Fishing reels are manually cranked reels typically mounted onto a fishing rod, used to wind and stow fishing line [3] when a long casting distance or a prolonged retrieval is expected. Traditional fishing reels are essentially compact windlasses with a " direct-drive " design, while modern reels since the Industrial Revolution typically are ...
Fishing line with hooks attached. A fishing line is any flexible, high-tensile cord used in angling to tether and pull in fish, in conjunction with at least one hook.Fishing lines are usually pulled by and stored in a reel, but can also be retrieved by hand, with a fixed attachment to the end of a rod, or via a motorized trolling outrigger.
In angling, casting is the act of the angler throwing the bait and hook (or a lure) as well as other attached terminal tackles out over the water, typically by slinging a fishing line manipulated by a long, elastic fishing rod. The term itself may also be used for setting out a net when artisanal fishing.
Oradea ranks ninth most populated among Romanian cities (as of the 2021 census). [2] [8] It covers an area of 11,556 hectares (28,560 acres), in an area of contact between the extensions of the Apuseni Mountains and the Crișana-Banat extended plain. Oradea has a high standard of living and ranks among the most livable cities in the country. [9]
Electrofishing relies on two electrodes which deliver direct current at high-voltage from the anode to the cathode through the water. [2] When a fish encounters a large enough potential gradient on this path, it becomes affected by the electricity. Usually pulsed direct current (DC) is applied, which causes galvanotaxis in the fish ...
The Skyactiv-G [7] is a family of direct injection petrol engines. The engine compression ratio is 14:1, except in the U.S. market where it is 13:1 so the engine can operate on regular instead of premium gasoline; the lower compression ratio reduces torque and fuel economy by 3 to 5 percent. [8]
Fishing tools from the Mesolithic and Neolithic period. Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. [4] Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish.
The BMW N20 is a 1.6 and 2.0 L (98 and 122 cu in) turbocharged four-cylinder DOHC petrol engine with variable valve lift and variable valve timing which replaced the N53 (or BMW N52 in some markets) and was produced from 2011 to 2017 by BMW. Although the N20 is a four-cylinder engine, it is considered a replacement for the naturally aspirated ...
