The lure hit the water, and Yue Feng began to silently count the time it took for the bait to sink—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7—it took a full seven seconds before he felt the lure hit the bottom.
Yue Feng instantly judged that the water depth at this spot was slightly deeper than most of the places he had tested the day before, approximately two and a half meters.
Barely lifting the rod to prevent the bait from lying on the bottom too much and getting snagged, Yue Feng quickly manipulated the water drop wheel to start the variable-speed reeling.
The smaller lure had a much more agile swimming posture in the water compared to the larger one previously used. Under Yue Feng's control, it displayed accelerations, suspensions, risings, and fallings—various swimming stances.
After searching with one cast, he didn't discern any attacking movements. Yue Feng began to reel in to make another cast.
