Chapter 396 - 198: GT in the Sea
Lin Yang greeted the live stream audience and then made a very handsome cast.
With a swoosh, the Wave Crawler lure was thrown out, flying through the air for several seconds before it plopped down in the distance.
He had casting skills, so the details of Lin Yang’s rod movements were almost flawless. By his estimate, he cast at least thirty to forty meters, even with a slight breeze over the sea.
After completing the cast, he patiently began to wind back the reel, the high-end drum reel turning very smoothly without a hint of any grinding sensation.
As the fishing line was reeled in by the line spooler, the Wave Crawler lure on the surface behaved just as he had described earlier, continuously slapping against the water as it pulled back towards the yacht.
The first cast went without any strikes from fish, smoothly reeled back in by Lin Yang.
At this point, Wang Feng, who had been watching from the side, gently patted his shoulder, "Lin Yang, little brother, I think you reeled in a bit too hastily. I’ve heard from many saltwater fishing experts that even when using surface lures like Wave Crawlers, there needs to be a certain swimming posture and rhythm; you can’t just reel it in stiffly without any variation."
Reminded by Wang Feng, Lin Yang quickly realized his mistake. That’s right, when he previously used sinking pencils and Minnow lures, he had incorporated teasing rod tip movements, acceleration, and sudden stops for deceptive actions. It should be the same principle when using surface lures.
Having realized this, he nodded and said to the live stream camera, "Brother Feng just reminded me, we were reeling in the Wave Crawler lure too stiffly, so don’t follow my bad example, everyone. I’ll try a different strategy starting with the next cast."
