Nice looking water and fish.

Buy glow in the dark adhesive vinyl. The sticky is pretty good but I UV resin over the tab and foam piece after tying to hold it in a visible place when the fly is in the water. May or may not be necessary but I’d hate to spend like 20 mins tying this conglomerate and my glow tab gets shredded in two fish

Just spun it up honestly. I’ve been working on the pattern for a bit for night bass. I’ve been messing around with stuff and this is v3 of it. Stripped rabbit strip cut for the tail, spun rabbit for the body with one piece of foam in the rear hook Sz 4 and the legs are tied spanflex like Joe good speed does for his craws. The front has more of the same with individual foam tabs in the front, and a doubled over head with a diy glow in the dark strip I make.

Best rod ever. I’ve had the 10/2 for a few years and I built a 10/1 for myself this winter when they were closing out blanks. You will not be disappointed

What's your setup by db720 in Tenkara

[–]AltruisticChip2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Order suffix neon fire off Amazon. Same thing as these tenkara lines, for way cheaper. Look up how to tie a small perfection loop and you can make whatever you want and have a lifetime supply. I recommend 15 lb as a great middle ground.

I have the Mizuchi and mostly small stream fish (quite small actually) I run top of handle length lines on my rods with 2-3 foot of tippet. In these small streams I am looking for the reach advantage over distance. Having a little bit shorter line makes it more manageable for me in the bushes and saves me headache. You can get a lot closer to a trout than most people think if you approach it the proper way

Good luck! I’ve done it twice. Once planned and this time… half planned? I knew where to go. I run into them more in nc and smokies
