Tenakar on the Cheap!
Tenkara on the Cheap!
If any fly angler is interested in trying out Tenkara, they can do it on the cheap! Saying that I need to explain a few things.
I am a Minnesotan, when Minnesotans go on vacation, they put on a clean pair of blue jeans...put $10 in our back pocket...and don't change either one the whole time they are on vacation....
Before you rush out to purchase a Tenkara Fly Rod, you can see if you like fishing Tenkara Style with a light weight fly rod you already own..... Just remove the reel from the fly rod, and attach the tapered leader to the Tip-Top Guide of your fly rod.... 9 foot 3, 4, or 5 wt....with a 9 foot tapered leader and some tippet line....a soft hackle wet fly....and you are in business!
If you find that you really like fishing Tenkara Style, and wish to purchase a Tenkara Fly Rod...I would recommend our newest sponsor of FAOL..... Or as grandpa always said, Needs, Wants , and Gets are three different items.
Minnesotans make a Frugal Scotsman seem like they are "Bloody Spentthrift"....
