Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 404: Sea Rod Matching

After going out, this time he took Liu's Duke King car. He didn't know the roads in Shanghai yet.

Then we went straight to North Bund, where there is a professional sea fishing equipment store, and the goods for Da Liu’s store are also purchased here.

We flew through the bustling city center and soon arrived at our destination.

"Ce, did we come to the right place?" Qin Dahe was a little confused.

The storefront is indeed a fishing tackle shop, but it is filled with all kinds of seafood, including swimming crabs, prawns, squids and other living things.

"You're right. These are all baits for sea fishing." Da Liu said with a smile.

Commercial baits are useless for sea fishing, live bait is the best.

After the two of them walked in, a middle-aged man with a big belly soon came out.

"Boss Wang, bring your friends here to buy equipment." He turned around and introduced Qin Dahe.

"Come in and sit down first." The boss invited them in with a smile.

Once inside, the space is quite large, with the most common items being fishing rods, reels, rolls of braided line, and various hooks.

There were customers buying things, but an old man was already serving them.

"Mr. Qin, have some tea first."

"Thank you." Qin Dahe nodded. Although the boss looked a bit greasy, there was a hint of scholarly air in his words and actions. If you ignored his appearance, he was quite elegant.

"Boss Wang, Da Liu said you are reliable, so I won't waste any more time." Putting down the teacup, he stated his needs.

High-strength rods, sea fishing spinning reels, and fishing lines are suitable for fishing big fish.

The rest of the things can be prepared when you go to Shenzhen for sea fishing. Now we are going to catch giant grass carp. No matter whether we can meet one or not, we assume that it will take the bait, so we need to prepare the fishing rod and reel in advance.

As for using a table fishing rod or a raw bamboo rod to catch a 200-pound giant, he didn't even consider it.

When you are fishing for a black carp weighing more than 80 kilograms, you can already feel a slight noise coming from the bamboo pole, and it will definitely explode if you catch a 200-kilogram one.

"Can you tell me about your fishing environment? What's your budget?"

"Fishing for giant herring is freshwater fishing," Qin Dahe said with a smile. "I might go sea fishing in Shenzhen in the second half of the year. I can get the rest of the equipment there, which will cost around 10,000 yuan."

It won’t be too late to change to a better one after I make money from bait this year.

Boss Wang nodded. "The fishing environments in the South China Sea and the East China Sea are different, so the equipment is indeed a little different."

"So, you're going to use the fishing rod you bought now to catch herring first, and then take it south to use?"

"Indeed."

"So when you went south, did you mainly go rock fishing or fishing on the rafts, or did you go out to sea on a boat?"

"Everyone must go and have some fun." How can you go to Shenzhen and not have some fun fishing?

Faced with the boss's detailed questions, Qin Dahe patiently explained his situation, including the fact that he had never been to the sea.

It is obvious that people are considering his future fishing environment and recommending equipment to him.

"There are many large yellowfin tuna in the South China Sea. If you go out to sea, I'll get you a durable fishing rod." As he said this, he took down a Taiwanese brand fishing rod.

"This rod is 1200. Even if you catch a bluefin tuna weighing or kilograms, it won't break. It's just heavy and feels bad. The main body is made of fiberglass."

Qin Dahe took it and felt a sinking feeling in his hand. It was so damn heavy, even heavier than a 7.2-meter fiberglass fishing rod.

"So cheap?" he asked curiously. It didn't matter if it was so cheap to catch big fish.

"Haha, the heavy fishing rods aren't worth much," Boss Wang said with a smile. "It's the wheels that cost money."

He immediately slapped his head and forgot about it. This is also the cool way to play lure fishing. The fishing rod only costs a few dollars.

"If you're rock fishing, you can actually use a table rod, but you won't be able to fish in complex terrain, so you still need a reel."

The rock fishing rod was much more normal, similar to the Shimano one he had at home, just a little heavier.

"I also have a Shimano lure set. Can I use it for sea fishing?" I have a simple set at home that I bought for a few hundred dollars.

"Lure fishing reels can also be used for offshore fishing, which is quite convenient," the boss said with a smile. "But the bending and tensile strength are a bit poor, and the amount of line stored in the reel is too small."

