In the fishing world, when it comes to the name "Yi Zhe", many people may not have heard of it. But when it comes to bait, most of the baits used by anglers may be related to this name.
He is the leader of China's bait industry, the inventor of bait pulling technology, and Yi Zhe, known as the "ghost brother". It is no exaggeration to say that he is the "first person to make bait" in the fishing world.
Yi Zhe, a legend in the fishing world, has a unique bait-making technique
Yi Zhe is a native of Hubei Province and has had a strong interest in fishing since he was a child. As a "top student" of Huazhong Agricultural University, Yi Zhe has been studying fishing bait since graduation, and combined with his own fishing experience, he tried to improve the bait.
At that time, most of the domestic bait market was occupied by the products of foreign companies, and Yi Zhe, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, vowed to make a bait for Chinese and occupy a place in the domestic bait industry.
He has a hobby of fishing, and he is a senior intellectual at an agricultural university, and his profession and hobby are very compatible, which strengthens his confidence in developing fishing bait.
Soon, Yi Zhe's research came to fruition. The lure pulling technique, which is still favored by anglers, is from Yi Zhe. This bait-making technology, which can be quickly loaded with bait, has been sought after by anglers since its launch.
Bait is the soul of fishing and is the key factor that determines the success or failure of fishing. Of course, making bait is also a science and an art. In order to make a good bait, it is necessary not only to have rich fishing experience, but also to have the corresponding innovative spirit, continuous experimentation and improvement.
In this regard, Yi Zhe undoubtedly gave full play to its own advantages, and brought the bait making technology to the extreme, and soon opened a world in the domestic bait market, and the products also opened up foreign markets and exported to many countries.
Focusing on bait research for 30 years, he has invented a variety of popular fishing baites
Since turning to the development of fishing bait in 1992, Yi Zhe has been focusing on fishing bait for more than 30 years, and has invented a variety of popular fishing baits, making great contributions to the fishing industry in China.
In 1995, the "Shake Three Shake" fishing bait was introduced, which is extremely simple to operate, and the bait that entry-level anglers will use at a glance, is still regarded as the "magic bait" by many anglers.
In 1996, Yi Zhe launched the "918" fishing bait, the original speed fishing stunt bait pulling technique, shook the entire fishing world, when a student used this bait in a 6-hour fishing competition to catch a total of 918 crucian carp, creating the highest record of speed fishing crucian carp that year, "918" fishing bait has since become famous.
To this day, this is a height that many fishing masters find difficult to achieve.
In addition to his superb bait making skills, Yi Zhe is also unambiguous in fishing and has won many fishing championships. He has been fishing since 1994 and won the third place in the 10th National Fishing Tournament International Fishing Invitational in the same year. In 1999, Yi Zhe became the first player in Hubei Province to win the honor of "Fishing Master".
At that time, 27-year-old Deng Gang quit his job and entered the fishing circle. That year, Yi Zhe was 38 years old.
Speaking up for fishing friends, it can be called a clear stream in the fishing circle
The fishing skills are superb, and the level of bait making surpasses the fishing skills, which may be a very appropriate evaluation of Yi Zhe.
Of course, in the eyes of fishing enthusiasts, "ghost brother" Yi Zhe is still a righteous and outspoken fishing master. When the incident of fishing friends being driven away and having their fishing rods confiscated in Susong, Anhui Province, Yi Zhe spoke out twice for the incident, expressing solidarity with fishing enthusiasts and calling for the protection of the healthy development of recreational fishing.
When other "fishing masters" in the fishing circle were afraid to avoid it, Yi Zhe stood up twice to speak for his fishing friends, and was regarded by fishing friends as "a clear stream in the fishing world".
Some fishing friends said that after Yi Zhe, there is no real fishing master in the fishing world. At least in the current fishing circle, there are really not many fishing masters who can come forward for fishing enthusiasts.
The sentence "ghost brother, the clear stream of the fishing circle" may be the best response from fishing friends to Yi Zhe.
At the age of 64, he is still immersed in the fishing line, fishing for more than ten hours a day
In April 2021, Yi Zhe and Hua Shaoxin were crowned with the title of Lifetime Honorary Fishing Master of the China Fishing Sports Association, which is the highlight of Yi Zhe and an affirmation of his decades of persistence
Today, although Yi Zhe is 64 years old, his enthusiasm for fishing has not diminished at all, and he is still immersed in the fishing line, sometimes fishing for more than ten hours a day, and he is tireless at all.
He often travels to various places to participate in various fishing activities, exchange skills with fishing friends, and explain the knowledge of bait. At the same time, on the road of bait-making, Yi Zhe, who was called "ghost brother" by fishing friends, did not stop because of his previous glory, and successively launched a variety of fishing baits such as "fresh bait" that are popular with anglers, and even entered the pet feed industry.
Today, the "old ghost", who is in his 60s, is still fighting for his mission. In Yi Zhe's own words, it is: "I have to support the hundreds of employees who work with me...... Some people have been working with us since they were teenagers, and they are not very educated, so they can't fall down themselves......"
Integrity and selflessness, this is the kind of evaluation that "ghost brother" deserves, and this may also be a quality that most anglers have.
