How do you time your strike based on float signals when fishing with a "tune five, fish three" setup?
Anyone who has fished knows that whether fishing a commercial pond or wild fishing, you must tune your float properly, because that is the only way to improve the odds of a fish taking the hook. So how do you read the float and strike with a tune five, fish three setup?
1. How do you read the float and strike with a tune five, fish three setup?
Prepare the main line, leader line and lead strip, then attach heavy lead to the line to find the bottom, then pull the float down, roughly to about 5cm above the lower hook leader line. Then trim the lead until the float tip emerges from the water, bait the hook to find the bottom, and increase the odds of a fish taking the hook. Finally, push the float up, attach the bait and cast it into the water.
2. How do you tune a tune five, fish three setup?
1. Trembling float: the float rises a little and drops a little on the water surface.
2. The float tip slowly lifts, rising only half a segment, or at most one segment, then the float stops moving.
3. After the float twitches, it then slowly lifts. The bigger the movement, the bigger the fish.
4. After the star float trembles slightly, it sinks half a segment to one segment, and the float movement stops immediately.
5. When the float occasionally sinks slowly, and occasionally gives a strong sharp dip, the bait has already reached the fish's mouth.
6. When the float twitches slightly and continuously on the water surface, lifting gently and dipping slightly, a fish has taken the hook, and you should strike in time.
Overall, tune five, fish three is just major tuning, rough tuning and fine tuning; the goal is to find the bottom properly, attach the bait well and lure the fish to take the hook. As long as you tune it to the best position on the water surface, that is enough.
