"Oh shoot, according to what you're saying, I should be changing to a bigger line setup!" Zhang Yang scratched his head, entertaining some thoughts in his heart.
Currently, Zhang Yang is using a line setup of five plus four, with his fish control technique on point. Without casting the rod fully, this setup in Zhang Yang's hands has a pretty high success rate with catching grass carp weighing thirty to forty pounds.
But if the catch's weight is any heavier, Zhang Yang isn't fully confident in his heart.
To break the rod with a swordfish carp, the big grass carp must weigh at least seventy to eighty pounds. Using a five plus four line setup for such a big fish is clearly too small, with a low tolerance margin.
"How thick are you using now? When they used hand rods to fish such big grass carp, at least twelve plus ten lines were used as a base, and even 15+13!" Old Wu asked while glancing at the main line in Zhang Yang's hands.
