I was watching a Japanese video and it seems it is more accurate to say 傘を持った
rather then 傘を持っている to indicate that I am holding an umbrella. For example if
someone asks "傘を持った？" the grammatically correct reply would be "持ったよ" rather
then "持っているよ". Why is this so? To me, 持った sounds like I held the umbrella (and
don't have it now), whilst 持っている sounds like I am holding an umbrella now.
Therefore, 持っている sounds more correct, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

question
aspect past
Past tense and continuous tense of verb (持った・持っている)
傘(を)持った？ is mostly used in this situation, which is when you go out and it
looks like rain, your mother(or someone) says "傘持った？". This た means
"completion" and this 持つ means "have" or "take" rather than "hold". I think
"To hold an umbrella" is translated as 傘をさす.

answer
持つ HAVE  
傘を持った。 can mean having it in your hand or having a folding umbrella in your
bag.

Since you are asked 持った？ we answer back 持ったよ。  
If you are asked 傘を持ってる？ we answer back 持ってるよ。

傘を持っている？ is often used when it is raining outside and you are not sure the
person is having an umbrella in their bag.

> 「傘持ってる？」「持ってないなぁ。。。。」「じゃ、貸してあげるよ。」

傘をさす。 To put up an umbrella

> 「あの人は雨が降っていないのに、傘をさしている。」
