In the country, there is a master fisherman, who is famous in the fishing world for his deep study of bait and speed fishing techniques.
Fishing friends may not have heard of his name, but they have definitely heard of or used his bait, he is the founder of the "old ghost" brand, known as "Uncle Ghost" Yi Zhe.
From animal nutrition to fishing bait
Yi Zhe, probably the fishing master with the deepest research on bait in the fishing industry, graduated from Huazhong Agricultural University with a major in animal nutrition, devoted himself to fish nutrition research, and founded the predecessor of the old ghost bait company: Hubei Huatai Animal Nutrition Technology Industry Co., Ltd.
In the early 1990s, Yi Zhe found that Japanese-made baits had an advantage in the Chinese market, and he decided to turn to the research and development of fishing bait, using his expertise and fishing experience to create baits suitable for Chinese waters and fish.
Because he majored in animal nutrition, Yi Zhe knows the eating habits of fish well, which undoubtedly makes him more powerful in the research and development of fishing bait.
Soon, he set up a professional bait manufacturing company, specializing in the production and sale of bait.
The invention of Shake Three Shake and Nine One Eight, changed the direction of competitive fishing
In 1995, Yi Zhe invented a new type of fishing bait called Shake Three Shakes. This bait is a powdery substance that only needs to be put in the water and shaken a few times to form a soft bait. This bait is very convenient to use, and was once regarded as the magic bait for fishing.
In 1996, Yi Zhe invented a special bait for crucian carp fishing, called 918. This bait is a kind of wheat protein bait, which can quickly pull the bait into a clump and greatly improve the speed of the bait, which is the fast bait pulling technology that is popular in the fishing circle.
Yi Zhe shook the entire fishing world with his 918 bait and bait pulling technique, and changed the direction of China's competitive fishing. One of his students once caught 918 crucian carp in a six-hour fishing competition, an average of 153 per hour, setting a Guinness World Record for 265 carp.
As soon as the "918" bait came out, it became the mainstream choice of competitive fishing bait, and to this day, this bait is still popular in the fishing circle and has become one of the essential baits for anglers.
Founded the Old Ghost Cup and the Old Ghost Fishing School to promote the development of fishing sports
Yi Zhe not only focuses on the research and development of fishing bait, but also pays attention to the development of fishing sports. He used his influence to make many contributions to the fishing community.
In 1999, he presided over the establishment of the Old Ghost Cup National Fishing Grand Prix, which is a large-scale, high-level, and wide-ranging fishing tournament, attracting fishing clubs and fishing masters from all over the country to participate, and has become a bright spot in the competitive fishing arena, occupying a pivotal position.
In the same year, in order to cultivate fishing reserve forces, he also founded the Hubei Old Ghost Fishing School, and personally served as a coach, teaching bait skills, and specially invited professors and scholars of Huazhong Agricultural University and famous anglers in the mainland Cheng Ning, Hua Shaoxin, Zhong Shunyao, Liu Shusen and others to teach fish scientific knowledge and fishing technology, students throughout the country, affecting the entire Chinese fishing world.
Many of today's smash hit anglers come from his roots.
Become the "handle" of the bait industry
Yi Zhe is not only a master fisherman, but also a successful entrepreneur.
After years of development, the old ghost bait company founded by him has become the largest fishing bait manufacturer in China, with an annual output of 100,000 tons, occupying 70% of the domestic market share. "Old ghost" has also become a golden sign in the fishing world, and is deeply loved and trusted by fishing enthusiasts.
In 2003, he established Fengxing Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd., and further entered the fishing tackle industry, producing and selling various fishing tackle products, such as fishing rods, fishing lines, fishing hooks, fishing boxes, etc., providing one-stop fishing services for anglers.
Yi Zhe is not only an excellent bait developer, but also an excellent angler. He has participated in several national fishing tournaments with brilliant results. His bait and fishing skills have also influenced generations of fishing enthusiasts.
Pioneered the introduction of fresh bait to meet the needs of recreational anglers
Yi Zhe uses his expertise in animal nutrition and bait research and development to provide recreational anglers with some of the most classic baites.
His original lure pulling technique is now an essential skill for anglers. In recent years, Yi Zhe has launched fresh baits, earthworm pull and krill pull, both of which are based on fresh meat grouting technology and small peptide conversion technology, processing earthworms and bloodworms into soft bait, which has a strong attraction to fish.
Krill and earthworm pull have caused a commotion in the fishing circle, especially in winter, this kind of fresh bait can arouse the appetite of crucian carp and carp, so that fishing enthusiasts will not return empty-handed in the cold winter.
The fresh bait launched by the old ghost is a unique bait, and its main ingredients include earthworms, Antarctic krill, bloodworms, etc. These ingredients are all high-quality sources of protein that are extremely attractive to fish. Moreover, the old ghost's bait pulling technique has brought the characteristics of this bait to the extreme.
With this technique, the bait can be quickly kneaded into a ball, which is not only easy to use, but also highly hooked.
In winter, when the temperature plummets, fish consume a lot of high-protein foods to replenish their overwintering fat. At this time, the advantages of the old ghost's fresh bait are even more prominent. Due to its high protein content, it is able to meet the food needs of fish during the winter months. For fishing enthusiasts, choosing the bait of the "old ghost" is one of the factors that guarantee the catch.
Many people may have used the bait of the old ghost, but they have never heard the name "Yi Zhe". His bait skills have gone far beyond his name, which may have something to do with his low-key style.
It is currently winter, and when anglers harvest the joy of fish with fresh bait, don't forget to learn about the legendary life of "Ghost Brother".
