Fishing is a popular sport even in our world of modern day conveniences. It seems easy enough, conceptually, but in reality there is a lot technical knowledge involved. Even the basic fishing rod is not immune – there are, for instance, more than three hundred different kinds of Lamiglas fishing pole available. Lamiglas is a specialty manufacturer with specific rods for specific breeds of fish.

To a layman, it may seem surprising, but given all the different species of fish there are to be caught, it is logical for a rod to be produced with performance characteristics that will best help the angler get his or her catch! Such a variety of rods also makes sense when you take into account that there are tens of millions of recreational fishermen and women around the world.

And so each Lamiglas fishing pole is produced by hand, individually, with good old-fashioned craftsmanship right alongside the most contemporary advances in materials science. That’s over three hundred fly, surf, fresh and salt water rods for steelhead, salmon, bass, and just about any other kind of fish. Lamiglas fishing poles are popular with recreational anglers. At fishing tournaments, it is interesting to see all the different designs sported, each individually suited to all the different personal casting styles and fishing conditions possible!

This profusion of rods is most common to sport fishing, but their advanced technologies make them especially appropriate for subsistence fishing, also known as artisan fishing, an ironic synonym that usually conveys connotations of upscale excess but which here in this context probably refers to the fact that such fishing, in order to be environmentally sustainable, takes the kind of care more commonly associated with the endeavors of conventional artisans and craftsmen.

Subsistence of artisan fishing is almost always less intensive and less stressful on fish populations than are modern day industrial methods, which fact is due in big part to its a lot more conventional techniques and individual scales.
