I've decided to bite the bullet and give these new fangled Tenkara rods a try. I ordered the 11' Caddis Foutainhead rod since it was, quite frankly, the cheapest one they had and I have a little trepidation about getting new and exciting things. It has to do with explaining to the Misses why I need yet another rod while I have all those "collecting dust." Trying to tell her they, like whine, get better with age didn't seem to work too well.
So keep an eye out for a review on both tenkara fishing and these little-known Tenkara rods on the scene.
I think you'll like it just fine. Even if it doesn't sell you on tenkara it will do a lot better job giving you an idea of tenkara mechanics than an adapted western rod (like a crappie rod) would. Good luck, and let us know how you like it.
ReplyDeleteI can see it being good for fishing small dries in tiny pools in the backwoods. But we shall see....
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! 11 ft...good luck! I have enough of a challenge with a 9 ft. heehee It will be interesting to hear another tenkara review.
ReplyDeleteI know.... and that's the small one!! But I've been keeping my eye open while driving around and I think I have a few places where I can swing it without hitting a power line.
