Recommended Tackle Rods: Medium action casting or spinning. For the extreme angler a medium light action rod will be fun and definitely a challenge. There are places that warrant the use of heavy rods too depending on the type of the pond or lake. Reels Spinning: Sizes 1000 to 2000 will be good enough. Reels Baitcasting : Low profile low speed. Lines: 10lb to 15lb braided (monofilaments can be used too but I prefer braids) in clearer waters. In waters with dense vegetation and snags, higher poundage of 25lb to higher can be used. Leader Lines: 20lb to 25lb fluorocarbon. Spoons: Various types and colors. The cicada spoon has been one of my favourites. Spinners : Various types and colors, but my favourite color would be a silver spinner with black skirts. Lures : Crankbaits, minnows, etc. There you have it. Fishing for haruan is like hunting and is an adventure in its own way. Do email me at phil@theasianangler.com should you need more information about fishing them. 196
