Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 74 First Encounter with Lure Fishing

"Brother Xiao, your luck is truly enviable! Perhaps you were born for this!"

After a long silence, Liu Bo let out a sigh.

"Oh, who can predict luck? I still have a lot to learn!"

After hearing Liu Bo's words, even Xiao Kai, who considered himself to have a thick skin, couldn't help but feel a little hot-blooded, since only he knew his own situation.

Without an aperture, how could he possibly achieve this level of skill?

However, on the other hand, without the aperture, he wouldn't have been able to recognize these people, and naturally, he wouldn't have been able to discuss these matters.

...

With the end of this explosive series, it was already noon.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bo immediately called someone to deliver food.

After lunch, they returned to the fishing platform to fish again.

Perhaps because Xiao Kai's explosive performance in the morning had dampened Liu Bo and the others' spirits, they were less talkative and seemed less interested when fishing in the afternoon.

Xiao Kai, too, lost much of his interest.

He prefers wild fishing environments to paid reservoirs.

Not only is it quiet, but there are also fewer worries, making it more comfortable to earn money.

He simply stopped using the aperture cheat and continued fishing until 3 p.m.

During this time, Xiao Kai did not experience any more consecutive wins, which made Liu Bo and the others, who were still feeling uneasy, feel much more at ease. As a result, their fish-catching efficiency also increased significantly, and they caught several mandarin fish in a row.

Just as Xiao Kai was idly sitting on the fishing platform scrolling through his phone to kill time, a strange sound suddenly came from not far away.

Sizzle~~~

The sound was very smooth, and although it was somewhat harsh, it was surprisingly pleasant to listen to, bringing an irresistible sense of joy.

"This is?"

Xiao Kai couldn't help but look over.

Only then did he notice a figure appear on the shore not far to his right at some point.

The person was wearing a vest with the reservoir's logo, just like them. He was holding a short fishing rod with a reel, and a small bag with various incomprehensible accessories hanging from his waist, which he kept swinging back and forth.

With each swing of his wrist, that sound would emanate from his position.

The sound was persistent, seemingly related to the time it took for the fishing line he cast to fall into the water.

Xiao Kai asked Liu Bo curiously, "Brother Bo, was that guy lure fishing? Why does he make such a nice sound?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bo smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's lure fishing. Lure fishing works like that; when you cast it out, the reel spins at high speed and makes a sound. Judging from the sound, it should be a baitcasting reel!"

"A water jet wheel?"

Xiao Kai was puzzled.

He knew only a limited amount about lure fishing. He knew that lures seemed to use metal or plastic pieces to catch fish, but he really didn't know or understand how they worked or why those plastic and metal pieces could catch fish.

Not to mention the types of lure rods and fishing reels, he knew nothing about those.

He wasn't interested in this kind of fishing method, which sounded unrealistic to him.

But after hearing this voice, he suddenly became interested for some reason and immediately asked Liu Bo for details.

"Hey Bo, tell me, what's this water droplet wheel?"

"Alright!"

Seeing that Xiao Kai seemed very interested, Liu Bo put down his fishing rod and began to explain to him.

As Liu Bo explained, Xiao Kai's understanding of lure fishing suddenly became much clearer.

It turns out that you really can catch fish using plastic and iron sheets.

......

Lure fishing, in general, is a fishing method that mimics the actions of smaller creatures to provoke larger fish to attack.

During fishing, anglers will move around a bit while casting and reeling in the line to search for fish over a wide area, which is a full-body workout.

Compared to platform fishing, lure fishing requires simpler and cleaner equipment, but it has stricter requirements for resources because the target fish are generally predatory, making it difficult to find suitable fishing spots in urban areas.

Both have their advantages, and both are popular with the public.

The clinker and metal sheet that Xiao Kai mentioned are artificial lures used to simulate small creatures.

As for the baitcasting reel mentioned earlier, it is one of the fishing reels needed for lure fishing rods. There is also a spinning reel.

Compared to baitcasting reels, spinning reels are more suitable for beginners, with the advantages of being less prone to line breakage and easier to cast.

Bait baitcasting reels are more suitable for experienced anglers, as their main advantage is high casting accuracy.

Of course, the voice is also very pleasant to hear.

.....

After listening to Liu Bo's explanation, Xiao Kai became even more curious about lure fishing.

He immediately asked, "Brother Bo, do you have any lure rods?"

"What, you want to give it a try?" Liu Bo laughed upon hearing Xiao Kai's words.

"right!"

Xiao Kai nodded.

That's just how he is; he says what he likes without beating around the bush.

"Okay, I happen to have two fishing rods in my car, one a spinning reel and the other a baitcasting reel. Which one would you like to use?" Liu Bo said.

"Can I try both?"

"Haha, of course!"

As he spoke, Liu Bo turned to his apprentice Chen Chi and instructed him, "Chi, quickly go to my car and get those two lure rods!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Thanks, bro!"

Soon, Chen Chi retrieved the two fishing rods.

Meanwhile, the lure angler who had been standing not far from Xiao Kai earlier had disappeared.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai, who had originally intended to ask for advice, had no choice but to turn his attention to Liu Bo.

"Brother Bo, do you know how to lure fish?"

Xiao Kai regretted it as soon as he said it.

Isn't that obvious? If they didn't know how, how would they have a fishing rod?

Liu Bo didn't seem to mind, and generously said, "No problem. Although I can't compare to those veteran anglers who frequently do lure fishing, teaching a beginner like you is no problem!"

"Thanks, Brother Bo!"

Upon hearing Liu Bo's words, Xiao Kai was overjoyed.

Soon, under Liu Bo's guidance, Xiao Kai began learning lure fishing.

Because the reservoir owner and Liu Bo were very familiar with each other, even though they didn't pay a separate fee for lure fishing, it wasn't a problem to use it for learning. However, if they caught a fish, they just had to release it back.

Under Liu Bo's guidance, Xiao Kai did not immediately use the baitcasting reel that he liked at first sight, but instead used the slightly shorter spinning reel.

According to Liu Bo, this fishing rod is a micro-fish rod, mainly targeting stream fish or small predatory fish, such as whitebait and chub.

Xiao Kai didn't care too much about this. He mainly wanted to give it a try. If he wanted to use lure fishing to catch big fish, he could always buy a larger lure in the future.

Soon, under Liu Bo's guidance, Xiao Kai began his lure fishing career with his first rod.

To save time, Liu Bo did all the tying of the line and changing of the bait for him.

Since their target was whitebait, they chose sunflower seed-shaped sequins as their lure this time.

With a whoosh, Xiao Kai cast his lure rod outwards.

The next second, unsurprisingly... the wires exploded.
