Today was a very good day for me. I beat my personal best in most species and fish in one session of fishing. My setup was Shimosuke 3.3,12ft of 3.5 level line, 3ft of 5x tippet and Black Magic size 18 2x long fly hook with white bread for bait. Fishing, I put a bread trail in the water to drive the fish in a frenzy. Once the fish got in a frenzy I put a piece of bread on the hook and hooked up fish after fish. The total fish was 19 fish,1 redeye toadfish,5 yellowfin bream,1 unidentified sea garfish - I know my local area like the back of my hand but I never seen that fish here. 1 hardyhead and ten eastern sea garfish. I caught all those fish in 40 minutes.

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.

Seriously, all the hooks sold on TenkaraBum.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or incorporated into flies, are sharp - or as Daiichi says on their hook packages, Dangerously Sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.

Also, all the rods sold on TenkaraBum.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunder storm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!
