Chapter 90 - 090: Red Worm Fishing Method
Lin Yang set his phone aside temporarily and adjusted the float, using the same nine-meter monster rod that caught the Carp King last time, with a number four main line, a number three leader line, and a number ten Ishiyane hook. He used a float weighing over three grams, set it for even water, and aimed for a depth of three markers.
After finding the right depth, he baited the hook with packaged corn and hung a Losing Hand Rope on the rod handle, so there was no need to tend to it once it was positioned.
Lin Yang, "I’ve heard from friends that the Crucian Carps here are exceptionally big. Today we’re going to test and see if that’s true. I’m using two rods at the same time, the long rod at nine meters with corn as bait for big catches."
"The short rod is three meters and six, with a 1.0 main line, 0.6 leader line, and a number five Ishiyane hook, targeting Big Plate Crucian Carp."
As he spoke, Lin Yang cut off a little lead foil. After casting the short rod again, he reached the desired three markers, so he pushed the float up to three and a half markers. Casually, he baited the hook with a few red worms and cast the first rod.
"Is the host using red worms for bait today? Aren’t you using commercial bait?"
"Indeed, it’s red worms, and they seem quite active. These things are really expensive here, five bucks can only buy a tiny bit."
Lin Yang had bought the red worms just last night, and today he planned to talk to everyone about some aspects of preparing red worm bait, so he intentionally didn’t prepare the bait in advance.
The float on the short rod flipped over into position. After watching for a few seconds with no action, Lin Yang casually placed the rod on the rod holder, and, for good measure, also attached a Losing Hand Rope.
Lin Yang, "The attentive viewers might have noticed that I haven’t prepared any commercial bait. Today, I’ll prepare bait live and chat with you about methods to prepare bait with red worms, as well as some related details."
"Prepare red worms? Aren’t those just for hanging on the hook?"
