The eight-character ring is a small accessory in Taiwan Province fishing line group. The eight-character ring has two functions, the main function is to connect the main line and the auxiliary line, and the second is to release the rotating force of the fish on the line. Generally, some fish turn badly after being hooked, and the eight-character ring can release the turning force of the fish to the line.
The main fishing line is also called big line, bus line and road system, which plays the role of connecting fishing rod and splayed ring in online configuration.
The main line is usually colored, mainly to increase the proportion of the main line to achieve better water cutting effect. Water cutting means that after the main line is thrown into the water, it can be stretched straight and cut into the water quickly. In general, competitive fishing in Taiwan Province requires high water cut-off for the main line, and several standards such as water cut-off, tension and memory are used to measure the quality of the main line.
The eight-character ring consists of two small eight-character rings and a metal shell. The metal shell is sleeved on two small rings, and then the two ends can rotate separately. There are also many kinds of eight-character rings, such as denominator-to-ring, Japanese-style ring-to-ring, quick-split eight-character ring and so on.
The parent-child ring is an American eight-character ring, which consists of a big ring and a small ring. The primary ring and the secondary ring connect the small ring with the main line, which can reduce the probability of the secondary line winding after the hook and bait enter the water.
