Many anglers tend to focus only on the wind speed, which is the most important factor when looking at the weather forecast. However, more important than wind strength is wind direction. The sea breeze we learned about in school is the wind that blows in coastal areas or areas where large lakes meet. During […]
Nylon or fluorocarbon are the primary materials used for leaders and shock leaders in sea fishing, and it’s no exaggeration to say that anglers generally agree that fluorocarbon is the most suitable. (Coated PE line is sometimes used as a leader, while polyester line is also used.) If you ask anyone with some fishing experience […]

First, the taper (the tapering of one side) of the reel’s spool can be categorized into three types: a square taper, a […]
It is said that the size of the shock leader, which is mainly used in lure fishing, is better to use nylon or carbon line that is 3 to 5 times the size of the synthetic line used. Let’s find out why. Let’s skip the explanation of the PE line and just learn about […]
Among the expressions used by anglers, there is one called feeding time. Its original meaning is the time when babies are fed or animals are fed, but it is also used to refer to the time when fish are actively feeding, that is, the time when they are actively biting. And the time when […]
When night fishing, you may occasionally hear the phrase, “Please turn on the light!” This is something that beginner anglers often do not understand. Many people think, “Some people keep shining a light on the surface of the water, but how much of a hindrance can a lighted headlamp have on fishing?” This time, […]
