Tips for Use:
– Practice “pulse casting” (Tenkara’s signature casting technique).
– Keep flies small (size 12–18) for best results.
– Use the rod’s flexibility to play fish—no reel means relying on the rod’s action.
If you’re looking for a fuss-free way to enjoy stream fishing, this kit is a solid choice! For larger fish or technical waters, consider a longer/heavier Tenkara rod or traditional fly gear.
