Luya novice
"Zigzag Dog" floating pencil
As one of the important members of Luya bait, the pencil should be a kind of bait that everyone is not familiar with. It looks like Mino or smoke bait, and it also has the appearance of a small fish. The biggest difference in appearance is that the pencil has no tongue. Pencils are generally divided into floating pencils and submerged pencils. The floating pencils to be introduced here today belong to the water system, while the submerged pencils are all water layers. The floating pencils also have a more well-known name-"Zigzag Dog". The origin of this name is because it swings left and right when winding up the line, and the Z-shaped route it takes out is also like the word "Zhi" in Chinese, and it is called the dog in English. This kind of action is like a wounded and fleeing small fish, thus attracting the attack of Luya species.

The historical story of "Zigzag Dog"
Zaragassa minnow
dates back to the 192s, and a man named Biggs opened a sporting goods store in Pensaco, a military port in Florida, USA. One of the old guests is Angleo? Capaduca, this man is not only obsessed with fishing, but also makes wooden handicrafts. Later, he made a bait out of wood and used it to feed a lot of fish. Later, Capaduca gave the bait he made to other old fishing friends who often came to Biggs' shop. At that time, the bait had not yet been named. One day, an old customer caught a boss's fish with this bait and came to the store to say
"That Minnow, it do the hoochie coochie, just like the girls? On Zaragoza Street. "
Zaragoza in this sentence is also called Zaragossa, which is a street name with the same name as the Spanish city and a red light district frequented by sailors in the military port." I checked the meaning of "hoochie coochie", which refers to some kind of "unspeakable dance in which women keep twisting their hips" that was popular at the Chicago World Expo in 1893. Anyway, it means that the bait is very attractive. Then everyone should understand the meaning of this sentence. So this bait was called Zaragassa Mino.
The earliest word dog, Heddon Zaragossa, an early version of Zara spook
Zara spook
The following story is known to all fishermen. If a bait is widely praised, it will definitely attract capital intervention. A company called Heddon came here, and it is said that it only cost a little money to start making and selling its own Zaragassa Minol. In the 195s, Zaragassa Mino was made of plastic, and this plastic bait was renamed Zara spook because it was relatively transparent and more like a mysterious ghost in the water. Later, Heddon Company produced a series of Chinese characters, all of which were named after spook.
Heddon is still under the sale of Zara spook
Charlie Campbell
, and this person to be introduced can be said to have made great contributions to Zara spook and surface fishing. Charlie Campbell is from Missouri, USA. He started bass fishing competition in the 196s, participated in 229 Bassmaster competitions, won four yuan armies with water pencils in succession, and was still active in the arena until he was 78 years old. He is a member of the bass fishing hall of fame, which is a very top honor and can be said to be a generation of legends.
Charlie Campbell likes to use Zara spook very much. He once used this bait to catch 12 pounds of bass in Mexico. In May 1974, he won the championship of TableRock Lake with 55.15 pounds of Zara spook. Campbell's magical use of Zara spook was widely reported through this legendary victory. A large number of fishermen and perch fishermen are attracted by Zara spook and surface fishing method, which makes the surface fishing method quickly popular.
application and selection
if Americans originally invented this bait to catch bass or trout, it will be more widely used in our country. For example, the "Zigzag Dog" can be used to fish the crooked mouth, snakehead, snakehead, sea bass, etc. on our side, especially when the fish is active, the effect is better in the window period.
Another very good advantage of this kind of water bait is that it basically won't hang up. With this advantage, you can safely buy some more expensive bait to use, and it will also show better swimming strokes. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't lose it. In case the big fish is taken away by the tangent, in case it is thrown into the tree on the other side, and in case it is fired, it is also possible.
operation method
the operation of the floating pencil is actually not complicated, so here are several operation methods of the zigzag dog
1. The simplest method is to take up the line rhythmically to make the bait walk zigzag, for example, you can see the bait swing left and right on the water after half a turn. If the wheel speed ratio is relatively high, it will be closed in half a turn.
2. Another method is to draw extra thread, that is, the coordination between the left and right hands while drawing and taking up thread needs more practice to cooperate well. The speed of pumping and receiving should not be too fast, but it should be rhythmic.
3. In addition to the above two kinds, you can also use side-pulling, that is, horizontal pulling, pulling a few times to stop, which is also economical. In addition, attention should be paid to the part of the line, not the bait, so the line should not be stretched too straight, and a dotted line should be left properly, so that when the dotted line is pulled, the force will be transmitted to the bait through the line, and the swimming posture will be put up.
