Hi all,
I'm looking for some suggestions on a beginner's tenkara kit. I've looked at the Iwana from T USA and I looked at patagonia's kit (I have a $230 gift card).
My question is:
What would be a good rod for a beginner? What sort of kit do I need? Can you provide any examples?
As always, thanks in advance
I found Fountainhead rods to be a great value:
tenkaraflyfish.webs.com/tenkararods.htm
For starters I would NOT go with the Patagonia kit. It is simply a tfo Tenkara rod with a Patagonia label, and has hardly any action. Otherwise I'd check out Tenkara USA and tenkarabum as well I think my next rod will be a Tenkara times try rod. It is under 2.5 ounces and I have heard nothing but good about it.
I just picked up a Wetfly starter tenkara kit on The Clymb (nicely discounted).
It's free to join and while there isn't always something I'm looking for available – there are often some good deals on gear.
If you use this link I disclose that I get a credit for people joining. I like the site so whether you use this method or just sign up it's worth it.
Great stuff, thanks all
I think I'm going to go with the shimotsuke starter kit from tenkara bum. Thanks everyone!
