What to ask Mr Konishi?
January 30, 2011, 07:44:03 AM
I have been lucky enough to get in to a Carpenter seminar, to be held here, in Auckland, on the 5/02, Mr Konishi will be giving the talk about his adventures, and of course his tackle, if you had the chance to ask just one question of Mr Konishi, what would it be?

No - that is a bad idea because he will know for sure where that came from!  ;D
By the way, David showed me what type of bird it was. It really was not very big at all
If it swims; I want to catch it!

I'd ask for a time line from when he started building rods and designing lures, to becoming a surface lure fishing God that he is!
A bio.........that's #1 for me and I'd be thankfull for any Gamma donations too  ;D

"Could you please make more lures so us mere mortals get to fish with them".

Brandon,

You should suggest that the next new lure released by Carpenter be called ..... ' Tori '

I'd probably ask him if he would ever consider adopting a wolly headed South African who is more than willing to be his bag carrier and "Tackle Tech" ( Guitar Legends have Guiter Tech, why not a tackle tech?? ) and get to come along and learn from him...

Mark's question would be my next one...

And I guess one that one might actually get an answer for is trying to find out from him how and when he knows when to change a lure, or work it a certain way to turn fish on.... then again, thats probably a pretty difficult thing to explain!

so basically 'Dre, you just want to be his "roadie"?! ;)

God only knows what a body search would reveal to customs officers when you're on your way back home.  ;) "No sir, it's a Sea Frog"

But seriously, I would actually ask him what the secret is to the apparent magic of his Gammas. No chance of even getting a response on that one I suppose.  8)

Angus,

I thought you'd put your hand up for his artist!

As for your Gamma question, I think you would be blocked by my attempts to steal the patent for it!

Aaron.
