Rod Sources

I used to use Jason Klass' blog for links to the different sites that sold tenkara gear and rods. When he joined with TUSA he took down that list from his blog. Now he is no longer with TUSA but has not put the list back up. I am not sure if he will. Chris Stewart also post about the last Tenkara Summit and how it would have been better if all the different Sellers of gear was there. This got me thinking and I have collected the web addresses of the different sites that sell Tenkara gear and rods. I wanted to share this list with others that are looking for more choices. If you know of a site I do not list please let me know and add it in a reply. I am not affiliated with any of these sites and have only dealt with a couple of them. Hopefully I am not breaking any forum rules with this post. If I am please let me know and delete my post. Here is my list.

Thank you for this very useful post.

One that comes to mind is Temple Fork, the guys who came out recently with their "soft hackle" model. ~Paul

Paul, I was going to add that to the list but they do not even list it on there web site. You will need to buy it from a store that carries it.

Edited to correct second link (thanks Mike).

Thanks Chris. Your sencond one did not open with the - in the addy. Without it it opens. I added these to my list also. Thanks again.

Mike -- Odd about TFO not yet having Soft Hackle info on their site. You might consider listing Fly Masters, but they don't show that rod on their site either. So it goes. ~Paul

Mike, FYI, the list is back up and updated.

Has anyone found a sight that has the wooden Tenkara nets in sizes for small mountain streams

The smallest I have seen or been able to find is 24 cm. Which is about 9 inches across. Most of them are made much larger than that, I recently got some samples of 33cm and 38cm.
