Even a right handed oneOriginally Posted by NJTroutbum
I'm thinking that a left handed Tenkara Rod is in the cards?
Because casting a tenkara rod is all wrist and forearm, with virtually no upper arm motion, the shoulder really doesn't come into play. You could cast, fish, fight and land the fish with your elbow at your side. Fishing with the arm fully outstretched is poor form and fighting a fish with the arm raised overhead is not necessary.
If you still have a range of motion in your forearms and wrist, there is no need to give up fishing. The days of the double haul may be over, but casting a fly to a rising fish does not require shoulder mobility, at least with a tenkara rod.
