Pole Fishing

[TAEHWAN KIM]

How are you all?

I have been chasen carp this summer with oriental fishing pole.

One that I'm using is 6 meters long and weighs only 190 gram.

When huge carp (20 plus) is hooked on this type of rod it's a brutal battle.

Here is 10 Lb. mirror carp from the Fountainhead Regional Park.

I'll be swining that fly rod soon......

 

Tight Lines,

hi todd,

are you using a dapping pole?

-Frank

[TAEHWAN KIM]

Frank,

 

This is not a dapping pole.

It is called Hera rod. It's more like telescopic rod.

It's made out of 99% carbon so it's very light and strong.

Reminds me of Tenkara, my favorite style of fly fishing. Although, I
can't imagine catching a carp on tenkara rod heh. Does the hera rod
have a reel?

Justin,

 

There is no reel for hera rod.

It's just long telescopic rod.( 6 meters)

Not a very good picture - but shows asian rod. Picture is in park outside Shanghei.

[TAEHWAN KIM]

Keith,

 

Thats it!!!!  That is the same type of rod I'm using.

I bet people in Shanghei don't catch the size of fish I'm catching here.

Here are some action photo and some fish I caught around the area.

That first pick of >180deg of rod bend on a rod with no reel has got
to be my #1 favorite pic! Classic.

I took a picture a couple of years ago of someone using this type of rod on a small lake next to the Hutong area in Beijing.  See attached.

Besides being able to catch monster goldfish, what are the advantages
of this type of rod? As far as I can tell from this awesome website
http://www.allfishingbuy.com/Hera-Rods.htm there are only
disavantages: no reel, a fragile tip, and it's ludicrously long. I
just can't figure it out. I guess I'll have to give it a try.

You guys should check out this video: http://tv.shimano.co.jp/movie/tv/paradise_06/

It's in Japanese (I presume), and he catches a very sizeable steelhead
in BC on one of these rods and whoops them in short order with this
reel-free set up. Fast forward to 12:30 to see the first steelhead
hook up, he continues to catch fish through the rest of the video.

Kind like two-handed Tenkara?

Been fishing tenkara in the mountain streams in the park pretty much
exclusively. it is really a blast. For those of you who are curious
about tenkara style fly-fishing I have a lot of info on the Middle
River Fly Fishing Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/MiddleRiverFlyFishing
Always happy to talk tenkara.
fish simply,
-tom
