This is my first exposure to fixed line fishing. Did some reading about the tenkara style of fishing (fly fishing) and all I had in the way of small lures was a jig around 1/64th oz.I bought the 15' version and pictured this as just hanging the pole out over the water, or maybe lobbing gently. Anyway, tied onto the lilian cord with 15' of 6lb test monofilament with that jig on the end...and I've been catching panfish ever since.You can point the rod pretty much straight up and smoothly press it forward and up--the lower to the water to lob the jig out without much backcast. Goes pretty much the full length of the line. Or, you can pop it up and back [pretty close to what I understand as the actual tenkara cast method] and the forward and down. Just guide the line as it slowly sinks in a pulsing, darting fashion. You're not retrieving the line--you're just sweeping it off to the side and/or up.This presentation fishes in 5-10' of water pretty well. I've used it off my kayak and from shore.Eager to try some completely unweighted flies. Guessing that requires a thicker/stiffer line which matches up with the original style presentation of 14' test fluorocarbon or thicker "furled" braided lines coupled with a tippet. To my mind, the biggest reason to step down from a lure to an unweighted fly is that you can further reduce the size of the offering. This jig has mylar fiber tail and it's just over 1" long so still a pretty large presentation for the smaller fish in these ponds I'm fishing.That said, a spectrum of presentation options is the objective. But it's crazy to think that folks are promoting tenkara as simple (with a heavy implication that it's cheap) when you can get success with a $20 rod, a $.50 jig, a few feet of mono, and this combo is pretty fun to fish too! The fun really comes in when 3-4" fish are putting a bend in the line and feel like they're pulling their weight. 8" bluegills and 10" crappie are feeling like monsters. I'm having more fun panfishing than ever before. Definitely want to stick with this method and refine it. Not sure I'm going to be slinging those grubs/spoons/spinners on my 6' test light spinning gear anymore. Not when targeting panfish! I'd had my eye out for 5'6" UL rods and 4' test--and never once liked one when I picked it up at the store. Whippy and awful. I think this is what I was looking for all along.

I have purchased a few of these telescopic rods and use them to catch mullet for bait.The spare tip segment is very useful, and for the two I have broken (just from rough use and general lack of care) I just pulled both apart and reconstructed to have one working rod.For day to day use I suggest making your own furled leader by twisting a doubled up length of braid using a drill until it furls and lays limp.Ive also had great success making a tenkara leader holder using an 8-10cm hole saw to drill a disk of rubber out of a thong. Then take a hack saw to create a channel around edge of the disc of rubber to lay the leader in. The leader holder is then is pushed over the collapsed rod through its middle hole and sits nicely above the handle.

This product is probably a decent quality product, thats if you know what the hell a tenkara rod is. When it arrived I was like, Where is the eyelets for the fishing rod? Thats probabaly because I am a bit ignorant of what a tenkara rod is. So heads up! This fishing rod is for people who know what a tenkara rod is but not for your average joe who expects to throw a reel on it and cast for fish. Those people should stay away!