"I've also gone fishing along the southern coast. There are big fish when you fish on the rocks near the coast. If you go to the south and fish for stone croaker every day, that would be enough." "Haha, that definitely won't work. Give me a rock fishing rod that can catch big black carp." He knew that stone croaker was the whitebait in the sea.

"Okay." The boss nodded and took out a rock fishing rod.

"Glorious?"

"Yeah, actually Guangwei's sea rod is pretty good too, it can easily catch big fish. But since your budget is around 10,000, I wouldn't recommend it."

Although Guangwei is cheap, it is well-known in the industry for its durability.

"This rock fishing rod is easier to use for catching grouper, sea bass and the like, so you can spend less money on the rod." The implication is that the big investment is still on the reel.

"If I go out to sea on a boat, there will be an electric reel on the boat, and a reel for offshore fishing will be enough. Please get me a better rock fishing rod." He was a little skeptical about domestic rock fishing rods, even though Guangwei is very awesome now.

The offshore wheel cannot be incomplete. Going to sea depends entirely on other people's electric winches, just in case of special circumstances.

"Haha, considering you're fishing for big bluefish, your lure rod is more than enough for offshore fishing for sea bass and yellowfin snapper. You're just afraid of catching a big one so you use the Guangwei one."

"A fishing rod that's sufficient for your use is fine. Whether you're rock fishing or fishing from a boat, you won't be holding the rod for long periods of time, so a heavier rod won't matter."

"But you have to choose the right reel. If you have a bad reel, fishing will be a pain."

"Wait until you're familiar with sea fishing before you change your equipment. Why rush to spend money?"

"Okay." Qin Dahe didn't understand these either, but looking at the boss's demeanor, he still believed it.

Besides, although Liu Da, who was drinking tea next to him, didn't say anything, Boss Wang frequently offered him tea, so he probably has some status in Shanghai.

Guangwei's rock fishing rod is only 150 yuan, which is really cheap. The next step is to choose a reel.

The reel used for sea fishing is a spinning reel, one large and two small, all imported from the island country.

Many brands have not yet entered the domestic market, and the bosses bring them back privately to sell. As for the channels through which they enter the market, Qin Dahe did not ask.

In the boss's own words, domestically produced wheels are not easy to use nowadays.

The shifting is poor and not smooth, and I feel it most clearly when fishing for small fish, as it’s too strenuous.

The three wheels cost him six thousand, and he also gave him a few rolls of braided line.

Although the budget was 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, the boss was very generous and the whole set cost less than 7,000 yuan. The combination was very reasonable, probably because of Liu Cixin.

When you change your equipment in the future, you can still use the three most expensive wheels, just change the rod.

"Okay, thank you, Boss Wang." He paid the money quickly and saved a lot this time.

The boss also gave him a rod bag, which he could put his fishing rod and reel in and carry on his back.

Before leaving, I also gave Liu Da two pounds of small squids. By the evening, there was still some bait left, so he had to eat it himself or send it to a restaurant, otherwise it would go bad.

"Dahe, let me tell you, these fresh squids are the most delicious. Just blanch them in boiling water and dip them in some sauce."

"We can just go to the hotel and work on it later. I'll treat you tonight."

Since Qin Dahe is here, he must be entertained.

"Haha, go back and get the car first, I'll pick up my Fifth Master."

You can't just go out and eat good food by yourself, so you can stay at the hotel near Wuyediubaoshan.

When we returned to the fishing tackle shop, the girl in black stockings was still sitting at the cashier, checking out customers.

"Sister Li, do you want some baby squid tonight?"

"Mr. Liu, please eat. I'm about to get off work." Sister Li glanced at Qin Dahe and nodded slightly.

She has a good eye. She is the one who is receiving guests, so there is no point in going over to her without saying a word.

"alright."

Qin Dahe said hello and went out to get the car to pick someone up.

When they arrived at the hotel, Wu Ye wanted to be pretentious and just have a hotel-style box lunch, but he was pulled out directly.

It’s just a meal, Fifth Master treats him so well.
