Chapter 286 - 167: Off to Sea Fishing_4
Lin Yang didn’t mind; they were just there to buy some accessories and such. For the main sea fishing rods, he directly used the ones from the guidebook.
After entering the store, they found not only sea rods but also lure rods for sale. It did make sense, as fundamentally, lure rods and sea rods are similar in structure, both consisting of a pole with a fishing reel attached.
The only difference is that lure rods can use baitcasting reels, while sea rods are paired with spinning reels. Furthermore, sea rods are thicker and come in more models, as they are designed for different fish.
Lin Yang was not interested in the fishing rods or fishing lines here; he just purchased some lead sinkers and other weight-related items, spending just over a hundred yuan in total.
When they left the fishing gear shop, the owner went from an initial secret delight to cursing under his breath.
After getting their fishing equipment sorted out, Lin Yang and his group made another trip to the seafood market and bought two kilograms of those small Banded Shrimp.
These shrimp are scientifically known as Banded Shrimp, also called Grass Shrimp, Nine-section Shrimp, Flower Shrimp, Ghost Shrimp, and Black Tiger Shrimp...
Indeed, the Black Tiger Shrimp that many Japanese restaurants use to impress customers are actually international Banded Shrimp, which, after a stint abroad, return to sell their changed identity.
However, these shrimp were already being farmed in China in the 1980s, but at that time, people in China preferred White Shrimp, finding it tastier with a thinner shell and tenderer flesh. Consequently, many shrimp farmers who raised this variety gave it up after a few years.
