Chris -
I do believe that I can get a Yamame to demo in the next couple days, weather / water / fishing conditions permitting. This is more an experiment for Buddy's information than for my own longer range plans. The places I usually fish these big stonefly nymphs are more suited to conventional fly rods than Tenkara rods due to the size, current, and depth of the water.
Of course, if the rig I have in mind really works well, maybe I will need to add a Yamame to my collection.

The fish are always right.
