Thread: Micro Fishing.

I was mistaken on the length of the longer rod, as evidenced by the title of this interview.

I have a 6'6" Imprimi also and don't care for the action much, reminds me of the buggy whip type ultralight rods of the 80's Eagleclaw. I only used it a hand full of times. Thinking about selling it.

I listened to the link above, and it sounds like keiryu or possibly herabuna.

"Pole talk" starts at the 22 minute mark.

The way he's fishing it (breaking it down every time he hooks a fish and then extending it again) is not the way those poles were intended to be fished. It's obviously working for him, but that's gotta wear down the joints a lot faster.

I've got him beat. 27' is short.

That is a good site. Glad it helped.

I thought the same. I watched a video of a British guy fishing with a Japanese angler in Japan using those to catch a very tiny fish. The rods used in that video were at the 1,500 dollar mark. One thing for sure....some crappie tourney anglers are going to try some of those rods.
