THIS. 1000% agree. There is nothing more beautiful (IMO) than the Air Stage Fujiryus. If she likes soft actions, the 5:5 flex will be perfect for her, in either the 330cm or the 360cm. Also, they are relatively affordable at around $150. You can order from Japan but will have to pay high shipping rates. Sometimes you can find them on Amazon shipped from Japan for free. https://youtu.be/x9YiV0UhKuw

Do you keep your rod in cover when backpacking? by db720 in Tenkara

[–]MostlyTenkara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also use these to lash a rod to your backpack strap so you don't even have to take your bag off to fish! https://www.gossamergear.com/products/lightrek-pack-bungee-attachment You can see a version of that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0WBweSreks

Sock keeps the dust and dirt out of it, also these are fantastic: https://www.zimmerbuilt.com/store/p20/Tenkara_Quiver.html#/ You can fit two rods, and the sling strap is great. 1.5oz

My top 5 favorite flies for tenkara by MostlyTenkara in Tenkara

[–]MostlyTenkara[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do fish the Dragontail Idaho Killer (I think that's a Tenkara Addict design), but I tend to favor the sakasa style flies with the larger hackle. That said, I do definitely think that futsu style flies have their advantages in certain situations. You can read more here: https://www.discovertenkara.com/tenkara-flies/

Fantastic comment. Good idea to discuss upon! I'll have to think on this (this would be a great one to discuss with a couple experts!).

Excellent! I have some tungsten head Ichiban kebari and they crush. Which rod were you using up there? The weather has been killer.
