606: Chapter 593 606: Chapter 593 “So Brother Feng introduces it like this, isn’t it similar to using a Frog lure for snakehead fishing?

But the Frog is a lot smaller.

Isn’t the Wave Crawler Lure a bit too big?

What size of fish are you planning to catch with this thing?”

“Really, it does share some similarities with the Frog!

Is this thing effective?

I hope it’s not just for show and actually impractical.

It feels like many lure designs are made just to look good; their fishing performance isn’t great.

But they come in various colors and gimmicks—it’s quite a variety!”

“+1 to the comment above!”

Yue Feng glanced at the public chat and saw the viewers critiquing the colors of the lures, grinned, and shook his head.

“I see some brothers complaining about the color schemes of the lures, I specifically talked to a professional about this yesterday.

It’s really not as simple as everyone thinks!

Those who have used lures might have noticed that there always seem to be one or two colors that feel especially good to use, sometimes it even feels like no matter how you fish, the lure and you are in perfect harmony!

Aside from psychological effects, this could be related to the colors of the lures.

For example, a red-headed white-bodied Sinking Pencil.

With the same swimming action and the same form, it often catches more fish than other colored lures—this is recognized by many lure anglers!

Speaking of making lures, it might look simple, but from what I understand, there’s quite a bit of skill involved.

The painting, sanding details, coloring, etc., the higher-priced ones differ significantly in craftsmanship from the cheaper ones.

They might look similar, but their performance could be drastically different—a small error could lead to a big problem!”

“After all that’s said, our Wave Crawler is tied up and ready.

Let’s warm up first, roll up our sleeves and have a few casts to get the feel.

Don’t laugh at me, guys, this is my first time using such a big Wave Crawler Lure!”

Yue Feng greeted everyone in the live stream, made a very cool axe-chopping motion with his casting, and with a swish sound, the Wave Crawler Lure was cast out, flying through the air for several seconds before landing in the water with a plunk.

With basic sea-casting skills as a foundation, Yue Feng’s casting details were nearly flawless, and judging by eye, he had cast it at least forty or fifty meters away, even with a slight wind over the sea.

After the cast, Yue Feng patiently began reeling in, the high-end reel moving very smoothly, with no trace of a rough feeling.

As the fishing line was reeled back in, the Wave Crawler on the water’s surface came towards the boat, slapping the water just as Yue Feng had described.

The first cast came back in without any strikes from fish, retrieved smoothly by Yue Feng.

Just then, Brother Gu, who had been watching from the side, gently patted Yue Feng on the shoulder.

Yue Feng turned his head slightly, and the other man whispered close to Yue Feng’s ear, “You reeled in too quickly just now.

Even the Wave Crawler on the surface needs a certain swim posture and rhythm, don’t reel in too stiffly and without variation!

Do you understand?”

Reminded by Brother Gu, Yue Feng quickly realized.

Right, when he had used lures like the Sinking Pencil before, Yue Feng added teasing rod tips, causing the lures to exhibit confusing actions like speeding up and abrupt stops in the water.

Surface lures worked on the same principle!

Yue Feng nodded and told the camera, “Brother Gu just reminded me that I was reeling in the Wave Crawler Bait too rigidly.

Don’t follow my bad example, guys.

I’ll try to change my strategy with the next cast and see if I can make a catch!”

The next second, Yue Feng repeated his classic casting move, but this time he was much smarter, making a very obvious adjustment to the lure’s movements after tightening the line.

Unlike the first cast, where the Wave Crawler Lure was forcefully pulled in like a trail of sparks and lightning, this second cast had a noticeable change in rhythm and water posture.

The wave crawler bait moved across the water’s surface like a small animal, darting forward in bursts.

After a few accelerations, it briefly decelerated, and then repeated the previous actions.

With such an adjustment, even a layman could clearly see the difference.

About thirty meters from the boat, the wave crawler lure performed a simple slowing and pausing action, when suddenly a large mouth leapt out of the water and engulfed the lure with a splash.

The drone’s camera was closely following the lure swimming in the water.

The action of the bite was very clear and exceptionally beautiful, captured perfectly by the lens.

Seeing this, Yue Feng sharply lifted the rod to hook the fish, and there was a whooshing sound as the ultra-hard rod rapidly tensed and bent.

A force much greater than Yue Feng had anticipated was transmitted through the line and rod into his hands.

All he could hear was the reel clicking frantically as it spun out line, the power nearly flattening the tip of the rod due to its unexpected intensity.

“Fish on!” Yue Feng shouted, his hands quickly working to regain control of the situation.

“Lucky you, it’s an Amazonian Lookdown!” Gu Qingtian instantly made the call.

Although the rod was raised, the force pulling out the line was still very strong.

In just three seconds, dozens of meters of fishing line had been pulled out from the reel, and it was still crazily extending.

“This power is terrifying, Gu Qingtian, what should I do now?” Yue Feng, afraid of losing his first catch, hurriedly sought advice.

Gu Qingtian answered, “Keep increasing the drag, but don’t lock it.

Hold the rod steady with both hands!

The reel’s drag capacity is sufficient, don’t worry!”

Following Gu Qingtian’s advice, Yue Feng adjusted and increased the drag again.

Indeed, after the adjustment, the speed of the line being taken underwater slightly decreased.

This slight reduction was relative.

To describe it, he had never encountered a fish that fought and swam as vigorously as the one on his line now, not even the record-breaking big catch in the Amazon could compare to the strength and speed at which this line was being pulled.

In just over ten seconds, Yue Feng glanced at the spool to see that less than half of his line remained.

At the same time, Gu Qingtian’s reminder came through.

“Try retrieving the line, we can’t let it keep running, or soon it’ll be spooling out!” he commanded.

Yue Feng nodded, slightly lifted the rod, then naturally pressed down while his right hand helped in harmony, winding the reel handle.

The first loop of line was retrieved.

Thankfully, he could at least still pull the line!

From that point, Yue Feng repeated the actions non-stop: lifting the rod, pressing down, retrieving line, in an endless cycle.

During the retrieval, the fish underwater went through at least dozens of wild escape attempts and clashes.

That fellow was too aggressive; Yue Feng had never seen such fast and resilient fish!

After a full fifteen minutes, Yue Feng finally exhausted the fish and successfully pulled it up.

The next second, when the fish surfaced, Yue Feng was dumbfounded!
