Golden, perhaps my page was not clear. I was not talking about size 4 or 4.5 fluorocarbon line, which in my view would be much too heavy for these rods, but rather 4 meter and 4.5 meter tapered...

Since this is a family oriented forum, I suggest we self censor before the moderators do it for us. Either TLine or TiLine would do, I think.

I had not seen that video and it really doesn't show what I had mentioned. That video was edited to the point that almost every cast in the video results in a fish almost immediately. In some of his...

The combo of titanium line and hi-vis extender is pretty clearly intended for stream fishing.

It is only a fast sinking line if you don't hold it off the water's surface. The titanium line is much...

Danny,

No need to apologize. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I just disagreed with your opinion and stated why. I will echo Golden's sentiments, and hope to read more of your comments...

I don't think it is that at all. Let me share some of the thought process that was behind me trying one - and then buying another when I found out one of my suppliers carried a titanium line (which I...

I tried a titanium line a couple years ago. They are a dull gray color that blends in perfectly against almost any background, making them absolutely impossible to see. Even with a length of bright...

First, the term "tanago" is used here pretty loosely. The very small hooks and very short rods are used in Japan to fish for several species of small fish known as "tanago." They are thus tanago...

Hosscooper, you do not need a tanago rod or microfishing rod. A lot of the people who go for micros use an ultralight spinning rod. (1) because thay's what they already have and (b) it's more about...

Mike, level furled lines work just fine.

scorpion1971 asked the key question with his "what action do you like..."? There is a lot of choice with respect to both action and stiffness of the rods. Saying you like slower action, especially...

The Blue Fly Challenge is about the fly, not the delivery system. Western fly tackle or spinning tackle would be fine, as long as the fish are caught with a fly that is predominantly blue and uses...

Why are there so few blue flies? Do they not catch fish - or do they just not catch fishermen?
Accept the Blue Fly Challenge and find out.

1. Tie flies with TenkaraBum Blue Fly Yarn. You can't...

OOPS. I misread the original post. I read Prosquare and thought Pro Spec, which I do carry. I do not have Prosquare parts. I apologize for the confusion.

For the Nissin Pro Square the tip is section #1. The section after the tip is section #2 and so on. That is the counting method used by Nissin, Daiwa, Shimano, Gamakatsu, Suntech, Shimotsuke, etc.

John, I have. Once. Never again.

Works very nicely with horsehair, though.

At this point I do not plan to carry the Sansui pink line. I have had pink line in the past, and tenkara old timers may remember that I am the one who pushed Tenkara USA for months to even carry a...

Sansui sells the line but it is made for them by one of the line companies.

As a starting point, size 3 level fluorocarbon tenkara line, the length of the rod (a little less for narrow streams, a little more for lakes). If there is a bit of a breeze you might want to fish...

The Amago may slide in as a mainstream tenkara rod. Not mainstream as in right in the middle of things, but mainstream as in larger stream into which the small mountain streams flow. The one that...

There are a whole range of rods intended to be fished...

Yes, I'll have both and also the Nissin Pro Spec 2-way, which is a 3.1m - 3.6m zoom rod.

I have one of the Shimano 38ZL left (at this writing) but have an order in for more. I have already ordered...

Have to agree with both Oleg and Tom. It is a great rod. I saw them at the Osaka Fishing Show last week. I haven't had a chance to fish with one, although I have fished with their Zerosum seiryu rod,...

I have found a lot of things that are not pure tenkara to be very effective. I am sure that most tenkara anglers in the US, UK, EU and for that matter, everywhere outside of Japan, do not do pure...
