Ladyfisher,
How much stress can your left shoulder take? Although casting left handed with a tenkara rod should be easier than with a conventional fly rod I don't notice that much less stress with...

I think you'll like it. The extra reach is a big help when fishing ponds & lake and the extra power of the Hera rod will let you fish for larger fish than you can tackle with a tenkara rod. I'm...

After I got my tenkara rod from TenkaraUSA I started thinking that I would like something longer and more powerful. The tenkara rod is great, very compact when collapsed, light and easy to handle but...
