What Kind Of Line Combination Is Suitable For Ice Fishing?

As the name suggests, ice fishing refers to fishing on the ice surface. This kind of fishing method has very strict environmental requirements. Only northern regions can see or implement ice fishing. Ice fishing is almost impossible in southern regions where winter is relatively warm. The target fish mainly include crucian carp, carp, rainbow trout, willow root fish, pike, etc. Let’s take a look at how large lines are used for ice fishing!

1. Fishing rod

1. Ice fishing rod: The most commonly used fishing rod for ice fishing is the ice fishing rod. In fact, ice fishing rod is also specially designed for ice fishing. There are two types of rods that are slightly hard and soft. Among them, the hard rods should be used to indicate the fish information with a float, while the soft rods should be judged mainly by observing the movement of the rod.

2. Raft fishing rod: You can use a raft fishing rod for ice fishing. The length of the raft fishing rod is generally 0.7 to 2.4 meters. The guide ring is small and dense. The rod is slightly soft and elastic. The front rod has a slightly bright color to facilitate observation of fishing news. A little external force can be clearly reflected on the rod.

2. Fishing line

1. Material: Nylon line can be used as the main line for ice fishing. In fact, nylon line is the most widely used fishing line. The advantages are strong tensile force, good toughness, non-absorbing, stable performance, and light weight. The disadvantages are that the strength decreases significantly after knotting, poor wear resistance, and easy to age.

2. Line number: When fishing for ice, you should choose the line number according to the actual fishing situation. For example, when fishing for crucian carp, you can use nylon lines 0.8 to 1.0 and sub-lines, and when fishing for carp, you can use nylon lines 1.5 or above, and sub-lines, you can use nylon lines 1.0 or above.

3. Floating

1. Bloating species: It is best to use a standing float for ice fishing. It is not recommended to use a seven-star float because the seven-star float is easily frozen. In mild cases, it affects the sensitivity of the line group and may completely lose its effect in severe cases.

2. Bloating type: It is best to use a long-body thin tail float when fishing. It is not recommended to use a short-body thick tail float. A long body is to ensure that the float has better stability, and a thin tail is to more accurately interpret the float.

3. Float number: It is best to use a small float when fishing in ice, and the amount of lead is controlled within 1 to 2 grams. The reason is that the fish have low appetite in low temperature environments, and excessive lead consumption of floats is not conducive to observing the float.

4. Line group

1. Table fishing line group: You can use a table fishing line group for ice fishing. From top to bottom, there are float seats, lead seats, eight-character rings, and double-hook lines. The float seats should be adjusted to movable float seats. The main line can be nylon lines above 0.8, and the sub-line can be nylon lines above 0.4, and the fish hooks can be sleeve hooks, Akita fox hooks, stream rods, Izu hooks, sea-sun hooks, etc.

2. Traditional fishing line group: You can use traditional fishing line group for ice fishing, from top to bottom, are float seats, lead seats, eight-character rings, and single hook lines. The float seats should also be adjusted into movable float seats. The main line can be nylon lines, and the sub-line can be nylon lines or small-volt pe lines. The fish hooks can be sleeve hooks, Akita fox hooks, stream rods, Izu hooks, sea-sun hooks, etc.

3. Raft fishing line group: You can use a raft fishing line group for ice fishing, among which the fishing rod should use a raft fishing rod. The line group can be used for table fishing line group, bottom lead line group, Tongxin lead line group, biting lead line group, etc. The fish hook can be used for sleeve hooks, Akita fox hook, stream rod, Izu hook, sea hoop, etc., without floating floats. When fishing, you can rely entirely on observing the rod's movement to judge the fishing news.
