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...

Chris, are you going to carry the Shimano 38ZL as well as the Zerosum?

Thanks

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#...

Paul watch this video. At the very begging Tenkara-no-Oni is doing what they call snake rolls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTld2_yAHO4&list=UL

Now If I understand your problem with long lines...

Paul,

I have not used a true Clouser with a Tenkara rod and do not see myself using them. They are too heavy to cast effectively. I have used panfish charlies or crazy charlies with large bead...

Brandon sent me his Bushi Line and a Sempai type line to review. I was pleased he choose me to review his lines again. I really like his shorter 13.5' Furled lines I tested and talked to him about...

Greg I do not know the answer to this. Chris might be able to answer this since he sells this rod. He may have overlooked you post asking this. You might try to send him a PM or contact him through...

I would like an 11ft 3WT 4 piece switch rod.

Why do you think Winston is gouging on rod repairs? The Boron blanks by themselves sell for 400 to 550. If your blank sells for 400 and is a 4 piece then you buy the section you need for 100. Then,...

John,

What rod do you have that is 17ft? Would you mind giving us a review of this rod? The longest rod I have is the Nissin 4510 ProSquare.

Brandon, How far are you willing to travel? This may help us from posting shows to far away. Another thing is how long the show is. I now of 3 shows within a 2 hour drive of Indianapolis but they are...

Brandon,

From what I gather, it is easier to make the line with shorter sections. Since it is not really furled line but a twisted line. A twisted line like these are a real pain to make in longer...
