Fishing is one of the most popular sports. Catching a fish is an exciting step in every kid’s life. Their first fish may come from an outdoor show fishing pond, Kid Derby, or sitting on the bank with Grandpa. These memories are remembered for life. For many, the first fish will lead to many more as they pursue this lifetime addiction of fun.
There is a boatload of fishing styles. For most kids, we started with a Cane Pole and a hook. Today they give this style of fishing fancy names like Tenkara, or Keiryu fishing. These are a fixed length of line, attached to a stick or cane, which has a hook or fly on the end.
