What is Tetsuya Takahashi holding in his hand in 1:35 in this video?

Hi guys,

Saw this video recently on youtube and wondering what the dude is holding in his hand in 1:35? It seem to be some kind of wire rig?
Anyone knows what it is and how to tie it?



Thanks!

Looks like a type of wire spreader to me.

[David Hall]

definitely a spreader of some kind but I wouldn't have a clue how to make one, or what for.
We need some wire guys to weigh in on this one.

It looks like a wire contraption to hold the hooks and bait off the bottom.  It is explained in the subtitles.  Dominick

Looks like a rocker rig to me .

It's showing how it's used and how to rig it at 1;10 simply a drop sinker and double hook rigged to in the diagram.

I don't know but the last fish he caught is sure delicious, especially shyabu shyabu style instead of beef.

Larger versions are sometimes used in deep water fishing where the purpose is to keep the leader from being tangled with the main line on the drop when you are not using dropper loop (chicken) type rigs where the sinker is positioned on the bottom.

He seems to call it "tembin"??

He instructed his congregation to tie it on with a five wrap unimproved clinch knot.  How embarrassing for him.

It is a wire rig that puts the hook(sometimes up to 4) slightly above a smooth/sand bottom when fishing for kisu. You slowly drag the rig in and hope for a bite. Kisu is delicious fried crisp and the entire fish is eaten. I used it when I visited Kamogawa, a Pacific coast city southeast of Tokyo. In contrast to Mr. Takahashi, dedicated kisu fisherman sometimes spend tens of thousands of yen/hundreds of dollars for their outfits.

Thank you for the detailed translation. I have a better understanding now. A highly specialized technique for sure.
