He came here every day these days. Although he didn't speak much, everyone looked familiar.
"Young master, if you have something good, please don't keep it secretly!"
"Where can there be any good things? I have lived for half my life and my experience is not as good as that of a kid? You ask such a thing."
Su San still had a smile on his face and said softly, "I'll bring my own fishing gear in the next two days. It should be better than yours. At least I can catch a few more fish..."
After saying that, he ignored the chattering discussions of these old men and continued to let them fish until it was getting late, then he slowly went back.
In the early morning of the third day, Su San actually appeared at the lakeside slowly carrying a slender bamboo pole.
"There's no difference. It's just that the bamboo joints are a little longer than our poles. There's nothing else different about it." An old man commented.
Su San didn't say anything. He moved a stone to the lake and chose a good place to sit on the water.
"Give me the box!" Su San smiled and nodded to the old men who had already started fishing, and said softly to Yu'er.
Quickly handing over the box he was carrying, Yu'er looked at Su San curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.
Opening the box, there were many small items coded one by one in the box.
He reached out and took out a bunch of wrapped twine, and tied it slowly to the head of the fishing rod. This twine was the best fishing line that could be found in this dynasty. Fortunately, the Su family was in the cloth business, so there was no shortage of twine.
After careful consideration, the Gastrodia elata line shipped from Tianhu was selected to replace the fishing line. Although it was still not satisfactory, it was still much stronger than the silk and hemp fishing line used by the old men.
Despite this, he was somewhat regretful that he could not make complete improvements on this.
Take a piece of rubber and put it on the fishing line. This rubber is used to fix the float. It is made from the selected animal leg leather rich in glue, which is repeatedly boiled and dried. In this dynasty, no one would have thought
They have this because they never use floats. They only fish by feeling, experience and fishing line.
Then take a float made of porcupine hair and tighten it on the rubber.
The old men didn't know what he was doing, but they just noticed that he lowered his head and worked for a long time. Not only did he not set the hook, but he also tied a black and white sharp thing to the fishing line.
Look, it's a little funny.
The hook is custom-made. I made the hook mold by myself, and asked the blacksmith to continuously forge the pig iron, leaving only the last bit of fine steel, which was poured into the mold and formed in one go. Although the size of the hook cannot be very large.
It is a breakthrough, but the design of the barb has been added, and the toughness has also been improved, which should reduce the chance of hook breakage.
Take out one piece and tie it with the straight hook method. Then take some soft copper and clamp it on the fishing line near the fishhook. This is also a link that Feng Chao people did not think of at all.
Everything was done, but the actual situation was still less than one-tenth of the conditions of later generations. The thing that made him most satisfied with this set of fishing gear was actually the bamboo hand pole.
Don't underestimate this bamboo pole. It is quite difficult to find a bamboo pole with a length of more than three meters, a root diameter of no more than three centimeters, and even and slender bamboo joints.
Such a bamboo rod, coupled with the techniques of later generations to make fishing rods, can certainly create a top-quality hand rod. With such a hand rod, you can pick out a fish weighing two kilograms with just a slight lift.
water surface.
It is really the most enjoyable tool for fishing in the wild.
After testing the water depth and adjusting the height of the float, fishing officially started.
