WPA/Matsumoto Championship Series 2018/2019

 

Pada penghujung April lalu (28 April), saya berkesempatan untuk menghadiri pusingan akhir (pusingan ketiga) aktiviti pole fishing yang dilangsungkan di Fish Valley Semenyih.

 

Whip pole fishing merupakan satu segmen pancingan air tawar dalam method pole fishing.

Ia merupakan salah satu kaedah pancingan tertua khususnya di Eropah. Namun, konsep pancingan lebih tertumpu kepada skil dan teknik berbanding nasib ini masih berstatus baby di negara.

Berbanding negara Jepun, China atau Vietnam ternyata kita masih terlalu jauh ke belakang.

 

 

Bagi memakmurkan konsep pancingan ini, Whip Pole Action (WPA) dengan kerjasama Team Matsumoto telah mengadakan satu liga pertandingan bagi memperkenalkan sukan memancing ini disamping mencari bakat-bakat baru untuk menyertainya.
