>>620922I watched a lot of youtube videos and got really into the idea, but the rods are so damn expensive, and I thought to myself "if this is really a popular japanese sport they must have poverty tier gear over there"
I went looking and I was right. I've bought a lot of rods from Japan and my standby is "docooler 3.6m / 11.8ft Carbon Fiber Portable Telescopic Fishing Rod Ultralight Mini Pole Travel Fishing Tackle"
look that shit up on amazon. 15 dollar telescopic carbon rod and I hammer creeks with it all year round.
