This knot is the weakest link in the main line. If the main line is slightly cut at the pole, most of it is cut at this junction. The reason is that this knot is a pure fishline knot. When it is subjected to strong pulling force, the fishing line will be elongated and thinned, and the shape of the knot will be smaller. When the tension disappears, it is difficult for the knot to recover its original size, that is, it is always in the state of maximum tension. Where the fishing line is knotted is equivalent to being strangled. The main line that is not at the intersection will slowly restore the memory function. Of course, how much can be recovered depends on the quality or characteristics of the line. The next time you encounter a strong pulling force, it will undoubtedly be "worse" for this knot. On the basis of tightening after the last force, the degree will increase again, and because the knot cannot be loosened by itself, this situation will only become more and more serious and irreversible. Without strong pulling again, it will maintain that state at most, but the strength of nodules has been significantly reduced.
Solution in the process of knotting, tie a knot side by side with a cotton thread and the main line folded in half. After the knot is successfully knotted, the cotton thread passes through and bypasses the knot (usually a splayed knot). The advantage of this is that the knot will not be too small after being subjected to strong tension, because the cotton thread is equivalent to a cushion. Moreover, even if the cotton thread is tightened and thinned, when the fishing rod is slightly pressed into the water (as is the case in most Taiwan Province fishing methods), the cotton thread will expand when it meets the water, and the tightened knot will be loosened to some extent. I have told many people about this method, and many people gave very good feedback, saying that since then, this knot has never been broken.
The space bean at the micro pole does not need to be too tight, as long as it can play a slightly locking role. If it is too tight, it is very laborious to get online and offline every time.
4 space beans on both sides of the floating seat.
Space beans move on the main line, which is abrasive to the main line, especially dry strokes. As long as fishing and drifting are necessary, the four big space beans can't be avoided. Of the four space beans here, the middle two are used as floating seats, which need to be compact, while the outer two are just for the convenience of floating and marking. Therefore, it is suggested that the two outer silly boy main lines should be one size larger, so as to minimize the wear and tear of space beans on the main lines.
Another detail is that the space beans on both sides of the floating seat play a role in blocking the floating seat. Do you want to lock it? Of course not. After locking, the floating seat and the main line must be vertical. Imagine that the floating seat is vertical in the water, and the main line will be vertical because the space beans are close. Then the main line must be horizontal. Can the main line be done in the water? Can't do it, because the main line on the edge of the lead pendant must be vertical downward. What is the final state? It depends on the weight of the lead pendant, the hardness of the main line and the hardness of the drift seat. It is very likely that the main line is curved away from the drift seat, and the drift seat is also curved, and even the drift will be inclined, which may have little effect on catching raw oral fish. For bare-billed fish, this may lead to the loss of sensitivity, thus affecting the fishing effect. Therefore, it is suggested to leave a gap of 2 mm for the space beans on both sides of the drift seat. Only in this way can the drift be vertical and the waterline be vertical.
