Japanese Crucian Carp fishing
About Japanese Crucian Carp
The herabuna, as it is known to Japanese anglers, is the focus of a whole refined float-fishing discipline practised on lakes and reservoirs. It is a deep-bodied, cautious bottom feeder that sips dough baits suspended just off the bottom, demanding delicate floats and balanced rigs. Fishing is slow, technical and prized for its precision rather than raw size.
Typical size: Typically 25 to 35 cm; large fish around 45 cm. Record (approx.): approx. 2 kg (varies by region).
