Fishing or angling is a fun sport and fishing trips are adventures that anglers partake in and enjoy going on. Catching fish is the objective of our game and also to spend time outdoors and with friends who share the same interest. Many anglers start out fishing at a young age using lines rolled around metal cans, plastic spools, etc. Some start with a branch, a line, and a hook. Of course we grow up and so does our game.
From here some continue fishing with poles instead of branches, foam pieces are replaced with specialized floats, sinkers are now called split shots, and an elastic allows for shock absorption. The game is also much more technical now. It involves reading the water such as depth, movement (currents, winds, etc.). With these information; different types of floats are used and different types of split shots are used depending on the rig and the conditions. There are lots more such as studying the floats (movement), etc.
