As a counter point to the lavish praise heaped upon the TUSA Amago Rod above, here is a view of another rod that I like a lot better than My Amago Rod:...

Warren, thanks for putting that information and the link up. On all of my corkless grip rods I have installed stool feet to protect the butt end of the rods, the rubber replacement feet made for...

Thank you Chris for correcting what was, clearly, My mistake. Once an angler experiences what it is like to Tenkara fly fish with a super light weight fixed line rod, his or her older, heavier...
I agree with all the statements made above. With respect to the different rod choices now available in the US., I believe Chris's following little essay really hits the nail on the head:...
If you enjoy catching bluegill and crappie as much as I do, then these may be just the rods you have been looking for. They have great length to give you a lot of reach out into ponds and lakes - 12'...

Second Up Date 5/3/20/13: This stream was in between the size of the other two streams previously reported on, with the water running high enough from snow melt run-off that most of the stream was...

Be sure to watch the video all the way through so you can see what some of these materials look like under Black Light.
I apologize that it has taken so long for me to get back to you on how well this rod fishes, but I believe I have a good excuse for not doing it sooner: Trout season just opened yesterday where I...
Dennis you might want to take a look at this: http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/search_catalog_command.cmd?fromProductSearch=true&item1=TP-32-2758
I made a Slinky Indicator myself out of some...
Generally speaking (especially where there is a lot of shallow under water weed growth), fishing a very shallow running fly, or a foam surface pattern, or a popping bug will keep your line out of the...
Brad, thank you for putting that up. I was not aware that information was available here. I have not looked at what the general boards have to offer other than for viewing the excellent stillwater...

Actually the line does not need to go very far up into the braid to be secure. The video shows...
You should already know how to tie the Uni-knot from the instructions for tying the Double Uni-knot, which is just the first half of the Double Uni-knot and used for tying the line or leader butt to...
Dennis, I do not believe it is foolish to use T-tackle under weedy conditions at all. But you may have to think outside of the traditional Tenkara box a little to reap the most rewards from fishing...
I am going to put up some links for visual instruction on how to tie the knots involved in making up Tapered T-Lines.
First, the Double Uni-knot:...
What in the world is the Rod Flex Index? Well it is a way to more accurately judge what a fixed line rod will cast and feel like compared to other rods out there. Essentialy it is Chris's Common...
Building Up Your Own Tapered FC Tenkara Lines
Background:
Stream Fishing: My first T-line was a 10 long Nylon Furled T-USA line that I did not like at all right from the get go. It kinked...
I do not know for sure if this is one of the videos Chris spoke of, but it is interesting and impressive, both from the standpoint of what it took to get into the stream and the fishing itself. I...
CZ,
Thank you for a most informative post. The information you presented will help a lot of T-anglers here make up their minds on whether or not they want to try a Ti Line. I know it has helped me...
Tenkara dry fly fishing gets almost no mention on most of the Tenkara Forums, which is because most of the more traditionally oriented Tenkara boards out there are promoting the more traditional...
