Well, there is nothing that your Pflueger can't do vs. Tenkara. the one difference is the weight of the rod. about 2.1 oz. compared to yours. If you have so many doubts forget it, you probably won't be happy. I love fishing my Tenkara rods both wet and drys. It's just a different feel that you have with the rod. It's like the difference between plastic and bamboo. They both accomplish the same objective.
