Interesting idea...

This significantly/exponentially increases the number of targetable fish species available to anglers. Not sure how light the tackle would need to be to give the query a 'sporting' chance though?

Perfect! Don and I just got the tiny Nick Hadden at the Lang's auction! I am set! Except that 8X? Are you kidding? I can't see 7X. Great excuse to hire a cute young guide to tie on the bait or flies. Or break out my 4X dental loupes.
Steve, thanks for the new hobby.

I don't know what to think. Seriously why do you need a reel? Wouldn't you just fish Tenkara style?

As I understand it, the line used in Tenkara-style fishing is about the same length as the rod. That "trolling" rod is about a foot long, so the hook would be dangling around knee-level, rather than in the water. Hence the reel. Besides, any ORCAn fishing without a reel should have his membership revoked.Wouldn't you just fish Tenkara style?

Great posts! Evidently I have been in the vanguard of "micro-fishing" for years- ALL the fish I catch are about that size! Of course they're Smallmouth, Walleye, Trout, and Steelhead (do they count?)
I did want to show off the micro-fishing outfit I picked up this summer! Fully functional rod/reel- crank and drag works, and telescoping rod comes out to 30". No maker. Can't tell if this is legit or just a very well-made novelty. I need a little fly-rod Bass-Oreno for it then I'll try it out on Lake Joseph (my "micro-lake!") next Spring!
Thanks for the look. Best---- Joe Walkowski (WNY)
