"These brothers really look alike, aren't they twins?" Hong Tao looked at the ship, he didn't see any professional problems, this ship was larger than Captain Superior's, the rudder was also higher, and there were several metal poles like large antennas sticking out of the stern and hull, I don't know what the road was for.

"I don't know about this, let's go, let's get on the boat." Zhou Xiaoli saw that Yae and the others had already boarded the boat, so she hurriedly followed behind and jumped on the boat.

The younger brother who drove to pick up Hong Tao was not only a driver, but also a porter, Hong Tao was responsible for unloading all their fishing tackle and carrying items by him, you have to help him and you are in a hurry, Hong Tao originally wanted to respect the old and love the young, and help the uncle get a few boxes, but in exchange for the uncle's shouting, which alarmed the people on the boat, Zhou Xiaoli hurriedly ran over and pushed Hong Tao onto the boat.

"Don't pretend to be a good person everywhere, this is his job, it must be done by him, if you go to help, it means that you are dissatisfied with his work, you don't understand this." After listening to Zhou Xiaoli's explanation, Hong Tao also understood why the younger brother was in a hurry just now, it seems that helping the old lady cross the road may not necessarily be praised in the whole world.

After the things were loaded, the boat left the dock, and when the boat began to start, Hong Tao was startled, and quickly ran to the stern to take a look, I dripped! There were two V8s hanging in the stern of the boat, and the sound was unusually muffled, if you count by power, this is equivalent to hanging two off-road vehicles behind the boat.

If you want to say that Captain Ueno is fast, Hong Tao originally believed it, but now he definitely doesn't believe it, because the Maruyama brothers drove faster than Captain Ueno, so that Hong Tao couldn't stand on the deck and watch the scenery, because the wind blew his eyes and couldn't open them, even if he was wearing sunglasses, those splashing waves hit his face or skin and it hurt, for safety, Hong Tao still got into the cabin and began to prepare fishing tackle with Yae and them.

"Can you help me ask what kind of fish can you catch in trolling, and there is only one kind of sailfish, right?" Hong Tao tinkered with his two fishing rods and took this opportunity to learn more about trolling.

"Mr. Yae said that there are mahi mahi (devil's head knife), tuna (tuna, tuna), bonito (cannonball fish), bamboo barracuda, spines (bamboo sluggers), and sometimes sharks." Zhou Xiaoli had a very difficult time translating, because the names of these fish are different in different countries, but fortunately there is a fishing album on the boat, which can be pointed out to Hong Tao according to the photos of the fish in the atlas, or I really don't know how to translate it correctly.

"What are those big poles on the ship for?" Hong Tao had a stomach full of questions, but the language was not clear, so he could only ask them one by one.

"It's for hanging the line, to prevent the lines from getting tangled." Mr. Yae was very patient with Hong Tao's strong desire for knowledge, but Zhou Xiaoli was obviously lazy, Hong Tao obviously saw that Mr. Yae had said a lot of words to her, and he had been comparing for a long time, but she translated this sentence.

But there is no rut, as long as she doesn't admit that no one will take her for nothing, she is the only one here who can speak Japanese and Chinese, and Hong Tao will not dare to offend, lest he will not even give a sentence to translate for a while.

"Then you can help me ask again, what is this thing made of? Why do you want to do this? Hong Tao filtered Zhou Xiaoli's eyes very naturally, and asked with a fake bait that was said to be a swordfish, this fake bait was a foot long, slightly thinner than the wrist, the front was a pointed head, and there were a lot of green nylon silk in the back, just like a wooden cucumber wearing a grass skirt, the most funny thing was that it was painted with fluorescent paint on its head with two big round eyes, which looked very ridiculous.

"It's made of sheep's hoof bones, which mimics the appearance of squid, and it has a great smell that tempts sailfish to chase after it in the sea."

"Then why don't you use live fish to catch them?" Hong Tao's questions were endless, and Zhou Xiaoli stopped glaring at him, her eyes were tired.

