Thanks JD. The new rods are not the same, changes have been made. They are not inferior, it's just that I have a preference for the older style.

I'll pay cash for your used Suntech Kurenai HM30. This was the shorter 3 meter (9 foot - 8 inch), 0.9 ounce tenkara rod sold by Chris Stewart, tenkarabum.com. Please respond to jwryght@gmail.com

I searched high and low for Loctite Precision Max with no success. I tried a bottle of Krazy Glue Craft (see photo) and it works great. Has a nice small nozzle dispensing just the right amount of...
Thanks for the tip, I'll track some down.

I believe it was Gary Lafontane who started Antron use in flies with his caddis patterns. Caddis seem to ascend to the surface with gas bubbles which create a glowing halo around their form. Antron...
Thanks for the tip. I am still looking for feathers, so I'll check both of these out. Most feathers have a fluffy base that would work, the trick is finding samples that don't break when you tie them...
The Antron sticks to the tacky wax all around the hook shank giving it a 3 dimensional appearance. Be aware that this is an extremely soft, sticky wax. I ensure that the dubbing is complete by...
I'm working on an improved tie for this fly for the 2013 season. I am planning to make two versions. First, I intend to incorporate a soft feather with characteristics similar to rabbit fur, but more...
Thanks Paul. I haven't actually tried it yet, but will be using it in the upcoming season. I was using an old aluminum landing net, but I don't like the larger mesh size of traditional nets that...
I wanted to share with you guys, a great net that costs very little and performs a dual function. The photo shows a 10 inch aquarium net which I have re-bent from a rectangle into a round shape. As...
I googled glass seed beads and found these as a few of the top returns:

Here are a few more bits of information on this fly which resulted from questions on another forum. I thought you guys might like to have it.
The beads appear to be 3 millimeter for the larger...
Thank you. Actually it's a rather unique method. At least I haven't seen it done before. I'll describe the process, which takes a bit of practice because certain steps have to be done quickly and ...
Thanks Scott. They are a bit more fiddly to tie than your typical Tenkara fly, but not difficult. I can put together a dozen in pretty good time.
I'm using Tenkara gear now, so thought I would share the images of a fly that I have adapted, which has been developed over a 10 year span of fishing my small home stream for 6 to 12 inch browns,...
