The journal published a study that compared swimmers using dolphin kick with fish kick and found that the fish kick was generally faster on a short distance and that it was generally "almost as fast", even though the swimmers had no prior experience with the stroke. [1] The kick has been noted for its difficulty in executing correctly. [4] [5]
In addition to rod and reel, the surf fisherman needs terminal tackle and bait or lure. Terminal tackle is the equipment at the far end of the line: hooks, swivels, lines and leaders. Surf fishing rigs like the snood rig are essential tools for anglers targeting fish from shorelines and beaches. The snood rig, known for its effectiveness in ...
The basic technique is to quickly flick/swing the rod forward towards the water, with the inertia of the tackles lagging and bending the rod backward (i.e. "loading" the rod), and then use the "springing" (elastic rebound) of the rod to "hurl" and rapidly sling the line forward, which in turn will launch out the hook and bait.

It is similar to the swimming action of a frog or the leg action in the breaststroke style of swimming. [7] Frog kick involves the simultaneous and laterally mirrored motion of both legs together, approximately parallel to the frontal plane. The description assumes that the diver is trimmed horizontal and intends to swim horizontally.
A gorge was a long, thin piece of bone or stone attached by its midpoint to a thin line. The gorge would be baited so that it would rest parallel to the lay of the line. When the game would swallow the bait, a tug on the line would cause the gorge to orient itself at right angles to the line, thereby sticking in the fish or animal's throat or ...
“That’s what we get in the sport of swimming when we do well. We train all year for a moment like that, and to have him disqualified I think is the dumbest thing ever. He works so hard every day.
Streamline form is a swimming technique that is used underwater in every stroke. At the start of a race or on a turn, streamline form is used, usually along with a dolphin kick or flutter kick, to create the least amount of resistance to help the swimmer propel as far as they can. Many factors contribute to the perfect streamline form and ...