Mr. Yae said that sailfish like to chase fish moving at high speed on the surface, sometimes not for food, but for fun, and they naturally like to swim at high speeds. It is also possible to fish with live fish, but live fish are not as obvious as this kind of fake bait, and second, it is easy to attract shark attacks. When the boat starts, the little dolphin will jump on the water because it has two wooden wings, and this fake bait is like chasing a small dolphin in the water, once it is seen by the sailfish, it will chase over and attack the bait. ”

Through Zhou Xiaoli's translation and Mr. Yae's various gestures and gestures, Hong Tao finally understood that this fishing method of trolling with fake bait is completely using the living habits of the sailfish to trick it into taking the bait, to put it bluntly, this kind of sailfish is a child's temper, the reason why it wants to chase and attack the fake bait on the water surface is not really to eat them, compared with its thousand-pound size, these fake bait is like a kitten catching flies and butterflies, it is completely for fun.

In addition, this giant beast of the sea could not bear to swim faster than it on the surface of the sea, and when it found that there was such an incapable creature, it had to catch up and bite it to death, and it regarded this as the most fun game, and as a result, its habit was mastered by humans, and then this game became a game of death for swordfish, but they still played happily.

In addition to asking some knowledge about trolling, Hong Tao also assembled a complete set of trolling tackle by himself with the help of Yae and several other anglers. Speaking of this trolling tackle is really an eye-opener for Hong Tao, he has never seen such a powerful fishing tackle, usually he plays in the reservoir of those casting rods are already very sharp, but compared with these equipment, his things are not even qualified to catch bait fish, just like children's toys.

The trolling rod is very short, and they are all single-jointed, generally made of FRP or carbon material, the tonality is very hard, the tip of the rod has the thickness of a thumb, and it is like holding a cloth handle in the hand, which is very awkward. In addition, the tail of the rod is also very special, there is a metal cross groove, when the fish is on, the angler has to stick this groove in the corresponding position in the belly, into a fulcrum that can move back and forth, so that both hands can carry the rod and reel the line.

In addition to the fishing rod, if you want to troll large fish, you have to have a special trolling reel, and Hong Tao already has it, which was given to him by the president of Kojima just a few days ago. This kind of winder is completely different from the spinning winder we usually use, it is called a drum winder, it is very large, all made of stainless steel, and weighs 7 or 8 pounds.

This reel can be wound into several kilometers of tensile force in tens of kilograms of bus (the fishing line connected to the fishing reel or fishing rod is called the busbar), and has a very strong braking system and gear set, which can withstand a lot of tension and torque.

It's not enough to have a fishing rod, a reel and a busbar, but there is one most important piece of equipment that you can't forget: the hook. The hook of this kind of trolling sailfish is as long as a finger and as wide as an egg, and is made of special steel, which not only has excellent toughness, but also has a strong penetrating tip, because the mouths of these large fish are full of flesh and bones, which requires the hook to pierce not only their flesh, but also their bones.

This kind of fish hook is not directly tied to the busbar, but with a piece of soft steel wire more than 1 meter long tied to the ring on the hook handle, and then with a section of several meters long double-strand nylon wire to connect this steel wire and the busbar, the purpose of this is mainly to use the nylon wire can stretch the characteristics to prevent the bus bar from being broken due to the instantaneous explosive force of the fish when the fish is too large, which is equivalent to the role of a buffer.

Rod, reel, line, hook, this is a complete set of trolling tackle, and after hanging the false bait, you can be ready to troll at any time, but this is not the end, if you want to enter the actual battle, you have to do some other preparations.

First, you have to put on the top of your belly first, which is like a piece of leather panties, tied around your lower abdomen with a belt and crotch strap. But instead of thinking that it helps you protect your crotch, it really has only one function, which is to insert the groove at the bottom of the rod into the metal hole in the middle of the belly when you catch the fish, and jam a metal bar inside, so as to turn the rod into a lever that can only move up and down the front part.
