What a load of crap.
It's called competition. The TUSA guy apparently thinks he should control the entire "tenkara" concept in the USA and got his feelings hurt that someone else is doing the same thing now... AFTER he goes to china to get it done!! What the hell does he think his chinese compatriots do better than anyone else on earth?
Perhaps DFS could have been more careful of the wording in their advertisements, but TUSA needs to get over it and put on their big-boy pants. By their logic, there should only be one fly rod company, or one spinning rod company, one fly line company, etc.
HMMMMM, Good product which performs well and is priced at $235. Next to it is a good product which performs as well and is priced at $100.
Or perhaps I'm not reading it correctly. Is it based on the name? That would be akin to Ford saying no other motor vehicle manufacturer could call something a "car" or an "automobile".
Either way, it's another illustration of snobbery and ego which just perpetuates the perceived elitism of the fly fishing community.

To the simpleton, proof does not matter once emotion takes hold of an issue.
