Fishing Styles

Spinner/Conventional Tackle
If you have caught a fish in your lifetime, there’s a pretty high chance you caught it on a “conventional” fishing rod and reel. Conventional fishing is easily the most known way of fishing; from farm ponds to offshore, a conventional rod and reel can do it all. They come in several styles, from Mickey Mouse push button to giant long rods with electric reels on them; you just have to know what you’re setting out to catch to choose the right one for you. We are saying conventional to discuss the use of conventional lures and baits. Unlike fly fishing with flies, netting fish with cast nets, or spearfishing with a speargun, you’re using a standard fishing rod with one of a few standard reels such as push buttons, spinning reels, and bait-casters.

Tenkara Fly Fishing
Tenkara fishing can be seen as a streamlined counterpart to western fly fishing. The equipment is designed to direct focus on the actual fishing and catching of the fish, not to cause a major preoccupation with the equipment. Only a rod, tenkara line and fly are necessary for tenkara fishing (no reel is used). The appeal of tenkara is its elegant simplicity. There are also other advantages of using the long tenkara rods when fishing in mountain streams, primarily the lightness of the line and delicate presentation. The long rod allows for precise placement of the fly on small pools and holds the fly in place on the other side of a current.
