[Fishing Tips] TAMO AMI. Japanese landing net - FISHING JAPANESE STYLE
When I first time moved to North America, I was surprised that I could not find any telescopic landing pole.
In Japan, Tamo-ami タモ網 is very popular and we can find it at any fishing store. It has a telescopic pole and net. The telescopic could be from 2m to 6m. When we fish from the rock, cliff, jetty, pier, etc.. we need a landing net with a very long pole. The telescopic landing pole makes it.
I introduce a Japanese-style landing net/pole. Tamo Ami.
In the U.S. (and Canada), I could not find it. So I bought some in Japan and brought it back. When I was into Bass Fishing, it was not always necessary. Since in many cases, I was fish at the water edge and could easily hand-landing the fish. But when I used Jerkbait with 3 triple hooks, the landing net was very useful. Multi triple hooks can be very dangerous for hand landing.
Then I started saltwater fishing a couple of years ago here in Southern California. The landing net got to be very important for me. I often fish from the rocky Jetty. I have a distance to the water surface, no way to hand landing. I can pull the fish off but it could make damage to the fish. Fish may but off their rip. I may have a line break and it could hurt the fish. A landing net can save it.
This Japanese-style landing net is very useful. I do recommend this to all bank fishermen!
