I prefer to think of it using a green willlow switch.
The Rinfu SR (high-contrast) is still listed on the Diawa website at:

While the URL lists it under keiryu rods the Mountain...
Chris, I have a 43M-F and I have used it two-handed in the way you describe; but I can usually manage it one-handed if my line doesn't exceed the rod length. I've found most rods are light enough...
6 years ago I ended up with a frozen right shoulder that won't allow me to lift my right arm much of anything and has defied fixing. I think it was about 2009, that I heard about tenkara and started...
I still have that rod & reel - not in the greatest shape, though. Ended up using 8wt DT line on it. I like to really feel the line.
I sure didn't start out fly-fishing for trout in 1960s southern Indiana. I was only 15 when I bought my first fly rod & reel. I studied on it some and bought a 7-weight 8.5 foot rod that set me...
Honestly, I think everyone is a little too enamored with the word "tenkara" in much the same way as I remember when I got my first fly rod - and reel - back in the '60s (I was just 12) and it seemed...
I got my hands on an cheap, old 2-piece 11 foot steelhead (somewhat 'noodle-ish'- light power/medium action) rod that I'm thinking of stripping down to the blank which I think is right a bit more...
Very simple method of creating leverage on the hook. I made something very much like that to open locked doors in the Halbouty Geology building on the Texas A&M campus when I was a grad student...
Blogger is Google - has been for quite some time now.
DFS said this on their Facebook page: "Tenkara Has Arrived! Our model is 13' and extends to 14' 7". Come check them out at the shop or at the sportsman's show. Identical models sell for $235. Ours...

One guy's idea on how to pair down. Use two adapters - ie. add weight to lose weight?

An excerpt:
Researcher Seth Wenger, the paper's lead author, said...
Both the Nissin and Daiwa Sekkei sound to be good rods. I've often thought that Sunrise might make a good color for a scud/killer bug pattern. I made up this 'palette' comparing them this spring. ...
And most are at end of the season prices - 30% off. Unfortunately, they're all in Japan and unlike Plat or AllFishBuy they do not cater to international orders. Suggested use of Google Chrome to...
So in a rod of N number of sections, the handle is always numbered as #N and then any section is numbered as #N-x, where x is the number of sections counted from the handle section (which is not...
I have a 27r but have been using size 3 line with a 6x tippet (which if you believe Rio is rated at 3.6lb test) to protect the rod. Still I have managed to land a couple of bass approaching 2lbs...
Thanks Chris, I changed that Japanese size 1 line.
I sat down one day and made out my own chart to compare not only Tenkara/Japanese line numbers but also compare the pound test of a good quality fluorocarbon and also compare that to what Rio says...
