Fishing at Yoshinokawa


It has caught my attention every time I passed the bridge on my motorbike. Then one day I stopped and observe one of the guy fishing at the bridge. I noticed that he was not using any bait on his hook but some kind of jig, a peculiar looking jig that was. At closer look I found that the jig was a hand made and the fish hooks - 3 of them were hidden in the ramification of various colour of plastic ribbons. Furthermore there were no back spike at he hooks. I wonder how any fish would get hooked if the hooks have no spikes. How to fish using this strange gadgets. Not difficult though, I saw the man lowering the line into the water from atop the bridge with the jig and pulling it up and down rather slowly but in consistent motion. Any strike ?
