62 -62: Actual Combat is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth
Ordinary floats can also show this bite point after proper trolling, but the degree of movement is not significant, barely enough to be clearly seen.
High-end competition floats handle this better, with the float being able to showcase about a third of the intended action.
However, the float Yue Feng is currently using shows more than half of the bite, and the following stop is almost an exaggerated two bites in magnitude.
To the uninitiated, it might seem like a big carp was caught!
“Holy shit!
That was a clean move!” Wei Liang exclaimed.
The fish was slightly bigger than the previous one, weighing about three taels and a bit more.
“I wasn’t talking nonsense, was I?
How’s that?
Is it good enough?” Yue Feng displayed the second fish to everyone again.
“The bites are quite aggressive over here!
Wonder how it’d look with a different brand float?” Ma Run muttered.
“No worries, didn’t you bring other brand floats?
Just find one with similar lead weight and try it out!” Yue Feng, confident, quickly called out upon hearing Ma Run.
Ma Run wasted no time, retrieving a float box from the car and picking out two floats commonly used for Crucian Carp angling.
“These are all Crucian Carp floats, though they require slightly less lead, around 1.1!” Ma Run said while selecting floats.
“Alright, that’s close enough.
Adjust four, troll two, ragworm, switch to your float and give it a try!”
This time, Ma Run picked out a long-bodied, short-footed, long-tailed reed float designed specifically for small Crucian Carp. frёeωebɳovel.com
It was slender with a small cross-sectional area, minimizing resistance when initiating a bite, making it a classic bottom-fishing float for Crucian Carp.
A few minutes later, after re-tuning his gear, Yue Feng repeated his technique, casting back into the feeding spot.
After a few minutes of emptying the spot, on his first cast, the float immediately signalled a bite.
Without a comparison, you can’t see the gap, and the newly swapped float’s movement was quite standard, but the magnitude of the bite was noticeably less, with just a gentle nibble followed by a substantial pause.
“Got one!” Ma Run couldn’t contain his enthusiasm and chimed in.
Yue Feng lifted the rod to hook the fish, pulling up the Crucian Carp.
It was roughly the same size as the previous one, about three taels.
Yue Feng didn’t say anything and casually prepared some bait before casting again.
By now, the people behind him started murmuring quietly.
“Alu’s reed float normally looks quite good, but compared to Yue Feng’s earlier movement, it’s still a bit lacking!”
“It’s not just a bit; you say the float movement is standard, I have no objections, but the magnitude is much less!
It already requires less lead by about 0.2g; with the same tuning, the earlier movement was nearly half less!
And this is after gaining considerable advantage due to its elongated deep-bottom fishing float design!
If you’re fishing for farmed fish and have any requirements for float travel, the difference becomes even more apparent!”
As an experienced angler, Liu Fengnian, who was very knowledgeable about floats, bluntly pointed out the disparities between the two floats.
Yue Feng cast a few more times, and another fish bit the bait.
This time, the bite came from the bottom, and the float movement was significantly worse than the previous one, with the gentle probing action barely noticeable.
The float briefly paused as it neared the bottom before sinking lightly, and then the fish was hooked!
“Look, this one was hooked near the bottom.
The movement was much worse!
Almost no pause, just a smooth slide into a shadow float and fish on!” Liu Fengnian continued to explain.
Yue Feng lifted the rod, removing the float: “Any more?
Try another brand!
Everyone saw the difference with this one!”
Ma Run took the float and pulled another one from the float box.
“Hey, I don’t believe it, you try this one!”
Yue Feng didn’t argue back, he just took the float and attached it to the line setup.
This float required slightly less lead than the previous one, the lead skin on the seat directly submerged the float.
Yue Feng remained silent; after all, those with sharp eyes were watching!
Adjusted the same to four depth marks, fishing at two.
The results of this experiment were even worse.
They only caught three fish, and only one of them had acceptable movements; the other two barely hit the target by half a mark or more, and the small movements from the bait probing didn’t show up on the float at all.
“There’s something off with your float!
It feels pretty flimsy!” Old Liu spoke up again.
“Liu’s right, I think this float feels flimsy too!” Lei Lei was straightforward, saying whatever came to mind.
“It’s from Wang Jian’s shop, the Pond Sea Golden Eye, shouldn’t be!
Could it be the trolling wasn’t set right!” Ma Run muttered, still not quite ready to give up.
Yue Feng removed the float from the mainline float seat, glanced at it casually, and grinned as he handed it back to Ma Run.
A counterfeit Golden Eye float!
Insight Skill had given Yue Feng a precise answer.
Although he saw there was an issue, Yue Feng didn’t voice his opinion.
They were all in the same line of work, and saying such things could seem like taking the opportunity to smear others.
“Liu, take a look, is there something wrong with this float?” Ma Run got a bit anxious by Yue Feng’s grin and casually passed the float, which cost over a hundred, to Liu Fengnian.
Liu Fengnian took it, briefly examined the tail of the float, then checked the body and the connection between the float foot and tail.
He quickly shook his head.
“I guess its quality isn’t much better than those ten yuan wild fishing floats.
The joints at both ends of the float belly aren’t even polished smooth!
Look at the Golden Eye logo, it’s blurred!
Fake!”
“Damn, I’m going back to confront him later!” Ma Run gritted his teeth and said.
“Anyone else want to try?
Now that we’re here, let’s try a few more!” Yue Feng continued.
One after another, the group tried several of their own floats and none could match the performance.
They were consistently outperformed, with no other matching its caliber.
The group spent a bit over an hour at the small reservoir, then happily headed back to the shop.
When Yue Feng opened the shop door, a few quick-handed guys slipped behind the counter without doing anything else and grabbed a float first.
Even the high-end Alu floats priced at 160 were sold for 120, what an absolute bargain!
Now, they had a total of nine floats in stock, and since Liu Fengnian, Wang Meng, and Lei Lei each took one before starting their experiments, only seven remained, but there were eight people in the shop, not enough to go around.
“Damn, we can’t play like this, someone share one with me!” Wei Liang instantly felt desolate when he didn’t snatch one.
“Haha!
Fast hands have, slow hands lack, who told you not to be quicker!” Liu Fengnian chuckled and teased.
“Liu and Little Fat were clever, picking them out before we started experimenting!” Lei Lei gleefully looked over the float he secured, growing fonder of it the more he looked.
“Yue Feng, come up with something, everyone has one, just me left out,” Wei Liang rubbed his hands together, feeling uneasy as if a cat had scratched his heart.
“Alright, why don’t you take the one I’ve used in the water once, that one is from an old reed, it has pretty patterns!
But I can’t give you a discount!” Yue Feng gave in and pulled the once-water-touched reed float from his float box and presented it to Wei Liang.
