| Circumstances of the bamboo rod. (October 15, 2000) |
| XLV750R The river of Japan is small-scale and be a rapid current. And, the size of the fish is 20 cm to 25 cm. I introduced a part in my English page. There are many photographs more in the page of Japanese. Please try to click the link of http://home.att.ne.jp/gold/XLV750R/baku/bakuindex.htm That you can see it if you are only a photograph I think. An urgent complicated flow. We aim for the pin spot. It is difficult to drift a fly 50cm or more naturally. Therefore it does cast numerously. Also it makes busy a trick cast and line mending. Also, the tippet is the characteristic even of long with a leader. I am connecting a tippet to the leader of 12 feet, 3 or more feet. |
| Many Japanese are small and weak. Average
height be 170cm. They request a light fly
rod. This is the decisive weak point of bamboo.
The length is 8f to 8f6 and the light rod
of # 3 or # 4. There are many bamboo rod builder in Japan. They are not solving this problem, although be familiarized with the place and angle with the fish of Japan. Also, their bamboo rod is very expensive. (US$2000 or more.) The time for delivery be half year over with order production. It is not an instrument and be an object of industrial art. Is it satisfactory to possess and the bamboo rod lover of Japan, is not to use? I do not have a bamboo rod. It is Orvis Ultrafine 7f9 #2 and Orvis Henrry'sFork 8f6 #5, that I am using it usually. Although many Japanese seem to like action of SAGE, I like Orvis. |
