Yes, sorry I did not catch that.
What Fujino tapered lines did you get?
I am looking for some rod recommendations for a couple different situations. The first rod I am looking for help with is going to be used for carp fishing. I have been looking at the Daiwe Kiyose 43m...
I had a pair of Korkers that lasted me years and are still going strong. These are the original OmniTrax soles with laces. I upgraded to the newer OmniTrax soles with the Boa Laces and purchased the...
I have to agree. If you do rig up, you want to feel that tug. If something stops or interupts you while do so it becomes a pain. Just do not rig up a rod for yourself and help the person your...
I have one of these rods although I bought it separate from the starter kit. It is a nice rod for being a starter rod. It is a little on the stiffer side than my liking for bluegills but I tend to...
After the phone call I got waking me up from my sleep, I am removing my review. I will most likely quit doing reviews and testing products.

Golden, I was actually there to get the EZ-keepers for my new rod when I seen this. The EZ-keepers system is good to use when moving from spot to spot. For longer storage I prefer to store the line...
Jason, the line does not interfere with wrapping the line. You can hold it out of the way. You do need to hold the line closer to the container to keep it from straying over the side.
While shopping at Walmart, I was looking in the fishing department for some Fuji hook holders when a came across a new product. It is called RigRap. After looking at it I decided for the price to...
Mystic is coming out with a Tenkara Rod. I ended up getting one from my Local Fly Shop, Flymasters of Indianapolis. Mine does not have a label on it but, the other rods they will be getting will have...
The hook also plays an important part. The bend, wire size, and barb will keep you from using some beads. I find a round bend to allow more bead sizes. I also use the seed glass beads and some 3mm...
Most people who take up micro fishing(since we have no bitterling in the states) will use bait of some sort. Since fishing for true micros would be extremely difficult to do with a fly. You can use...
When warm water tenkara fishing, it is not critical to keep the line off the water. If fishing streams for trout then you may need to keep the line off the water if your goal is a dead free drift. If...
I have wanted to try something new with furled line since trying out the Sempai Line. Everyone always makes furled leaders tapered. I wondered how a level furled line would work. After meeting...

I really love my Nissin Super ProSquare 6:4 4510. I would classify this as a slower 6:4 compared to the faster TUSA Amago 6:4. My Nissin is also the only rod I have broken. Both times due to...
Brad,
That is a very good question, but also very hard to answer. All rod manufactures have there own way to rate a rod. Not every 6:4, 5:5, or 7:3 is going to be the same. Some are softer and...
Do they have to be caught using Tenkara gear or can we use western fly tackle or spinning tackle?
Paul, it was neither of those that broke the rod. But it was carelessness that was the root to the the least. Another reason to watch what you are doing when fishing fishing long lines twice as long...
Chris,
Thanks. I contacted you through your site.

While fishing today I broke my rod. The line was snagged when I went to cast and I broke 2 sections. I am still wondering how the heck I did this but I need to know how to get the correct sections. I...
Okay I edited the post. I had the wrong weights on the first to lines. They had the weight of the spool included. Now the weight for all 3 lines is with the spoll.
No weight what so ever. These are based from a video called Crystal Flash Mysis on you tube.

After watching videos and searching the web, I finally sat down and ties up some Mysis Shrimp to use for Tenkara. I am hoping the gills and trout will love these. Only time will tell. I started with...
Ray, If you really want to try Tenkara without spending $200 it is easy. Get a $50 11' tenkara rod from fountainhead. http://tenkaraflyfish.webs.com/apps/webstore/ Pick your self up a spool of 17#...
