The bigeye shiner above was caught in a good sized stream, but was within casting distance of a 7'10" rod. Savage Gear SG2 Micro Game Spinning Rods are designed for tiny lures, perfectly balanced for the optimal feel with fast, yet forgiving action to play the fish safely without hook pulls or line breaks. If you are not going to be sight fishing you may want a float to keep your bait suspended off the bottom. If you use the tanago floats, you will definitely want to have some micro sized split shot to make the float cock properly.

If you use the lightest of the Japanese micro fishing lines, you will have to wrap it around the connector twice to hold it securely. Some people use ultra light spinning rods, some use crappie rods, some use the Tanago rods or seiryu rods like the Air Stage Hakubai 240 or Kurenai HM30R sold here on Tenkarabum. I then switched to a 1/4 oz Kastmaster lure and was pleasantly surprised at the rods ability to load on the back cast and slingshot the lure a satisfying distance out into the lake. I was able to achieve remarkable casting distance with a half ounce weight without the rod feeling stressed in any way.

for unhooking small fish a micro sized disgorger is very useful, but I also carry a pair of very small needlenose forceps.

It comes as a shelf-stable powder, which when mixed 1:1 with water, produces a sticky paste that will stay on your hook. This rod is rated as a Light Power spinning rod but like many ultralight power rods it is capable of throwing a 1/16 ounce lure.a small fly fishing strike indicator and some small split shots will work ok but traditional japanese tanago floats are the best floats for the job.

The float included in the kit is quite sensitive, but the markers will show movement before the float does. ready tied hooks are a good starter but the lines they are tied on are usually much too heavy for micro fishing. When necessity dictates, a wide variety of other food sources can also work as bait for catching minnows.This includes items that pre-date sanctions, since we have no way to verify when they were actually removed from the restricted location. If you can't get that close to the fish and would like a rod that is more versatile than one of the tanago rods, the Nissin Air Stage Hakubai are rods to consider. There is some tip oscillation when casting and a fair to small bit of “whippiness” which keeps you from making precise casts.
