Fishing methods
Uki — float fishing
A float shows bites while suspending the bait at a chosen depth. Adjusting the float stop changes the feeding layer.
Sabiki fishing
A multi-hook rig imitates tiny prey while a bait basket releases a small trail of shrimp. Fish vertically at a permitted pier rather than swinging exposed hooks through a crowd.
