Chapter 266 - 162: Large Scale Whitefish_4
"Once we activate ’fish-on’ mode, our advantage with the short rod will become apparent, which is speed!"
This was the tactic he had set from the beginning because the three of them were at a disadvantage in overall strength compared to other teams, so if they adopted conventional tactics, they were bound to lose.
They had to follow an unconventional path and use shorter rods.
Lin Yang’s strategy was that as long as the fish were successfully lured, and there were fish in the nest, then the advantage of the short rod would show. At that time, Li Xiaopeng and Yue’er would be able to bring in fish at a faster speed, which could also make up for their lack of technical skill.
Short rods are easier to control, to cast, to retrieve, to play fish, to unhook fish—all these actions can be done much faster. In a competition where speed is king, they can become a huge advantage.
Just as Lin Yang finished speaking, the float suddenly sank, a clear sign of a small fish strike!
"Here it comes."
He gently lifted the rod and an Anti-wave White Fish leapt out of the water.
Lin Yang brought the first Anti-wave White Fish to shore without expression, holding the rod with one hand and grabbing the fish with the other.
With his left hand gripping the hook and the leader, a gentle flick of his wrist, and the fish was deftly removed from the hook, automatically falling into the fish keeper.
After completing these steps, he placed the hook back into the ball of bait and with a light tug with his right hand, the hook was covered by two plump balls of bait.
